Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between API 5L PSL1 and PSL2?

PSL1 is the standard product specification level, while PSL2 has more stringent requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, and mandatory testing to ensure higher reliability in critical applications.

Q: Which surface treatment is best for corrosive environments?

For highly corrosive environments, we recommend 3PE (Three-Layer Polyethylene) or FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) coatings, as they provide a superior moisture barrier and chemical resistance.

Q: Can you provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for these pipes?

Yes, every shipment of our API 5L seamless steel pipes comes with a comprehensive Mill Test Certificate verifying the chemical analysis and mechanical properties.

Q: What are the available diameter ranges for the seamless steel pipes?

We offer a wide range of outside diameters from 1/2" up to 24", covering most industrial requirements for oil and gas pipelines.

Q: How are the pipe ends finished for installation?

Pipes with an OD of 2" and above are typically provided with beveled ends for welding, while pipes smaller than 2" are provided with plain ends.

Q: Are these pipes suitable for high-pressure natural gas transport?

Absolutely. Our X42, X52, and X60 grades are specifically designed to withstand high internal pressures common in natural gas and petroleum transmission.
