FAQ
API 5L Line Pipes FAQs
Cannot find your answer? Our team will help with grade, size and standard selection.
Ask usWhat is the difference between PSL 1 and PSL 2?
PSL 2 has stricter requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, toughness and non destructive testing than PSL 1. It is normally specified for critical or low temperature pipelines.
Can API 5L pipe be used for sour service?
Sour service needs additional requirements described in the API 5L annex for sour service. Please tell us if your project needs it so we can confirm what is available.
What lengths are available?
Pipes are normally supplied in random lengths, with double random and fixed lengths on request.
