What’s the API 5L Grade B seamless pipe?
One of the most common pipe grades used in oil and gas transmission is API 5L Grade B specification.
The API 5L Grade B Pipe is also known as L245 Pipes, and they come with a minimum yield strength of 245MPa. The API 5L Grade B Pipe is similar to ASTM A106 B or ASTM A53 B material in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, and applications. We are one of the top API 5L Grade B ERW Pipe suppliers in India, who manufacture high-quality API 5L Gr B Pipe to cater to the requirements of our esteemed clients. Our API 5L Grade B Seamless Pipe is widely used in onshore and offshore pipelines. Apart from the seamless variant, we also manufacture API 5L Grade B Welded Pipe.
We focus on manufacturing the best API 5L Grade B ERW Pipe for our clients, and thus we ensure to use the best quality API 5L Gr B material. The material is quite durable and has high mechanical strength. It means that the API 5L Grade B PSL2 High Yield Pipe manufactured from it possesses longevity and can last many years to come.
The API 5L Grade B material is commonly used in the pipeline industries that deal with constructions or liquid/gas transmission.
The API 5L Grb HIC Pipeline is available in two product levels PSL1 and PSL2, and each of them has individual applications. The chemical composition of API 5L Grade B PSL2 High Yield Pipe adds to its unique mechanical properties.
The presence of chromium in API 5L Gr B Nace Pipe helps in increasing its wear resistance,
which means that the API 5L Gr B PSL1 LSAW Pipe is quite durable. Similarly, the API 5L Gr B PSL2 DSAW Pipe‘s molybdenum content makes it resistant to high-temperature creep. We have a vast stock of the API5LB Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe, and we offer complete customization. Clients can let us know their requirements when placing orders.
The outer diameter of the API 5L Grade B Pipe Line ranges between ½” to 48″. But as mentioned earlier, they can be customized on demand. The API 5L Grade B schedule 40 Pipeline we manufacture is high in quality and dimensionally accurate. Experienced staff and state-of-the-art technology help us to make the best products of the given specification in town. Clients will get API5LB Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe at a very competitive price from us.
CS API 5L Gr B Line Pipe manufacturing takes place through hot rolling or cold drawing procedures.
We ensure to follow all the industrial standards given during the manufacturing process of API 5L Gr B Carbon Steel Line Pipe.
We offer a wide range of API 5L Grade B Carbon Steel Pipe available in different schedules and finishes. Having a huge inventory of all the products helps us to give faster delivery. We ship Carbon Steel API 5L Gr B Sour Service Pipe worldwide following the standard procedures.
