(OP)
Where can I look to find the composition of steel used to make ASTM A 53 and A 106 pipe? I have some old(er) pipe that I need to evaluate its in-service condition that may or may not be ASTM spec pipe... No records are available to me. I want to make sure that the steel I am using to calibrate my UT machine is close in acoustic properties as I can get.
Thanks for the help.

They cost $47 and $35, respectively.
If you can't/won't do this, then a random Google search provides some sites with some composition information.

I am looking to have step wedges made at a local machine shop and I have asked them to make them out of the same steel as A 53 and A 106. Their reply was "OK, what grade of steel is that?" I am at a loss to answer that question...
