API 5L X60 PSL-1 pipe is widely used in industry today. As demand for it from industry and others is growing rapidly, we as manufacturers are ramping up production. It is famous because it is made of specific materials such as carbon steel, seamless steel, alloy steel, etc. Furthermore, it is available in the online market in different wall thicknesses, outer or inner diameters, radii, delivery conditions, sizes, lengths, etc. It can also be customized in size and thickness. Product descriptions are fully compliant with international and national standard grades as well as standardized ISO.
What is API 5L X65 pipe?
API 5L X65 pipe has a high minimum tensile strength of 450 MPA. This makes it more powerful than the API 5L GR. X60 pipe. These pipes are extremely strong and durable, making them cost-effective in the long run and helping customers reduce lifetime replacement costs. API 5L X60 pipe has a significant minimum tensile strength of 450 MPA, exceeding the strength of API 5L GR and API 5CT . These pipes are extremely durable, providing long-term functionality and cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for frequent replacement. In addition, they are heat treated to increase mechanical strength and reduce hardness. With their excellent tensile strength, these pipes are ideally suited for drilling operations. They exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand high-pressure environments, making them ideal for the petroleum, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries.
Advantages of API Class 5L X60 Pipe
Not only is API Class 5L X60 pipe resistant to combustion and impact, it is also ideally suited for mining and drilling machinery applications. Due to their relatively low sulfur and phosphorus content, they have a high corrosion resistance to acids, especially hydrogen sulfide. These pipes are widely used in various industries such as chemical, fertilizer, sugar, paper, engineering and power generation. They have excellent corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand high temperature and pressure environments, making them particularly suitable for use in the petroleum, petrochemical, oil and gas industries. These pipes are used to transport gases, vapors and fluids. They are divided into two levels of differentiation: PSL-1 and PSL-2. PSL-1 pipe does not require impact and non-destructive testing as each grade has different requirements and material compositions.
They are also corrosion and impact resistant, making them ideal for use in mining and drilling rig pits. Due to the relatively low sulfur and phosphorus content of API 5L Grade Other applications include chemicals, fertilizers, sugar, paper, engineering, power generation, etc.
Corrosion resistance and use in high-pressure environments make these pipes ideal for the petroleum, petrochemical, oil and gas industry. It is used to transport gases, vapors and fluids. These pipes are classified into three grades: PSL-1 and PSL-2. PSL-1 pipe does not require impact and non-destructive testing. This is because the two grades have different requirements and even different material compositions.
Specification for API 5L X60 piping
API 5L X60 pipeline range includes PSL1, PSL2, onshore/offshore and sour services. PSL1 applies to the usual material delivery conditions R rolling. PSL2 is designated with the suffix letters N, Q, M, for example API 5L X60Q/M/N (where the acidic service is described as API 5L Check out the differences between PSL1 and PSL2 here.

Mechanical strength of API 5L X60 pipes
The performance of the API 5L X60 L415 is excellent. API 5L X60 L415 has a minimum tensile strength of 75,400 Psi 520 MPa and a minimum yield strength of 60,200 Psi 415 MPa. It can withstand the intense pressure found in oil and gas pipeline systems. The strength values of seamless steel line pipe and welded steel line pipe (including ERW, LSAW, SSAW) are the same. On the other hand, there is no difference in minimum intensity values between X60 PSL 1 and PSL 2, but PSL2 limits the maximum intensity value. According to API 5L 46th Edition 2018.

Chemical composition of API 5L X60 pipes
The chemical composition of API 5L X60 L415 pipe is similar to other grades of API 5L pipe. For PSL-1 pipes, the carbon content (C) must not exceed 0.26%, and the sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) contents are relatively low to ensure high corrosion resistance of the pipe. For the PSL-2 grade, the carbon content is lower, up to 0.12%, to increase toughness and corrosion resistance and ensure the pipe can handle corrosion in sour environments.
In PSL-1, the maximum composition limits include: C ≤ 0.26%, Si ≤ 0.45%, Mn ≤ 1.4%, P ≤ 0.030%, S ≤ 0.030%, Cu ≤ 0.50%, Ni ≤ 0.50%, Cr ≤ 0.50 %, Mo ≤ 0.15%, and the sum of Nb, V, Ti should be ≤ 0.06%. For PSL-2, the carbon content must not exceed 0.12%, the manganese content is kept below 1.4, the phosphorus content is 0.025%, the sulfur content is 0.015%, and the carbon equivalent (CEq) is strictly controlled to improve corrosion resistance.

Application areas of API 5L X60 pipes
API 5L X60 pipelines are widely used in oil and gas fields, petrochemical plants, power plants, construction machinery and other industries. It has high tensile strength, good corrosion resistance and stability in high-pressure environments, and is especially suitable for transporting oil, natural gas and other fluids that need to withstand harsh environments. In addition, it is favored in mining and drilling machinery applications due to its good impact and corrosion resistance.
In mining and drilling, API 5L X60 pipe serves as support pipe in pits, resisting corrosive liquids and high-pressure conditions. Its corrosion resistance is particularly suitable for environments containing hydrogen sulfide to prevent cracking caused by sulfide stress. X60 pipes also excel when transporting high-pressure fluids in the chemical, fertilizer, paper and other industries, with high safety and long-term cost-effectiveness.
