    API 5L Pipe, Check Line Pipe Dimensions, Specifications, and Size Chart before buying Seamless API 5L Pipe from Supplier in India.

    Solitaire Steel is a top supplier of API 5L pipes, which include both seamless and welded steel pipes primarily used in the petroleum and natural gas industries. These pipes are ideal for transporting various liquids and gas and come in a wide range of sizes. Recognized as one of the leading API 5L pipe suppliers in India, we are known for delivering products with exceptional quality and precise dimensions. This is achieved by utilizing top-grade raw materials and the latest technology. We produce API 5L ERW pipes in two levels—PSL1 and PSL2—suitable for sour service and offshore applications.

    The API 5L seamless pipes are essential for constructing pipelines and differ from casing and tubing. We maintain a large stock of products from leading API 5L pipe manufacturers in India, ensuring compliance with all industry standards. By using premium raw materials, our API 5L seamless pipes are guaranteed to be of high quality. Additionally, our API 5L welded pipes are noted for their dimensional precision. We offer full customization of API 5L line pipes in terms of dimensions, shapes, and finishes. Clients can reach out to us directly with their specific requirements, and our experienced team is ready to assist.

    The API 5L Schedule 40 pipe offers unique features that distinguish it from materials in other specifications. With a minimum yield strength of 485 MPa, the API 5L carbon steel pipe is composed primarily of carbon and manganese, along with 0.15% of Nb, V, and Ti. The API 5L PSL1 HIC pipeline’s composition enhances its weldability, making it a superior choice for various applications.

    What is API 5L Pipe?

    The API 5L specification sets the standards for pipes that are widely used in industries like oil and natural gas, particularly for transporting fluids such as water, oil, steam, and gas. The pipes produced under this specification, including API 5L ERW and seamless pipes, are known for their suitability for these types of applications. The specification covers both seamless and welded steel line pipes.

    To protect these pipes from corrosion, a common finish used is Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) coating. This coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice in pipeline construction. Within the API 5L standard, there are two levels: PSL1 and PSL2. While PSL1 pipes meet the basic requirements, PSL2 pipes undergo more stringent quality checks and must meet stricter chemical and mechanical specifications. This makes PSL2 pipes of higher quality compared to PSL1.

    If you need high-quality API 5L pipes that are durable and reliable, Solitaire Steel is a leading supplier and exporter in India. We offer FBE-coated API pipelines at competitive prices and ensure that our products meet all required standards.

    FAQs

    API 5L is a standard by the American Petroleum Institute for line pipe, specifying requirements for seamless and welded steel pipes in two product levels (PSL1 and PSL2) used in the global petroleum industry for transporting fluids.
    API 5L Grade B pipe is commonly used in oil and gas pipelines and is equivalent to ASTM A106 Grade B or ASTM A53 Grade B. These equivalents have similar chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and applications.

    For API 5L pipes, the tensile strength varies by grade:

    For grades up to L320 (X46): ≤ 655 MPa (95,000 psi)

    For grades greater than L320 (X46) but less than L555 (X80): ≤ 760 MPa (110,200 psi)
