At a glance
ASTM A333 (ASME SA-333) Grade 6 is seamless carbon steel pipe for low-temperature service, Charpy impact-tested at −45 °C (−50 °F). It is used where ordinary carbon steel would become brittle, such as gas processing, refrigeration and cold-climate lines. Sizes follow ASME B36.10M; pipe is supplied to order with EN 10204 3.1 certificates.
