API 5L Specification Covers Steel pipe for pipeline transportation systems in Oil, Natural Gas and Petroleum Industries. API 5L main Purpose is to provide standards for pipe suitable for conveying gas, oil and water.
API 5L Cover BothSeamless and Welded Pipes . It includes plain-end, threaded-end, and belled-end pipe, as well as through-the-flowline (TFL) pipe, and pipe with ends prepared for use with special couplings.
This International Standard specifies requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2) of Seamless and Welded steel Pipes
This International Standard is the result of harmonizing the requirements of the following standards:
API Spec 5L;
ISO 3183-1:1996;
ISO 3183-2:1996;
ISO 3183-3:1999.
In the preparation of this second edition of ISO 3183, the technical committee recognized that there are two basic levels of standard technical requirements for line pipe and, therefore, agreed to establish requirements for two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2). Level PSL 1 provides a standard quality level for line pipe. Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory requirements for chemical composition, notch toughness and strength properties and additional NDE. Requirements that apply to only PSL 1 or to only PSL 2 are so designated. Requirements that are not designated to a specific PSL designation apply to both PSL 1 and PSL 2. A table comparing this edition of ISO 3183 with the with the predecessor International Standard ISO 3183 (all parts) and API Spec 5L and used in the harmonization of these documents is given for information in Annex M. Pipe manufactured to ASTM106 Grade A or B are not interchangable with API 5L. Requirements to API 5L X grades are more stringent; rolled grades are not acceptable and rework is not allowed. Moreover, particular attention is given to toughness and toughness tests for sour services and higher pressure & temperature classes.
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.
Savoy Piping Inc Supply stocks a full range of API 5L X Grades PSL-1 & PSL-2 line pipe in Seamless and Welded.
