What is X70 grade pipe?
API 5L X70 pipe is a premium grade piping material in API 5L standard specifications. Also called L485 pipe, as it’s yield strength minimum in 485 Mpa (70,300 psi). API 5L X70 covers manufacturing types in seamless and welded (ERW, SAW) types, both applied for oil and gas transmissions.
What is API 5L X70 PSL2 specification?
The API 5l Grade X70 Psl2 has diameters up to 23 inches for the seamless pipes and 48 inches for welded pipes. The pipes have good strength and corrosion resistance. The Tubo API 5l Gr X70 minimum yield strength is 485MPa and the minimum tensile strength is 570MPa minimum.
What is API 5L specification?
API Spec 5L is an International Standard that specifies requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2) of seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
What does X70 mean?
Grade X70 means 70000 PSI minimum yield strength and 82000 PSI minimum ultimate tensile strength.
What is API 5L X60?
API 5L X60 is a common high grade pipe material in API 5L specifciations for oil and gas transmissions. It’s also called L415 pipe, which named by yield strength minimum in 415 Mpa (60,200 psi). It covers manufacturing types in seamless (hot rolled and colde rolled), and welded in ERW, LSAW, SSAW (HSAW).
What is the difference between PSL1 and PSL2 pipes?
PSL-1 is a loose standard quality for line pipe, whereas PSL-2 contains additional testing requirement, stricter chemical physicals, along with different ceiling limits of mechanical properties, and require Charpy impact testing conditions.
