Metal Tubular Products the specification from the American Petroleum Institute Steel line pipe that is welded and seamless is covered by API 5L X70 PSL2 pipe.This is steel pipe used in the petroleum and natural gas sectors for pipeline transportation systems. For moving gas, water, and oil, use API 5L. Only the capabilities of the manufacturer limit the size range.
PSL 1 and PSL 2 were created by the technical committee that wrote the standards after recognizing that there are two fundamental Product Specifications Levels (PSL) of technical requirements. PSL 2 has additional chemical, mechanical, and testing standards while PSL 1 is a standard quality for line pipe. A25, A, B (and the following "X" Grades), X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80 are the grades that fall under this specification. Following the "X" is a two-digit number that represents the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000 psi) of pipe manufactured to this grade.
