API 5L Pipe Standard Scope

In API SPEC 5L 46th Edition, it is defined the scope as:”Requirements for the manufacture of two product specification level (PSL1 and PSL2) of seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. This standard is not applicable to cast pipe.”In a word, API 5L pipe is the carbon steel pipe applied to the oil and gas transmission system. Meanwhile other fluids like steam, water, slurry also could adopt the API 5L standard for the transmission purposes.

API 5L steel line pipe adopts different steel grades, generally are Gr. B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80. Some manufacturers are capable of manufacturing steel grade up to X100 and X120. As the steel line pipe grades higher, more strictly control on the carbon equivalent control, and higher mechanical strength performances.

More over, for the same grade API 5L pipe, seamless and welded chemical elements content is different, which welded pipe is required more strictly and lower on Carbon and Sulfur.

By different delivery condition, there are also As-rolled, normalizing rolled, thermomechanical rolled, normalizing formed, normalized, normalized and tempered, quenched and tempered.
