I think, A106 Gr.6 seems more approptiate from for the service conditions.

SA106 B/C material is a seamless piping material recommended for this lower temperature steam service. It has been specified specifically for steam service for many, many decades.
A53B is also a carbon steel piping material that may or may not be seamless
At 120 bar, you have a significant pressure system. This design pressure will control your pipe wall thickness.
Suggest that you purchase and review the "Piping Handbook" by Nayaar. It has a chapter on steam piping systems.
