HEUBACH INTERNATIONAL is exclusively engaged in stocking and manufacturing API 5L X46 Pipe with certifications confirming to EN 10204- 3.1/3.2. Line pipe is available in sizes ranging from 0.500 to 100 inches and can be produced by seamless, ERW, SAWL and SAWH methods according to API Spec 5L, CSA, DIN EN, BS EN and DNV standards. To check the api5l pipe specification please check below table. Grade X65 PSL2 pipes are available in seamless and welded types, commercially known as API 5L line pipes. The technical committee authoring the standards recognized that there are two basic Product Specifications Levels (PSL) of technical requirements and therefore developed PSL 1 and PSL 2. PSL 1 is a standard quality for line pipe where PSL 2 contains additional chemical, mechanical properties, and testing requirements.
Grades covered by this specification are A25 ,A ,B (and the following "X" Grades), X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80. The two digit number following the "X" indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000's psi) of pipe produced to this grade.
API 5L X46 Pipe Specification
API 5L X46 Pipe are carbon steel pipes, strictly manufactured as per API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE) to meet the clients requirements. API 5L X46 Pipe are provided with multiple end connections like non-Upset ends and External Upset Ends. Aesteiron Steel Pipes provides these api pipes with all mandatory non-destructive testing inclusive of eddy current tests, hydro testing. We offer API 5L pipes with both galvanized and black finish in single random length i.e 4-7 metres and double random lengths i.e 7-13 metres. In General these api pipes are used to transit oil, gas and petroleum distilleries. Among all API x series pipe x52 is the most selling API grade.
We are manufacturers, stockists & suppliers of API 5L X46 Pipe, This is steel pipe for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. API 5L Grade B Seamless & Welded Line pipe is used mainly in Oil & Gas industry where they need to setup very long pipeline but in API line pipe there are so many grades like API 5L A25 (and the following "X" Grades), X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80 PSL-1, PSL-2.
Each grade of API 5L having unique properties, Yield strength, Tensile strength, & hardness. Different grades used in different atmosphere depends upon temperature, pressure & climatically conditions. But as of now there is no website providing comparisons of all grades of API line pipes in a single window. HEUBACH INTERNATIONAL is come up first time an online platform where project consultants & engineers get differences & comparison between 3-4 grades of API 5l Gr.B Pipe in a single window. It will help a lot to choose right API Line pipe with appropriate grade with best price.

At HEUBACH INTERNATIONAL the API 5L X46 pipes supplied by us have a longer service life and are well suited for use in several applications in various demanding applications. Because of the FBE coating done to surface treat the API 5L X46 Erw Pipe they have good resistance to corrosion along with a higher tensile strength, thereby making them a very popular choice of pipes amongst our client list. The addition of both molybdenum as well as chromium to these API 5L X46 PSL1 pipes, ensures that they inherit several properties i.e. resistance to corrosion and higher tensile strength, being the two key features of these pipes, supplied by us. Our client list for the FBE Coated L320 Pipe include key sectors such as petrochemicals, oil and natural gas along with the petroleum industry as well. We source the highest quality raw materials in order to produce the API 5L X46 Equivalent pipes. This is one reason why our clients prefer using the API 5L X46 Pipe across several applications where they are used in the conveyance of fluid or gas from off-shore sites to refineries. When used in sour wells, the X46 Grade Pipe stocked in our inventory has the ability to not only demonstrate good resistance to general corrosion but against sulphide related stress cracking. This is true for especially API 5L X46 PSL2 pipes because our quality control team checks these pipes. But PSL 2 specified API 5L Gr X46 pipes, supplied by our company is known to adhere very strictly to not only the quality requirements, but also the chemical and mechanical requirements as well
ANSI / API 5L specifies the manufacture of two product levels (PSL1 and PSL2) of seamless and welded steel pipe for the use of a pipeline in the transportation of petroleum and natural gas. For material use in a sour service application, refer to Annex H; for offshore service application, refer to Annex J of API 5L 45th Edition.
Ingots, blooms, billets, coils or plates used for the manufacture of pipe shall be made via basic oxygen, electric furnace or open hearth in combination with a ladle refining process. For PSL2, the steel shall be killed and melted according to a fine grain practice. Coil or plate used for PSL2 pipe shall not contain any repair welds.
