What’s The Difference Between API X42 And X52 Pipe?

The grades covered by the API 5L standard are A, B and "X" grades (eg X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80, etc.). Of these, API 5L X42 is the most commonly used carbon steel pipe grade in fabrication, processing and construction applications. API 5L X52 steel is a steel grade commonly used in the petroleum industry, it is a higher strength steel grade than X42 and is often used in high pressure applications. X42 and X52 pipes are widely used in oil and gas industries. Each grade of API 5L X42 line pipe and API 5L X52 line pipe (seamless and welded) has two product specifications, PSL1 and PSL2. This article will talk about the differences between them.
