ASTM A106 Grade B is the benchmark carbon steel specification for seamless pipe intended for high-temperature and high-pressure service. Produced by hot-finishing and supplied in the normalised condition, it offers dependable weldability, consistent grain structure and reliable creep behaviour, which is why it remains the default choice for refinery, boiler and process piping worldwide.
Sarovar Tube Industries manufactures, stocks and exports ASTM A106 Grade B Seamless Pipes from Mumbai to customers across the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Every heat is verified by in-house testing before despatch and supported by complete documentation, so the material you receive is exactly the material you specified.
