PRODUCT LEVEL

PSL 1 (Product Specification Level 1): Represents the standard quality for pipes and seamless steel pipe for use in general applications.

PSL 2 (Product Specification Level 2): A superior-grade specification with improved mechanical properties and more rigorous chemical composition controls with full NDT.

PERFORMANCE AND APPLICATION

API 5L Grade	Key Mechanical Properties (Yield Strength)	Applicable Scenarios in the Americas
Grade B	≥245 MPa	We serve the low-pressure gas pipeline construction industry in North America and small oilfield gathering project in Central America.
X42/X46	>290/317 MPa	Water-pumping systems in the U.S. Midwest and energy grids in South American cities.
X52 (Main)	>359 MPa	Serving shale oil pipelines in Texas, onshore oil and gas gathering in Brazil, and cross-border gas transmission projects in Panama.
X60/X65	>414/448 MPa	Transport of oil sands in Canada and medium to high-pressure oil pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico
X70/X80	>483/552 MPa	U.S. cross-country oil pipelines, Brazilian deepwater oil and gas platforms.

Technological Process

Raw Material Inspection – Select and inspect high-quality steel billets or coils.

Forming – Roll or pierce the material into pipe shape (Seamless / ERW / SAW).

Welding – Join pipe edges by electric resistance or submerged arc welding.

Heat Treatment – Improve strength and toughness through controlled heating.

Sizing & Straightening – Adjust pipe diameter and ensure dimensional accuracy.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Check for internal and surface defects.

Hydrostatic Test – Test each pipe for pressure resistance and leaks.

Surface Coating – Apply anti-corrosion coating (Black varnish, FBE, 3LPE, etc.).

Marking & Inspection – Mark specifications and perform final quality checks.

Packaging & Delivery – Bundle, cap, and ship with Mill Test Certificates.

Packing and Transportation

Packaging:

Packaging Specifications: API Pipe is shipped on IPPC‑fumigated wooden pallets (meeting Central American quarantine standards), wrapped in a 3-layer waterproof membrane, and fitted with plastic protective caps. Each bundle weighs 2–3 tons, suitable for small cranes on local construction sites.

Customization: Standard length 12 m for container shipping; short-length options of 8 m or 10 m available for mountainous inland transport in Guatemala, Honduras, and nearby regions.

All-Inclusive Documentation: Includes Spanish Certificate of Origin (Form B), MTC material certificate, SGS test report, packing list, and commercial invoice. Any document errors are reissued within 24 hours.

Transportation:

For transit times of “China → Colon Port, Panama (30 days), Manzanillo Port, Mexico (28 days), Limon Port, Costa Rica (35 days),” we provide information on short-distance delivery partners (such as TMM, a local logistics company in Panama) for “port to oil field/construction site”.

FAQ

Q1: Do your API 5L steel pipes meet Americas standards?
A: Yes. Fully compliant with API 5L 45th Revision, ASME B36.10M, and local regulations (Mexico NOM, Panama free trade zone). All certifications (API, NACE MR0175, ISO 9001) are verifiable online.

Q2: Which steel grade is right for my project?

Low pressure (≤3 MPa): B or X42 – municipal gas, irrigation.
Medium pressure (3–7 MPa): X52 – onshore oil & gas (e.g., Texas shale).
High pressure (≥7 MPa) / offshore: X65/X70/X80 – deepwater or high-strength needs.
