Pipe Specification ASTM-A106
Pipe Specification ASTM-A106
Pipe Specification ASTM-A106
10 Covers SEAMLESS nominal size and wall pipe for hightemperature service, suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations.
Heat treated cold drawn pipe may be furnished to this specification. Optional supplementary requirements may be specified when pipe 8 inch and larger is intended for use where a superior grade is required.
Other sizes and dimensions may be furnished Hydrostatic Testing Hydrostatic test pressures are calculated using the Barlow formula. Each pipe shall be tested to 60 percent of specified minimum yield strength, but not exceeding 2500 psi for3 inch nominal size or smaller, or 2800 psi for sizes over 3 inch. Permissible Variations in Weights Per Foot For schedule 120 and lighter Pipe shall not vary more than 6.5 percent over and 3.5 percent under weights shown in ANSI B36.10. For pipe heavier than schedule 120 Pipe shall not vary more than 10 percent over and 3.5 percent under weights shown in ANSI B36.10. Sizes 4 inch and smaller are weighed in convenient lots. Pipe in sizes larger than 4 inch is weighed separately.
PIPE SPECIFICATIONS Permissible Variations in OD A106 1/8" - 26" STD, XS and XXS ANSI B36.10 Other sizes and dimensions may be furnished OUTSIDE DIAMETER shall not exceed variations as listed below: Nominal Pipe Size 1/8 to 1-1/2, incl Over 1-1/2 to 4, incl Over 4 to 8, incl Over 8 to 18, incl Over 18 to 26, incl Over, Inch 1/64 (0.015) 1/32 (0.031) 1/16 (0.062) 3/32 (0.093) 1/8 (0.125) Under, Inch 1/64 (0.015) 1/32 (0.031) 1/32 (0.031) 1/32 (0.031) 1/32 (0.031)
Permissible Variations in Wall Thickness Minimum wall thickness at any point shall not be more than 12.5 percent under nominal wall thickness specified. Specification contains a table of minimum wall thicknesses on inspection calculated as 0.875 x nominal wall. Chemical Requirements Composition, max. percent C Mn max.

PIPE SPECIFICATIONS Mechanical Tests Specified A106 1/8" - 26" TENSILE TEST Required on all sizes.
BEND TEST Required on sizes 2 inch and smaller. Pipe shall stand cold bending through 90 degrees around a mandrel with a diameter twelve times the nominal diameter of the pipe without cracking. If for close coiling bend shall be 180 degrees around diameter eight times the nominal diameter of pipe.
Other sizes and dimensions may be furnished FLATTENING TEST Required on sizes over 2 inch in nominal diameter.
