API Standard Specification for Line Pipe
The American Petroleum Institute specification API 5L addresses seamless and welded steel line pipe for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. API x52 is suitable for conveying gas, water, and oil. Specifications for API 5l B adhere to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 3183, standardizing pipeline transportation systems within the materials, equipment, and offshore structures for natural gas, petroleum, and petrochemical industries. When authoring the standards, the technical committee recognized that there are two basic Product Specifications Levels (PSL) of technical requirements and therefore developed PSL 1 and PSL 2. PSL 1 is a standard quality for line pipe whereas PSL 2 contains additional chemical, mechanical properties, and testing requirements. API 5l Grades covered by this specification are A25 ,A ,B (and the following "X" Grades), X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80. The two-digit number following the "X" indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000's psi) of pipe produced to this grade. All products are industry-standard conforming to or exceeding API, ASTM, ASME, ANSI and other national and international standards.API 5L X52 PSL1 Pipe Dimensional Range & Standard Specification
