ASTM A106 pipe is the carbon seamless steel pipe that widely used for different industries. For oil and gas pipelines, water transmissions, mineral slurry, boiler and high pressure services, construction and structural.
A106 pipe has three grades: Grade A and Grade B and C, where in most circumstances used for Grade B.

We shall explain from different aspects that why ASTM A106 Grade B pipe has so large requirements in the markets:
ASTM A106 standard specifications
ASTM A106 is the standard specification for seamless carbon steel pipe applied for high temperature services.
Dimensions Schedule Range
The standard covers pipe sizes in NPS (National Standard Straight) from 10.3mm DN6 – 1219mm DN1200 (1/8 inch to 48 inch), complied with ASME B 36.10M. But other sizes out of this B36.10 also could apply the A106 standard.
ASTM A106 Pipe Specifications
Raw materials
ASTM A106 standard raw material is carbon steel, it shall be applicable for bending, flanging or similar forming processes.
