API 5L SSAW steel pipes are designed for long-distance transportation of media such as oil and gas. They are formed through the spiral process and welded using techniques like submerged arc welding (SAW), combining advantages of large diameters, long-distance capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. The standards are categorized into PSL1 and PSL2 based on product specification levels: PSL1 covers general-purpose applications, while PSL2 imposes stricter requirements on chemical composition, toughness, non-destructive testing, and uniformity control, making it suitable for higher-demand operating conditions. The steel grade system ranges from GR.B/L245 to X100, with commonly used grades in engineering including X42, X52, X60, X65, X70, and X80. Notably, designations like L245M indicate thermomechanical controlled processing (TMCP) steel, which offers superior low-temperature toughness and weldability. Engineering specifications often reference both domestic and international standards such as GB/T 9711 and SY/T 5037 to facilitate alignment with international projects
