What is API 5L X70, and what does it mean?
API 5L X70 pipe is a high-quality pipeline material that meets API 5L requirements. It is also known as L485 pipe because the minimum yield strength is 485 Mpa. API 5L X70 covers both seamless and welded manufacturing types for oil and gas transmissions. API Spec 5L sets specifications for the fabrication of seamless and welded steel pipes in two product specification levels for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas sectors. What is API 5L X70 used for? In the petroleum, gas, and water distribution industries, the API 5L specification includes pipes for conveying oil, gas, and water. The current edition of the API 5L standard can be found on the API website. API 5L pipes come in sizes ranging from 2 to 28 inches in seamless execution and up to 80 inches in welded performance generally, LSAW, i.e., longitudinal submerged arc welding. The dimensions and weights of API 5L and ASME B36.10 pipes are identical. Do you know about Al...
