API 5L pipe is a carbon steel pipe that is commonly used in oil and gas industries. It also serves as a means to carry other fluids like steam, water and mud.

Manufacturing Types

API 5L applies to both welded and seamless pipe

Welded Types: ERW, SAW, DSAW, LSAW, SSAW, HSAW Pipe

Typical varieties of API 5L welded pipe are as below:

ERW: Electric resistance welding is used for pipe with diameter less than 24 inch.

DSAW/ SAW: Double-sided submerged arc welding/submerged arc welding is another method of welding that can be used in place of ERW for large diameter pipe.

LSAW: Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding used for up to 48 inches in diameter pipe. Known as the JCOE forming process.

SSAW/HSAW: Spiral submerged arc welding/spiral submerged arc welding up to 100 inches diameter pipe.

Contact Us to Learn the Differences Between ERW, LSAW, and SSAW pipe.

Seamless Pipe Types: Hot-rolled Seamless Pipe and Cold-rolled Seamless Pipe

Seamless pipe is typically used for small diameter pipes (typically less than 24 inches).

(Seamless steel pipe is more commonly used than welded pipe for pipe diameters less than 150 mm (6 inches).

We also stock large diameter seamless pipe. Using a hot-rolling technique we can manufacture up to 20" (508 mm) diameter seamless pipe. If you need a seamless pipe over 20" in diameter, we can manufacture it up to 40" (1016 mm) in diameter by a hot-expanded technique.

API 5L Pipe Grade

API 5L specifies the following grades: Grade B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80.

There are many different grades of steel for API 5L steel pipe such as Grade B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80. With the increase of steel grade, the carbon equivalent control is more stringent, the mechanical strength is higher.

Also, the chemical composition of the API 5L seamless and welded pipes for a particular grade is not the same, the welded pipe has more higher demands and less amount of carbon and sulfur.

Specification Level : PSL1 , PSL2

PSL1 and PSL2 are different in the scope of testing as well as in their chemical and mechanical properties.

PSL2 is more stringent than the PSL1 in chemical composition, tensile properties, impact test, non-destructive testing and so on.
Impact Testing

Only PSL2 requires impact testing: except X80.

NDT: Non Destructive Testing. PSL1 does not require non destructive testing in case of discounting non destructive testing is applicable. PSL2 does.

(Non-destructive examination: Non-destructive testing (NDT) and NDT testing (when using NDT testing procedures written in API 5L) are the application of one or more non-destructive testing techniques such as radiography, ultrasonic (US), or others (which the material is not destroyed) to identify flaws and imperfections in pipes.)

For more details, contact us to learn more about the differences between API 5L PSL1 and PSL2.

Packing and Transportation

Packaging is generally naked, steel wire binding, very strong.
If you have special requirements, you can use rust proof packaging, and more beautiful.

Precautions for packaging and transportation of carbon steel pipes

1.During Transport & Storage
API 5L steel pipe shall be protected from shock, compression, cutting or any other mechanical damage during packing, transportation, storing and handling.

2.Safe Handling Practices
When you are working with carbon steel pipes, always take the usual safety precautions to avoid accidents such as explosions, fires, or getting exposed to toxic chemicals.

3.Service Condition
You should never use the API 5L carbon steel pipes in high temperature, media corrosive, or any other kinds of severe environment. For these applications, select pipes made of special grades which are resistant to high temperature or corrosion.

4.Material & Specification Selection
Decide on the pipe material and grade after carefully considering the operating conditions i.e. the nature of the environment, type of Medium, pressure and temperature and application, etc.

5.Pre-Use Inspection & Testing
Pope line Should be made inspection before usage to confirm the quality and performance.

Transportation: Express (Sample Delivery), Air, Rail, Land, Sea shipping (FCL or LCL or Bulk)

FAQ

Q1: Types of pipes available?
A: We deliver seamless (SMLS), ERW, LSAW and SSAW pipes for various pressure and pipeline applications.

Q2: Which surface finishing and coating can be choose?
A: Coatings are 3LPE, FBE, black painted or galvanized. There is also normal mill finish.

Q3: How to choose correct pipe grade?
A: Select the grade due to working pressure, temperature, medium type and surrounding conditions. If you need, our technical personnel will help you to choose the most suitable grade for your project.

Q4: What are your quality certificates?
A: All Pipes are Manufactured to API 5L specification and supplied with MTC (Mill Test Certificate). Pipes PSL2 are also subject to additional rigorous testing and inspections.

Q5: What is the lead time?
A: For standard stock products, lead time can be 7–20 days depending on size, quantity, and destination.
