What does X60 pipe mean?

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 is X60 steel?

The L415 pipe (Grade X60 Pipe) is made from carbon-based steel alloy. The alloy used to make carbon steel Api 5l X60 Pipe Suppliers consists of manganese, phosphorus, sulphur, titanium, vanadium and niobium. Acero API 5L X60 has two levels of pipes – the L415 PSL1 & the L415 PSL2.

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 line pipe?

API 5L Specifications covers seamless and welded pipe suitable for use in conveying gas, water, oil, and other liquefied media. Grade designations of API 5L Line pipe offered by Trupply come from the American Petroleum Institute (API) Spec 5L Specification for line pipe.

What is API pipe stand for?

The American Petroleum Institute specification API 5L covers seamless and welded steel line pipe. This is steel pipe for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. API 5L is suitable for conveying gas, water, and oil.

What is X42 pipe?

API 5L X42 pipe also called L290 pipe (by ISO 3183), named by minimum yield strength 42100 Psi or 290 Mpa. It’s a higher grade than Grade B where API 5L has various grades up to X100, so x42 pipe is an low-medium level, and it requires large quantities in most of pipelines for oil and gas transmissions.

What is API pipe specification?

API Line Pipes API 5L is a specification of API which defines the standard for the dimension, physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the steel. Several pipe mills around the globe manufacture the API 5L pipes for Oil and Gas industry.

What grade is X52 pipe?

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 PSL pipeline?

PSL stands for Product Specification Levels. PSL stands for Product Specification Levels. Pipes are used in different types of environments such as corrosive and non-corrosive. Pipes used in the severe corrosive environments required material that can withstand such process conditions.

What is API in pipe?

API Line Pipes API Line Pipe is steel pipe used for the transmission of Oil, Gas and Petroleum Distillates. Line pipes makes the pipeline and is different from casing and tubing. Line Pipes are manufactured as per specifications established by American Petroleum Institute (API).

What is the difference between X42 and X52 pipe?

denote the minimum yield strength of the pipe steel. The steel pipe grade X42 has the minimum yield strength of 42 kilopound/square inch and X52 has 52,000 ksi.

What is API 5B?

API 5B specifies the thread element gauges, instruments, and requirements for API thread inspection. It also governs the dimensions, tolerances, and marking requirements for all API threads, including threads on Line Pipe, Round Thread Casing, Round Thread Tubing, and Buttress Casing connections.

What are the API 5L X60 pipe specifications?

It covers manufacturing types in seamless (hot rolled and colde rolled), and welded in ERW, LSAW, SSAW (HSAW). API 5L X60 pipe ranges in PSL1, PSL2, onshore/offshore, and sour service. PSL1 is for common use material delivery conditions R As Rolled. PSL2 is strict and higher than PSL1 on chemicals, mechanical properties and test requirements.

What are the grades of API steel pipe?

Grades covered by this specification are A25, A, B and “X” Grades X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80. The two digit number following the “X” indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000’s psi) of pipe produced to this grade.

What should wall thickness be for API 5L pipe?

For pipe with D≥ 14.000 in and t≥0.984in, the wall thickness tolerance locally may exceed the plus tolerance for wall thickness by an additional 0.05t provided that the plus tolerance for mass is not exceeded. c. The plus tolerance for wall thickens does not apply to the weld area d. See the full API5L spec for full details
