Model Number:
ASME SA334 GR.6
ASME SA334 GR.6 Seamless Tube Low Temperature Carbon Steel Tube
ASME SA334 Gr.6 seamless pipe is a type of carbon steel pipe used in cryogenic applications. Its main difference from other grades of the same standard is that it is nickel-free, resulting in lower costs, and it is suitable for temperatures above -45°C.
It is used in almost all well-known LNG, polar oil and gas, and large-scale chemical projects.
