Carbon steel tubes

With reference to carbon steel tubes, Tecra supplies SEAMLESS TUBES IN RODS.

One of the most commercialized is carbon steel A106 that is frequently used in high temperatures environments. It is especially used in: refineries and high temperatures gas or liquid transportation plants. In fact, in very cold contexts or subject to huge thermal excursion, using is not recommended or it can be recommended, only after having undergone specific leakage tests. More precisely, carbon steel ASTM A106 gr.B is used in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, on/off shore oil rigs and for vessels pipes.

As in cold contexts, the same attention must be paid in case of welding and in highly corrosive environments.

CARBON STEEL TUBES - IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS:

Carbon steel (CS) is an alloy of iron and carbon (whose level can not be more than 2.1%, otherwise we talk about cast iron) belonging to the macrocategory of non- alloy steel; in fact, to be defined as such it can not have any other tied element. For the fact of not having other tied elements, it is the less fine steel and, for these reasons it has poor mechanical properties. In the meanwhile, compared to iron, it is more elastic, so it is widely used in the industrial field. Visually speaking, in comparison with stainless steel, it is more opaque and considering its properties is surely less resistant to corrosion.

Depending on the carbon percentage they have got, carbon steels can be divided into 3 groups:
