PIPE SPECIFICATIONS


Scope

A106

1/8″ – 26″

Covers SEAMLESS nominal size and wall pipe for high-temperature service, suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations.
STD, XS AND
XXS
ANSI B36.10
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 for 3 inch nominal size or smaller, or 2800 psi for sizes over 3 inch.
 
Permissible Variations in Weights Per Foot

Pipe shall not vary more than 6.5 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.
