API 5L X52 Pipe

What grade is API 5L X52 pipe equivalent to?

Most pipes have many equivalents for use during emergencies, not to wait for the specific grades. Only by experience is it possible to know the right equivalents to use the pipes safely. And using any wrong pipes will not fulfil the purpose and may even cause huge damage.

Since I have been in the pipe field for over two decades, I can give the grades to API 5L X 52 pipe equivalents with enough experience and expertise. It is a common grade pipe useful in oil & gas industries. It has many names, like L 360 and X 52.

A few of its equivalents include the following, among others. The equivalents to X52 line Pipe should have the same or most of the composition and many of its properties and uses. Such equivalents to X 52 steel pipes include the following, among others.

• Equivalent to L245 pipes referred to as ISO 3183 with a minimum yield strength of 355,000 psi or 245 MPA.

What is the tensile strength of the X52 pipe?

It is important to know the tensile strength of pipes before buying them as it will avoid any overloading to cause failures. And also for the pipes to not corrode prematurely, not burn, deflect, or shift off grade to reduce the hydraulic performance.

• The minimum ultimate tensile strength of X 52 pipes is 82,700 PSI or 570 MPa
• The minimum yield strength is 52,2500 PSI or 360 MPa.

What is the weight of the L360 pipe per foot?

To buy an L360 pipe in weight, you need to know how much of it is per foot for specific uses. Only by knowing the correct length in weights can you buy the right quantity to not waste or not be short of pipes during applications.

The formula to know the weight of any pipe per foot is Wt/Ft = 10.69 (OD – wall thickness) x wall thickness OD is the other diameter measured using tape on the circumference of the centre of the pipe The wall thickness is the difference between the OD and the ID or the interior diameter

Difference between X52 and X65 pipe

API 5L specifies the standards for both the X 52 Steel Pipe and X 65 pipes, and both are available in seamless and welded forms. But there are also many differences between the two. A few of the differences include the following.

• Though most chemical compositions are the same for both, the tin content is higher in X 65 with 0.06% than in the X 65 pipe with 0.04%.
• The tensile strength varies between the two as API 5L X52 Steel Pipe has only 52 KSI compared to the 65 of X 65 pipes.
• The yield strength also varies between the two, with X 52 having only 66 KSI Compared to the 77 of X 65

What are the three major methods of API 5L X52 psl2 pipe manufacturing?

There are many manufacturing processes for API 5L X52 PSL2 Pipe to have excellent properties for many high temperature, pressure and corrosion resistance applications.

X 52 pipes use billets, blooms, ingots, plates and coils for manufacturing. A few of the manufacturing processes for API 5L X52 PSL2 Seamless Pipe and ERW pipes include the following, among others.

• SMLS or seamless without weld
• LFW or low-frequency welded pipe with less than 70 kHz
• HFW or high-frequency welded pipe with higher than 70 kHz
• SAWL or submerged arc welding longitudinal welded method
• SAWH or submerged arc welding spiral welded method.
