- - By Richard V. Roch (**) Date 03-27-2006 16:26
Does anyone out there know if A106C pipe would meet an average of 18 ft/lbs charpy impacts at -32F? We are trying to use A106C in lieu of A333 Gr.6 Any help would be appreciated. Also would normalizing A106C improve the charpy values?
Thanks in advance.

A106 is designed for high temperature applications and A333 for low temperature applications. Any single piece of A106 may pass a charpy test for those ft/lbs at that temperature but I wouldn't expect it to happen on a regular basis. It's just not designed and manufactured to do it. On the other hand, A333 is designed and manufactured for low temperature.

Normalizing A106 may help to some small degree, but I would not put too much faith in it.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks Mike. Any other product form we could use instead of A333 GR. 6?
thanks

Not that would be cost effective. Sorry.
