[MW:1642] Re: FW: API 5L Gr B and A 106 Gr B

Dear all,

This is not true always. (use as an alternate to each other). Some occasions
one standard pipe can not be replaced/used in place of other, depending upon
design/ service requirement.

The common similarity between these pipes are Tensile & yield strength
property.

ASTM A 106 pipe is seamless by default (Always), whereas API 5L may be
manufactured as welded construction as well. Some specific cases, designer
specifies only seamless pipes (A 106) are acceptable, you may not able to
replace it with API 5L Gr B (welded) pipe.

A 106 need not be tested for notch toughness. Where as API 5L pipes can be
'demanded' for notch toughness test.
At locations/conditions where materials need to be have notch toughness &
resist crack propagation, API 5L certified pipes are recommended & preferred
rather than A 106.

Sanjeevan
