Description

Product Description API 5l X42 Pipe

API 5L X42 Pipe is a type of steel pipe manufactured according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications. The “API 5L” designation refers to the standard for seamless and welded steel line pipes used primarily in transporting oil, natural gas, and water. These pipes are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, as well as in other industries where high-performance pipelines are needed for the safe transportation of fluids. API 5L X42 pipes are designed to withstand difficult environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive chemicals. The pipes are manufactured using high-quality carbon steel, which is treated to provide enhanced strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

API 5L X42 pipes are available in various sizes and thicknesses to meet specific operational requirements. These pipes can be delivered with different surface finishes and may be coated or lined for additional protection against corrosion. The pipes can also be supplied in both seamless and welded forms, depending on the needs of the project.

Notes:

  1. OD: Refers to the outside diameter of the pipe.
  2. Wall Thickness: Corresponds to the standard weight (Schedule 40) pipe.
  3. Weight per foot: Calculated approximately based on steel density of 490 lbs/ft³.
  4. Dimensions may slightly vary depending on the manufacturer.
