A106-A is equivalent to the domestic 10# steel material, and A106-B is equivalent to the domestic 20# steel material. It is a steel pipe material commonly used at home and abroad. A106 seamless steel pipe is mainly used in construction, mechanical processing, electrical, petrochemical and other industries. There are two main production processes, one is cold drawing and the other is hot rolling. Cold drawing has higher dimensional accuracy than hot rolling, and the surface of hot rolled steel pipe is relatively rough. Large-diameter seamless steel pipes use hot-rolled steel pipes, while small-diameter seamless steel pipes use a cold-drawn process. A106 seamless steel pipes for export must be beveled, painted, and plastic pipe caps added to both ends. They must also undergo commodity inspection and can only be exported after passing the commodity inspection. GNEE's main export countries include Malaysia, the United States, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Italy, etc.
