A106 Pipe Supplier

Sourcing A106 pipe that meets exact heat and pressure requirements can slow a project down when a supplier only stocks common sizes. Saginaw Pipe proudly supplies A106 pipe in nominal sizes from 1/8 inch through 48 inch OD, drawing on more than 41 years of experience as a steel service center. As a dependable A106 pipe supplier, we combine mill relationships across the country with an inventory built for contractors, fabricators, and engineers who cannot afford downtime waiting on pipe.

A106 Grade B Pipe: The Most Widely Specified Grade

A106 Grade B pipe is the specification most engineers call out when a job requires seamless carbon steel pipe rated for high-temperature, high-pressure service. Grade B carries a minimum yield strength of 35,000 psi and a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, giving it the strength margin needed for process piping, steam lines, and boiler feed systems. Because A106 pipe is manufactured without a seam, it removes a common point of failure in service conditions where heat cycling and pressure fluctuate. Saginaw stocks A106 Grade B pipe as part of our broader carbon steel pipe inventory, alongside A252, A500, and API 5L grades.

A106 Pipe Specifications & Available Sizes

A106 pipe specifications call for seamless manufacture only, produced hot finished or cold drawn depending on size and wall thickness. As with our seamless carbon steel pipe offering more broadly, A106 pipe ships without a weld seam in every size we carry. Saginaw stocks A106 pipe from 1/8 inch nominal through 48 inch OD, in Schedule 40, Schedule 80, STD, and XS wall thicknesses, with additional schedules available on request. 

Chemistry is held within tight limits on carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon to support the pipe's performance at elevated temperatures. Full dimension charts and wall thickness tables are available in our Steel Reference Handbook for engineers specifying A106 pipe on a project.

Industries & Applications for A106 Pipe

A106 pipe is the standard choice wherever a piping system operates under sustained heat or pressure. Common applications include:

  • Refinery and petrochemical process piping
  • Power generation and boiler feed lines
  • Steam distribution systems
  • Oil and gas transmission piping
  • Industrial process lines exposed to thermal cycling

Saginaw supplies A106 pipe across these and other sectors covered on our industries served page, backed by inventory depth that keeps projects moving instead of waiting on mill lead times.
