What is API 5lx?

What is API 5lx?

API 5L X52 pipe also called L360 Pipe, X52 (L360) named by minimum yield strength 52 Ksi (360 Mpa). It’s a medium grade in API 5L and ISO 3183 specifications, used for oil and gas pipeline transmissions.

What is API 5L Gr X60?

API 5L X60 is a common high grade pipe material in API 5L specifciations for oil and gas transmissions. It’s also called L415 pipe, which named by yield strength minimum in 415 Mpa (60,200 psi). It covers manufacturing types in seamless (hot rolled and colde rolled), and welded in ERW, LSAW, SSAW (HSAW).

What grade is X52 pipe?

API 5L X52 is a steel grade of API 5L which specifies the manufacture of two product levels (PSL1 and PSL2) line pipe, X52 Line Pipe can be made seamless or welded, which are widely used as pipeline in the transportation of petroleum and natural gas.

What is the difference between API 5L and A53?

ASTM A53 is standard specification for pipe, steel, black and hot-dipped, zinc-coated, welded and seamless. API 5L is specification for line pipe. APPLICATION: A 53 is a general steel pipe spec which covers galvanized pipe and black pipe.

What is difference between psl1 and psl2?

PSL-1 is a loose standard quality for line pipe, whereas PSL-2 contains additional testing requirement, stricter chemical physicals, along with different ceiling limits of mechanical properties, and require Charpy impact testing conditions.

What is API 5L Gr B?

API 5L Grade B pipe is a common grade pipe for oil and gas pipeline transmissions. It also called L245 Pipe refer ISO 3183, named by minimum yield strength 245 Mpa (355,000 Psi). Equivalent material ASTM A106 B or ASTM A53 B, which have similar value on chemical composition, mechanical properties, and applications.

What is the difference between API and ASTM?

API 5L is normally used for both seamless steel pipes and welded steel pipes,but ASTM A106 is specially for seamless carbon steel pipes which can be used for high-temperature and high-pressures service.
