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.
