API 5L Pipe

Product Introduction

API 5L Pipes are a type of steel pipes that adhere to the specifications outlined by the American Petroleum Institute (API). These pipes are designed for use in conveying gas, water, and oil in both the oil and natural gas industries. The "5L" in API 5L stands for "Line Pipe," indicating its primary application for transporting fluids and gases from one point to another.

Visual Inspection:Surface Inspection,Defect Detection ,Cosmetic Inspection.
Dimensional Inspection :Tolerance Verification,Calibration Check.
Chemical Analysis :Elemental Analysis ,Spectroscopic Analysis,Material Certification.
Mechanical Testing :Tensile Test,Yield Test,Hardness Test,Impact Test

Hydrostatic test

Pipe to withstand a hydrostatic test without leakage through the weld seam or the pipe body. Jointers need not be hydrostatic tested provide the pipe sections used were successfully tested.

Bend test

No cracks shall occur in any portion of the test piece and no opening of the weld shall occur.

Flattening test

Acceptance criteria for flattening test shall be:

EW Pipes D< 12.750 in:

X60 with T 500in. There shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 66% of the original outside diameter. for all grades and wall, 50%.

For pipe with a D/t 10, there shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 30% of the original outside diameter.
