ASTM A106 gr. B seamless steel pipe shall be tested for mechanical properties. ASTM A106 gr. B seamless steel pipe is widely used to manufacture structural parts and mechanical parts, such as petroleum drill pipe, automobile transmission shaft, bicycle frame and steel scaffold used in construction.
Using steel pipe to manufacture annular parts can improve material utilization, simplify manufacturing process and save materials and processing hours. ASTM A106 gr. B seamless steel pipe has been widely used to manufacture. The testing methods of mechanical properties are mainly divided into two categories: tensile test and hardness test.
Because the tensile test is not easy to test, and it is convenient to convert from hardness to strength, more and more people only test the hardness of materials and less test their strength. ASTM A106 gr. B seamless steel pipe has hollow section and is widely used as pipeline for conveying fluid, such as pipeline for conveying oil, natural gas, gas, water and some solid materials.
Compared with solid steel such as round steel, ASTM A106 gr. B seamless steel pipe has the same flexural and torsional strength and lighter weight. It is an economic section steel.
