API 5L X80 Pipe

What are the mechanical properties of the API 5L X80 pipe?

The chemical composition and manufacturing methods ensure excellent properties for pipes to use in many applications in several sectors. Hence knowing the physical and mechanical properties is important to buy the best pipes.

As an executive with a reputed pipe supplier, I know the mechanical properties of API 5L X 80 pipe and other pipes. Hence I can answer many questions about it, from properties to the types and difference with others.

Mechanical properties like how the pipe can withstand high temperatures with enough strength are vital to know for buyers. Though physical properties like colours, melting point, density and others are important, mechanical properties play a critical role in pipe-safe functions.

Like others, the API 5L X 80 steel pipes have two product specifications, PSL1 and PSL 2, available in welded and seamless forms. And depending on these product types and forms, the mechanical properties of these pipes differ for use in many applications.

There are many mechanical properties of pipes to check before buying, and a few of them for the API 5L X80 welded pipe and others include tensile strength is 625 MPa and yield strength is 555 MPa.

What is the difference between an X70 and an X80 pipe?

X 70 and X 80 pipes are part of the X series of pipes made per the API 5L specifications. But there are also many differences between the two that include.

• The carbon content of X 80 is less at 0.08% than the higher carbon content of 0.28%
• The silicon content of X 80 is higher at 0.26% than the 0.03% in X 70
• The manganese content of X 80 is higher at 1.75% than the 1.5% in X 70

What are the uses of an API 5L grade X80 pipe?

Because of its high manganese content along with aluminium, molybdenum, niobium, vanadium, tin, etc., the API 5L grade X80 pipe is useful in many applications in several sectors. A few such uses include.

• Transports corrosive chemicals into chemical plants
• Conveys many dangerous petrol products for long distances 
• Carry gas, oil and water in oil & gas industries
• Useful in sour services for avoiding H2S or hydrogen sulphide corrosion
• Uses in the power generation of both thermal and nuclear
• Best for use in general engineering purposes
• Use in sugar, pressure vessels, boiler equipment, etc.

X80 grade pipe stock available in custom sizes, check X80 psl1 ERW Pipes yield stress

What is the yield stress for API 5L X80 carbon steel seamless pipe?

The higher the X series of API 5L pipes, the higher the yield stress, as there is high tensile and yield strength. API 5L X80 carbon steel seamless pipe has a yield strength of 65 KSI and tensile strength of 77 KSI.

The yield-to-tensile ratio for the API X80 ERW pipe is 0.93, and the elongation is 18%. Because of the high yield stress and the other mechanical properties, it is useful in many applications in various sectors.

What are PSL1 and PSL2 in X80 grade pipe?

Most X series pipes adhering to the API or American Petroleum Institute’s specifications have two product specifications, PSL1 and PSL2.

X80 grade pipe also has PSL 1 and PSL 2 product specifications that have many differences. PSL1 is a loose-quality pipe that does not need any test to prove its quality as its use is restricted to non-critical applications. PSL 2 is of high quality to be useful in many critical applications and needs many tests to prove its quality. A few of the tests include hydraulic, non-destructive tests and others.

What are the three types of coating in ISO 3183 L555 pipe?

ISO 3183 L555 pipe has many types of coating to make it strong and with high corrosion resistance. The three significant types of coating include the following.

• The galvanized coating includes dipping the pipes in Zinc to increase the corrosion resistance.
• Epoxy coating is affordable, eliminates leaks, for pipes to have excellent properties.
• PTFE coating is cost-effective for storing and moving high-corrosive fluids under high pressure and temperature up to 230 C.
