ASTM A106 Seamless Steel Pipe

ASTM A106 seamless steel pipe is made of American standard carbon steel material. It is a long strip steel with a hollow cross-section and no seams around it. Steel pipes have a hollow cross-section and are widely used as pipelines for conveying fluids, usually in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

ASTM A106 seamless steel pipes can be divided into hot-rolled pipes, cold-rolled pipes, cold drawn pipes, extruded pipes, etc. According to different production methods. Hot rolled seamless pipes are generally produced on automatic pipe rolling mills. The solid tube is inspected for damage and surface defects are removed. It is cut into the required length and centered on the end face of the tube blank perforation end. It is then sent to the heating furnace for heating and perforated on the perforation machine.

During the piercing process, continuous rotation and advancement occur, and under the action of the rolling mill and the top, a cavity gradually forms inside the damaged tube, known as a capillary. Then it is sent to the automatic pipe rolling machine for further rolling, and the entire machine is uniformly adjusted for wall thickness.

The diameter is determined by the sizing machine and meets the standard requirements. The use of a continuous rolling mill to produce hot-rolled ASTM A106 seamless pipes is a more advanced method. ASTM A106 seamless pipes have a wide range of applications, mainly used as pipelines or structural components for conveying fluids. These two processes differ in terms of precision, surface quality, minimum size, mechanical properties, and organizational structure.
