API 5L Line Pipe refers to a specification developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for the manufacturing of steel pipes used in oil and gas transportation systems. It sets the standards for the materials, dimensions, and mechanical properties of these pipes. API 5L Line Pipe is commonly used in the energy industry for conveying fluids such as oil, gas, and water over long distances. The specification covers various grades of steel pipes, including but not limited to API 5L Grade B, X42, X52, X65, etc., each with specific requirements for chemical composition, tensile strength, and impact toughness.
API 5L Psl1 Line Pipe covers seamless and welded carbon steel line pipe which suitable for use in conveying gas and oil industry.
