Pipeline transportation is a widely adopted method for conveying fluid materials—such as gas, liquids, and slurry—across long distances through enclosed pipeline networks. Driven by a pressure differential generated by pumps or compressors, this system facilitates the directional flow of materials from production or storage sites to end users, including industrial facilities and consumers. This article will briefly introduce advantages of seamless pipes in pipeline transportation.

Seamless steel pipes are produced by piercing solid round billets of steel, resulting in a pipe with no weld seams along its body. Among them, ASTM A106 Grade B seamless pipes represent a widely used standard for carbon steel seamless pipes in the American system. This article explores the main chemical composition and material characteristics of A106B seamless pipes, highlighting their performance in demanding applications.

Seamless steel pipes (SMLS) are widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical processing, and natural gas due to their high strength and excellent performance under pressure. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of pipeline systems, hydrostatic testing is a critical quality assurance procedure. This testing method verifies the pipe’s pressure-bearing capacity, tightness, and structural integrity before it is put into service.

The wall thickness deviation of seamless steel pipes is a critical indicator of their dimensional accuracy and overall quality. Acceptable deviation ranges vary depending on the applicable standard, manufacturing process (hot rolling, cold rolling, cold drawing), and nominal dimensions. Below is a detailed summary of widely adopted international and Chinese national standards regarding wall thickness deviation, compiled by Continental Steel Co., Ltd.
