This API 5L specification Covers Seamless and Welded Steel and Steel Seamless PipeLine. 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 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
Sulfide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSC) is a form of hydrogen embrittlement cracking which occurs when a susceptible material is exposed to a corrosive environment containing water and H2S at a critical level of applied or residual tensile stress. TCR Engineering Services in Mumbai, India conducts the NACE TM0177 tests including Methods A and B for SSCC test, at our corrosion testing laboratory.
NACE TM0177 specifies Solution A (acidified), Solution B (acidified and buffered) and Solution C (for martensitic Stainless Steel). Solution A is used in Methods A unless the properties of Solution B or C are specified. In any case, H2S is bubbled through the solution constantly throughout the test period.Testing is performed in NACE solutions A and/or B, saturated with H2S at 24º and 90º Celsius. Stressed samples are exposed to sour environment for a pre-determined time, after which they are removed and analyzed for crack detection. NACE TM0177 specifies test duration of 30 days (720 hours) for Method A or B test.
The SSCC tests are performed routinely for customers using tensile and bent beam specimens. for each stress level and temperature, the following sample sze is required:

H.4.5 SSC test After removal of the SSC test specimens (see H.7.3.2) from the test medium, the specimen surface previously under tension shall be examined under a low-power microscope at X10 magnification. The occurrence of any surface breaking fissures or cracks on the tension surface of the test specimen shall constitute failure of the specimen unless it can be demonstrated that these are not the result of sulfide stress cracking.
