X70 PSL2 Seamless Line Pipe

ISO 3183 L485 PSL2 — petroleum and natural gas pipeline transportation pipe


API 5L X70 PSL2 seamless line pipe ISO 3183 L485

Savoy Piping Inc. supplies API 5L X70 PSL2 seamless line pipe for oil and gas pipeline transportation systems — commonly mapped to ISO 3183 L485.

Order by grade + PSL + product form, OD/wall, ends, delivery condition (R/N/Q/M for PSL2) and the full test / annex package.

Typical strength guide: yield min ~70 ksi (485 MPa), tensile min ~82 ksi (565 MPa). PSL2 packages typically add tighter chemistry, toughness (CVN) and more NDE/documentation than PSL1.

What is API 5L X70 PSL2?

API 5L covers seamless and welded steel line pipe for pipeline transportation systems. X70 is defined by minimum yield strength (~70 ksi). PSL2 sets the product specification level — chemistry, toughness and testing depth differ between PSL1 and PSL2.

Typical applications

  • Oil and gas transmission / trunk pipelines
  • Onshore and offshore pipeline packages specifying API 5L X70
  • PSL2 projects needing CVN toughness and tighter documentation
  • Dual-certified API 5L / ISO 3183 L485 supply (project-dependent)
  • Optional sour-service / HIC / SSC routes when the PO requires them

How to order X70 PSL2

State API 5L edition, grade X70, PSL2, seamless, OD/wall, ends, coating, delivery condition and MTC level (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2). For sour service, call out NACE / HIC / SSC annexes explicitly.

Frequently asked questions — API 5L X70 PSL2

What is API 5L X70 PSL2 seamless pipe used for?

API 5L X70 PSL2 seamless line pipe is used for petroleum and natural gas pipeline transportation systems — oil, gas and related transmission lines ordered to API 5L (often dual-mapped to ISO 3183 L485).

What does the X70 grade number mean?

The digits after X are the minimum yield strength in ksi × 1000. X70 means about 70 ksi (485 MPa) minimum yield. Typical tensile minimum is about 82 ksi (565 MPa) — confirm against the ordered edition and PSL tables.

PSL1 vs PSL2 for X70 — which should I order?

PSL2 adds tighter chemistry, mandatory toughness and more testing/documentation than PSL1. If the datasheet says PSL2, do not supply a PSL1 commercial substitute.

Seamless or welded for API 5L X70?

Seamless is preferred for many smaller OD / high-integrity packages. Large diameters often move to LSAW/DSAW/HSAW welded pipe — follow the approved construction on the PO.
