As energy infrastructure expands into more challenging environments, the need for high-strength, reliable pipeline materials continues to grow. Among the advanced steel grades available today, API 5L PSL2 X80Q line pipe stands out as a top choice for high-pressure, long-distance oil and gas transmission systems.
Engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of PSL2 (Product Specification Level 2), X80Q offers superior tensile strength, excellent toughness, and enhanced resistance to deformation and corrosion. These attributes make it particularly well-suited for complex terrains, harsh climates, and demanding operational conditions found in modern pipeline projects.

As agreed upon
|
a. The pipeline has 4 lengths in ate on each side
|
b. For SMLS pipe applies tolerance for t≤0.984in and tolerance for the thicker pipe should be as it is composed
|
c. For enlarged pipes with D8.82525 and for unnecessary pipes, endurance resistance and tolerant resistance can be determined by calculating internal diameter or measured interior diameter rather than specified OD.
|
d. In order to determine the diameter of diameter, the pipe diameter is defined as the circumference of the pipe in each traffic plan that is divided by PI.

a. If the purchase order specifies the minus tolerance for the thickness of the thickness of less than the value laid down in this tablet, the tolerance for wall thickness should be increased by maintaining the current tolerance period.
|
b. For pipes with D≥ 14,000 in and T≥0.984in, the wall resistance load can localize the additional tolerance resistance for wall thickness with an additional 0.05 t provided that increased tolerance for mass is not exceeded.
|
c. Increased stamina for wall concentrate does not apply to the welding section
|
d. See the full API5L preview to get detailed information
