3 inch carbon steel pipe Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties play a significant role in determining the performance and suitability of a carbon steel pipe. These properties include tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness.
Tensile strength refers to the maximum amount of tensile stress that a material can withstand before failure, while yield strength is the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Elongation measures the ability of the material to stretch without breaking, and hardness indicates the resistance of the material to deformation.
| Mechanical | Grade | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Elongation | Hardness |
| ASTM A106 | A | 330 MPa (48 ksi) | 205 MPa (30 ksi) | 20–30% | Approx. 120 HB (Brinell Hardness) |
| B | 415 MPa (60 ksi) | 240 MPa (35 ksi) | 20–30% | 120–180 HB | |
| C | 485 MPa (70 ksi) | 275 MPa (40 ksi) | 20–25% | Approx. 180 HB | |
| ASTM A53 | A | 330 MPa (48 ksi) | 205 MPa (30 ksi) | 20–28% | Approx. 120 HB |
| B | 415 MPa (60 ksi) | 240 MPa (35 ksi) | 20–28% | Approx. 120–180 HB |
