No. Your best bet is to review ASTM A-53 Specification for Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped Galvanized, Zinc Coated, Welded and Seamless, and compare the differences directly.

The main difference between Grades A and B in this Specification is the carbon content, which effects mechanical properties. The Grade A carbon content is 0.25% max, while Grade B carbon content is 0.30% max. Grade A has a reported UTS of 48 Ksi, while Grade B is 60 Ksi.
