Mechanical Requirement

Mechanical integrity is at the core of UNIASEN’s API 5L Line Pipes. We focus on key mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness to ensure our pipes withstand the demanding conditions of the pipeline industry. By choosing UNIASEN, you benefit from pipes that are engineered to perform under pressure, providing you with the confidence and reliability that your operations demand.

a For intermediate grades, the difference between the specified maximum yield strength and the specified minimum yield strength shall be as given in the table for the next higher grade, and the difference between the specified minimum tensile strength and the specified minimum yield strength shall be as given in the table for the next higher grade; for intermediate grades up to Grade L320 or X46, the tensile strength shall be ≤ 655 MPa (95,000 psi); for intermediate grades greater than Grade L320 or X46 and lower than Grade L555 or X80, the tensile strength shall be ≤ 760 MPa (110,200 psi); for intermediate grades higher than Grade L555 or X80, the maximum permissible tensile strength shall be obtained by interpolation; for SI units, the calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 5 MPa; for USC units, the calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 100 psi. b For grades > L625 or X90, Rp0.2 applies. c This limit applies for pipe with D > 323.9 mm (12.750 in.). d For intermediate grades, the specified minimum tensile strength for the weld seam shall be the same value as was determined for the pipe body using footnote a). e For pipe requiring longitudinal testing, the maximum yield strength shall be ≤ 495 MPa (71,800 psi). f The specified minimum elongation, Af, shall be as determined using the following equation: where C is 1940 for calculations using SI units and 625,000 for calculations using USC units; Axc is the applicable tensile test piece cross-sectional area, expressed in square millimeters (square inches), as follows: 1) for circular cross-section test pieces, 130 mm2 (0.20 in.2) for 12.7 mm (0.500 in.) and 8.9 mm (0.350 in.) diameter test pieces; 65 mm2 (0. 10 in.2) for 6.4 mm (0.250 in.) diameter test pieces; 2) for full-section test pieces, the lesser of a) 485 mm2 (0.75 in.2) and b) the cross-sectional area of the test piece, derived using the specified outside diameter and the specified wall thickness of the pipe, rounded to the nearest 10 mm2 (0.01 in.2); 3) for strip test pieces, the lesser of a) 485 mm2 (0.75 in.2) and b) the cross-sectional area of the test piece, derived using the specified width of the test piece and the specified wall thickness of the pipe, rounded to the nearest 10 mm2 (0.01 in.2); U is the specified minimum tensile strength, expressed in megapascals (pounds per square inch). g Lower values of Rt0.5/Rm may be specified by agreement. h For grades > L625 or X90, Rp0.2 /Rm applies. Lower values of Rp0.2 /Rm may be specified by agreement.

API 5L Line Pipe Test Method

Chemical Analysis:

The number of tests is 2 pieces each lot of 500 or 2 pieces per heat. (If either pipe fails, an additional two pieces from the same batch must be tested.)

Tensile Test:

This test is performed to assess the mechanical properties of the pipe. In the case of a welded pipe, the weld strength shall not be less than the pipe body strength.

Bending Test:

On pipe diameters NPS 2 and less, a bending test is performed to determine the ductility of the pipe. The bend test could be 90 degrees or 180 degrees, depending on the situation.

Flattening Test:

For ductility, pipe sizes greater than NPS 2 are flattening tested. In line with ASTM A53, a pipe sample is sliced and flattened between two flat surfaces.

Hydro Test:

This is a test that is performed on each length of the pipe to determine whether or not there is a leak. The pressure must be maintained for at least 5 seconds.

Weld Seam Ultrasonic or Electromagnetic Test:

This non-destructive test is performed throughout the whole length of the weld to check the weld’s integrity.
