API 5L X42 & L290 X42 PSL2 SAWH Pipes FBE+3LPE

API 5L X42 pipe, also called L290 pipe (according to ISO 3183), is designated by its minimum yield strength of 42100 Psi or 290 Mpa. It’s a higher grade than Grade B, where API 5L has various grades up to X100, so X42 pipe is a low-medium level and is required in large quantities in most pipelines for oil and gas transmission. The 5L X42 Pipe is called Line Pipe and API 5L X42 Pipe is one of the many grades available within this specification. The American Petroleum Institute oversees the material grades, standards and nominal sizes of X42 Pipe material and products. The materials can vary depending on the mechanical properties required by the line pipe. High temperature services would require higher mechanical properties and the low temperature; low pressure services can use some lower grade API 5L X42 Seamless Pipe types.

C&N offers API 5L X42/L290 steel pipe in welded ERW and HFW, LSAW, SAWH and seamless. Product specifications are PSL1 and PSL2 in sizes from the usual 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 16”, 20” to 60”.

Chemical Resistance Guide of Api 5l X42

Chemical composition property is C≤0.28%, Mn≤1.3%, P≤0.030%, S≤0.030%, Nb+V ≤ 0.06%, V+Nb+Ti ≤ 0.15%, and the properties of chemical element Mn maximum more than 0.1% than Grade B.
The maximum chemical content of the welded steel line pipe is lower than that of the seamless steel line pipe.
Above specifications for API 5L X42 is under the condition of PLS1, in the case of API 5L X 42 PSL2, the chemical properties and tensile strength is more strict than PSL1.

Api 5l X42 Welded Pipe Mechanical Strength

API 5L X42 Min Yield Strength is 42100 Psi, 290 Mpa (As we called L290), Tensile Strength is the same with API 5L B 60200 Psi, 415 Mpa , Min Elongation: 21%. So compared to API 5L B steel line pipe, API 5L X42 steel pipe tensile strength is higher 6600 Psi, 45 Mpa.
a. For intermediate grades, the difference between the specified minimum tensile strength and minimum yield strength for the pipe body shall be as given in the table for the next higher grade.
b. For intermediate grades, the specified minimum tensile strength for the weld seam shall be the same value as was
determined for the pipe body ung footnote a)
c. The specified minimum elongation, Af, expressed in percent and rounded to the nearest percen.

FBE+3LPE

The anti corrosion coating can be used for ERW/LSAW/SSAW pipe,straight seam pipe,seamless steel pipe,etc. And the coated pipes are widely used in pipeline projects in the field of petroleum,chemical, natural gas,heating,sewage treatment,water, bridges,steel structures,piling and other marine water.

FBE anticorrosive epoxy powder:

FBE epoxy powder preservative structure:electrostatic spraying epoxy powder coating on the pipe surface,a film. The coating has a coating operation is simple,clean,good impact resistance and flexural properties of the coating, temperature resistance advantages.

2LPE/3LPE corrosion coating:

2PE/3PE corrosion structure: the steel surface electrostatic spraying epoxy powder and binder twine lateral lateral wound polyethylene coating,combined with three excellent performance,thereby significantly improving the overall quality of corrosion of the pipe. Resistant to chemical corrosion, cathodic stripping, resistance to mechanical damage performance. Three-layer polyethylene anti-corrosion (3LPE/3PE coating pipe)is currently at home and abroad buried pipe outside the main technicall system of anti-corrosion. Its anti-corrosion performance is good, low water absorption, high mechanical strength, in recent years in the domestic buried water, gas, oil pipeline on the access to a wider range of applications.

Applications

On shore and off shore pipelines; Oil and gas transmission pipe;
Low and medium pressure pipeline systems;
Petroleum and natural gas industries;
Sour services (Low Carbon, CEQ, and S) Nace pipe anti-corrosion for H2S environment;
