This API 5L Specification Covers Seamless and Welded Steel Line Pipe. It includes standard-weight and Extra-Strong threaded Line Pipe. It includes standard-weight and extra-strong threaded line pipe; and standard-weight plain-end, regular-weight plain-end, special plain-end, extra-strong plain-end, special plain-end, extra-strong plain-end pipe; as as well as bell and spigot and through-the-flow line(TFL) pipe.

The purpose of this specification is to provide standards for pipe suitable for use in conveying gas, water, and oil in both the oil and natural gas industries

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

API 5L Seamless Pipe Carbon Steel Pipe can be Structural in Nature or used in Fluid, Gas, Oil Transmission.

We Supply API 5L Line Pipe in API 5L Grade B PSL1, API 5L Grade B PSL2, API 5L X42 PSL1, API 5L X42 PSL2, API 5L X46 PSL1, API 5L X46 PSL2, API 5L X52 PSL1, API 5L X52 PSL2, API 5L X56 PSL1, API 5L X56 PSL2, API 5L X60 PSL1, API 5L X60 PSL2, API 5L X65 PSL1, API 5L X65 PSL2 , API 5L X70 PSL1, API 5L X70 PSL2 . The grade indicates the testing methods required for a given application. It is critical that structural grades of Carbon Steel Pipe not be used for Pressure or Fluid applications.

API 5L Line Pipe can be either seamless or welded. Applications for API 5L include, but are not limited to: petroleum, petrochemical, natural gas industries, and waterworks.

API 5L Line Pipe is dimensionally equivalent to A106 and A53 pipe, conforming to industry standard sizes, however it performs to different mechanical properties. One key defining characteristic of this pipe is its yield strength, where the two digit number following the pipe’s "X" grade indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000's psi) of pipe produced to this grade (i.e. X52 Pipe). 

Savoy Piping Inc., is a Pipe Distributor in Middle East, Far East and Africa Region that provides API 5L line pipe from 1/2" to 64" in diameter, in grades X42, X46, X52, X60, X65, & X70.

Hydrostatic test

Pipe to withstand a hydrostatic test without leakage through the weld seam or the pipe body. Jointers need not be hydrostatic tested provide the pipe sections used were successfully tested.

Bend test

No cracks shall occur in any portion of the test piece and no opening of the weld shall occur.

Flattening test

Acceptance criteria for flattening test shall be:

  • EW Pipes D< 12.750 in:
  • X60 with T 500in. There shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 66% of the original outside diameter. for all grades and wall, 50%.
  • For pipe with a D/t > 10, there shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 30% of the original outside diameter.
  • For other sizes refer to the full API 5L specification.

CVN impact test for PSL2

Many PSL2 pipe sizes and grades require CVN. Seamless Pipe is to be tested in the body. Welded pipe is to be tested in the body, pipe weld and heat-affected zone. Refer to the full API 5L specification for the chart of sizes and grades and required absorbed energy values.
