Our ASME B36.10M Grade B carbon steel pipes are engineered for high-pressure and high-temperature industrial systems. With higher carbon content (0.3% max) than standard Grade A, these pipes deliver enhanced strength and durability for critical oil & gas, power plant, and process industry applications.
Key Features
ASME B36.10M Compliant - Meets strict dimensional & material standards
Grade B Carbon Steel - Higher tensile strength (≥60,000 psi) vs. Grade A
Pressure-Temperature Optimized - Suitable for SCH 40 to SCH XXS heavy-wall services
Seamless & Welded Options - ERW, SAW, or seamless manufacturing
Corrosion-Resistant Coatings - Available with FBE, epoxy, or galvanized finishes
