A106 Grade B vs Grade C Comparisons

A106 Grade B (Most Popular)

  • • Max Carbon Content: 0.30%
  • • Yield Strength: 35,000 psi
  • • Tensile Strength: 60,000 psi
  • • Superior weldability, highly suitable for flanging and bending. Often triple-certified.

A106 Grade C

  • • Max Carbon Content: 0.35%
  • • Yield Strength: 40,000 psi
  • • Tensile Strength: 70,000 psi
  • • Used where higher mechanical strengths are required. Slightly harder to weld than Grade B.
