| In ASTM A 333 Gr 6, unwanted materials like vanadium, Niobium, Copper, cobalt etc are not present, whether intentionally or unintentionally added. Moreover compared to other grades it is fine grain steel and (I think) bit cheap compared to 333 Grade 1 ( only Gr 1 and 6 follow strict chemical composition) Above said is my small analysis to my limited knowledge.

Dear Prashant,
If you compare Low temperature Carbon steel i.e A 333 Gr 6 with High
temperature Carbon steel i.e A 106 Gr B, there is no major difference in
chemical composition.
The difference is grain size. A 333 is fine grain steel, where as A 106 is coarse grain steel.
Fine grain in LTCS is achieved by Combination of heat treatment during pipe manufacturing process .refer ASME Sec 2 Part A, A 333 for heat process used.
Fine grain steel posses good impact properties when compared to coarse grain steel.
Only this makes the difference between A 333 and A 106 pipe
