Learn about API 5L pipes for pipelines. The API 5L specification covers seamless and welded pipes to convey oil, gas, and water in the natural oil & gas and petrochemical industries. API 5L line pipes are available in multiple carbon steel grades, designated as Grade B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X70, X80 and in PSL1 or PSL2 specification levels.

Learn about the alloy steel pipes specification ASTM A335 that covers “chrome-moly” seamless pipes with remarkable resistance to corrosion and good tensile strength at high-temperature service. Generally, ASTM A335 P11, P22, and P91 pipes are used in power generation, and in downstream oil and gas, P5 and P9 grades are for refinery applications. ASTM A335 SPECIFICATION: ALLOY STEEL PIPES GENERAL INFO A335 PIPES ASTM A335 is a specification that covers
The ASTM A312 specification covers seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel pipes used for high-temperature and/or corrosive service (the most common grades are 304/304L and 316/316L). The A790 specification covers seamless duplex and super duplex pipes UNS S32205/31803 and UNS S32750/32760 (special SS grade with a mixed ferritic/austenitic microstructure). In this article, we illustrate the chemical and mechanical properties of the A312/A790 specifications. STAINLESS STEEL PIPE ASTM A312 GENERAL INFO
Learn about the key pipe specifications in the US, European Union, and UK (ASTM/API, EN; BS), including materials matching tables across such specifications…
What is the difference between external pipe coating and internal pipe lining and cladding? External pipe coatings are used to protect the metal from corrosive environments (3LPE-coated pipes are the most common choice). Internal lining (for example PTFE) protects the pipe from corrosive fluids. Clad pipes (CRA or “Bimetallic Pipes”) have the inner surface covered by higher-grade materials to achieve stronger resistance while decreasing the overall pipe cost. EXTERNALLY COATED
This article described the key specifications applicable to pipe color coding in the US, and Europe. Pipe color coding is a system used to visually identify the contents, function, or classification of pipes within a facility or construction project. It helps workers and operators quickly recognize the purpose of a pipe and adhere to safety regulations. While color coding standards can vary depending on the industry, location, and specific requirements,
