API 5L Seamless Line Pipe
API 5L is a relatively comprehensive specification,mainly developing line pipes for the oil and gas industry;the range of strength levels is much wider.While the lower strength grades A & B are comparable to ASTM A106,the strength of other grades are much higher (e.g. X42, X56, X60, etc.).In addition,the quality rating is more stringent when API 5L line pipe PSL2 is applied,the rolling rating is not acceptable and rework is not allowed.Moreover, particular attention is given to toughness and toughness tests for sour services and higher pressure/ temperature classes.

Common Applications of the High Yield Carbon Steel Pipe
Worldwide Pipe & Supplys high yield carbon steel pipe is commonly known for transporting water, oil, and gas. API 5L Line Pipe Specifications for these pipes regulate usage for standard Grade A and Grade B pipes, with Grade X indicating stronger variants for drilling, production, and transport requirements for offshore, arctic, deep well, or harsher environments.
Value-Added Services
Worldwide Pipe offers a range of value-added services such as threading, fabricating, coating, and logistics to help tailor products to your unique project specifications. Some of the common services we provide for our high yield carbon steel pipe includes:
- Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE)
- Abrasion Resistant Overlay (ARO)
- 3LPE Coating
- Tar Epoxy
The abrasion-resistant overlay is applied to the pipes to provide a layer of protection and provide corrosion control. Fusion Bond Epoxy, or FBE systems, are applied to pipes to enhance the flow characteristics of gas or oil flowing through a pipe or pipeline system. 3LPE coating is a 3-layer coating that is applied to pipes in order to prevent chemical and corrosion damage. Layer 1 consists of FBE, layer 2 is a copolymer adhesive, and layer 3 is made up of a layer of polyethylene. The tar epoxy coating service is applied to pipes to protect against severe abrasion.
