Designation:A106/A106M15Used in USDOE-NE standardsStandard Specification forSeamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A106/A106M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification2covers seamless carbon steel pipe forhigh-temperature service(Note 1)in NPS18to NPS 48 DN 6to DN 1200(Note 2)inclusive,with nominal(average)wallthickness as given in ASME B 36.10M.It shall be permissibleto furnish pipe having other dimensions provided such pipecomplies with all other requirements of this specification.Pipeordered under this specification shall be suitable for bending,flanging,and similar forming operations,and for welding.When the steel is to be welded,it is presupposed that a weldingprocedure suitable to the grade of steel and intended use orservice will be utilized.NOTE1It is suggested,consideration be given to possible graphitiza-tion.NOTE2The dimensionless designator NPS(nominal pipe size)DN(diameter nominal)has been substituted in this standard for suchtraditional terms as“nominal diameter,”“size,”and“nominal size.”1.2 Supplementary requirements of an optional nature areprovided for seamless pipe intended for use in applicationswhere a superior grade of pipe is required.These supplemen-tary requirements call for additional tests to be made and whendesired shall be so stated in the order.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Sections 11,12,and 13 of this specifica-tion:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A530/A530M Specification for General Requirements forSpecialized Carbon and Alloy Steel PipeE213 Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of Metal Pipe andTubingE309 Practice for Eddy-Current Examination of Steel Tubu-lar Products Using Magnetic SaturationE381 Method of Macroetch Testing Steel Bars,Billets,Blooms,and ForgingsE570 Practice for Flux Leakage Examination of Ferromag-netic Steel Tubular Products2.2 ASME Standard:ASME B 36.10M Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe42.3 Military Standards:MIL-STD-129Marking for Shipment and Storage5MIL-STD-163 Steel Mill Products,Preparation for Ship-ment and Storage52.4 Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)5Fed.Std.No.183 Continuous Identification Marking of Ironand Steel Products52.5 Other Standards:SSPC-SP 6 Surface Preparation Specification No.663.Ordering Information3.1 The inclusion of the following,as required will describethe desired material adequately,when ordered under thisspecification:3.1.1 Quantity(feet,metres,or number of lengths),3.1.2 Name of material(seamless carbon steel pipe),3.1.3 Grade(Table 1),3.1.4 Manufacture(hot-finished or cold-drawn),1This specification is under the jurisdiction of Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloysand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved Nov.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 1926.Last previous edition in 2014 as A106/A106M14.DOI:10.1520/A0106_A0106M-15.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specifi-cations SA-106 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Two Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.5Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,Section D,700 Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5098.6Available from Society for Protective Coatings(SSPC),40 24th St.,6th Floor,Pittsburgh,PA 15222-4656,http:/www.sspc.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.5 Size(NPS DN and weight class or schedule number,or both;outside diameter and nominal wall thickness;or insidediameter and nominal wall thickness),3.1.6 Special outside diameter toler
