API 5L Grade B PSL2 Seamless Pipe,API 5L Gr. B Seamless Pipe PSL 2
API 5L Grade B PSL1 Seamless Pipe,API 5L Gr. B Seamless Pipe PSL1
API 5L Specifications covers seamless and welded pipe suitable for use in conveying gas, water, oil, and other liquefied media.
Grade designations of API 5L Line pipe offered by Trupply come from the American Petroleum Institute (API) Spec 5L Specification for line pipe. Trupply currently carries 9 grades of API 5L line pipe:
API 5L B API 5L X42 API 5L X46 API 5L X52 API 5L X56 API 5L X60 API 5L X65 API 5L X70 API 5L X80,
API 5L Grade B is one of the most common grade in API 5L line pipes.
Grade:API 5L GR.B
3) Outside Diameter:1/2″-36″
4) Wall Thinkness:SCH10–SCHXXS.
Length:2m-12m or according to the clients’ request

API 5L has 2 types of material grade,PSL1 & PSL2, Difference between PSL1 and PSL2 pipes are as follows;
- Chemical Properties
- Mechanical Properties
- Manufacturing Methods
- Inspection and Defect Repair
- Certification & Traceability
PSL1 & PSL2 Pipe Chemical Properties
| PARAMETER | PSL1 | PSL2 |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry: Max C for Seamless pipe | 0.28% for grades ≥ B | 0.0024 |
| Chemistry: Max C for Welded pipe | 0.26% for grades ≥ B | 0.0022 |
| Chemistry: Max P | 0.03% for grades ≥ A | 0.0003 |
| Chemistry: Max S | 0.0003 | 0.0002 |
| Carbon equivalent: | Only when purchaser specifies SR18 | Maximum required for each grade |
Mechanical Properties
| PARAMETER | PSL1 | PSL2 |
|---|---|---|
| Yield strength, maximum | None | Maximum for each grade |
| UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) maximum | None | Maximum for each grade |
| Fracture toughness | None required | Required for all grades |
For PSL2 pipe there is a limit on Maximum Yield & Ultimate Tensile Strength whereas for PSL1 pipe meeting the minimum requirements are sufficient. The second requirement that is mandatory for PSL2 pipe is Fracture toughness which is not required for the PSL1 pipe.

a — Pipe end includes a length of 100 mm (4.0 in) for each side
b — For SMLS pipe, the tolerances apply for 25.0 mm (0.984 in); tolerances for thicker pipes have to be as agreed.
c — For pipe with D219,1 mm (8.625 in) the diameter tolerance and the out-of-roundness tolerance may be determined by using the calculated inside diameter (the specified outside diameter minus two times the specified wall thickness) or measured inside diameter rather than the specified outside diameter
d — Included in the tolerance of the diameter
