- Wall thickness: SCH 10 to SCH 160, and XXH
- Lengths: 20ft to 40ft (5.8m to 13m), single random lengths, and double random lengths

*Standards and Testing:*

- ASTM A106 standard specification covers seamless carbon steel pipes for high-temperature services
- Testing includes flattening tests, hydrostatic tests, nondestructive electric tests, ultrasonic tests, and eddy current tests
¹ ²

*Applications:*

- Oil and gas extraction
- Power generation
- Construction and structural purposes
- Boiler systems
- Pipeline systems for water and mineral slurry transmission
