    API 5L line Pipe Brief Introduction

    API 5L steel line pipe is designed for oil and gas pipelines in a variety of working situations. Steel line pipe is typically made of carbon steel and meets API SPEC 5L requirements. Applied to petroleum and natural gas industries, oil industries are anticipated to work in harsh scenarios, low and high temperatures, corrosion resistance for corrosive environments, and sour services in H2S conditions.

    API 5L ERW Welded Pipe Manufacturing

    Resistance pipe, which is a form of ERW pipe, differs from welded pipe and DC welded pipe in two distinct ways, as shown below. Based on the frequency of the weld, IF welding is used for low frequency and ultra-IF welding is used for high frequency. In the case of thin-walled pipe, contact welding and induction welding often employ a high-frequency weld. When small-diameter pipes are required, DC welding is utilized. Comprehensive, ERW-type pipes are produced using a high-frequency welding method. ERW longitudinal is the most suggested material for oil and gas storage due of its affordability, quality, and transportability.
