Line pipe is one type of pipeline which widely used for onshore gathering lines, long-distance transmission pipelines and subsea flowlines in oil & gas industry.
Standard in accordance with: API 5L
I. Core Basic Functions
1.1 Long-distance Fluid Transportation
1.2 Pressure Bearing & Structural Protection
1.3 Environmental Isolation & Safety Control
1.4 Pipeline Connection & Assembly
Product Types
API 5L covers two main categories: seamless line pipes and welded line pipes. Multiple end configurations including plain ends, beveled ends and threaded ends are available, and customized end machining can be provided as required. (ERW line pipe is notour scope of supply and we mainly provided Seamless pipes for line pipe)
Quality Levels
Two product specification levels are defined: PSL 1 for general service and conventional working conditions; PSL 2 features stricter control over chemical composition, strength and low-temperature impact toughness with additional mandatory inspections, designed for demanding applications such as low-temperature environments, sour service and subsea projects.
Common Steel Grades
Main steel grades include GR.B, X42, X46, X52, X60, X65, X70 and X80. The figures indicate the specified minimum yield strength. Grades with higher strength are applied to low-pressure branch lines,
