PRODUCT LEVEL

PSL 1: Standard quality of pipe for plain end line pipe for general use.

PSL 2: A superior quality level with improved mechanical properties, tighter chemical composition limits, and required NDT for greater confidence.

PERFORMANCE AND APPLICATION

API 5L Grade	Key Mechanical Properties (Yield Strength)	Applicable Scenarios in the Americas
Grade B	≥245 MPa	North American low-pressure gas pipelines and small-scale oilfield gathering networks in Central America.
X42/X46	>290/317 MPa	Agricultural irrigation in the U.S. Midwest, municipal energy networks in South America
X52 (Main)	>359 MPa	Texas shale oil pipelines, onshore oil and gas gathering in Brazil, and cross-border gas transmission in Panama.
X60/X65	>414/448 MPa	Oil sands transportation in Canada, medium-to-high pressure pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico
X70/X80	>483/552 MPa	Long-distance oil pipelines in the U.S., deepwater oil & gas platforms in Brazil

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.

Length Options: Standard 12 m pipes (container friendly) and 8 m and 10 m shorter versions for inland transport in mountainous regions such as in Guatemala or Honduras.

Paperwork: We offer Spanish language versions all paperwork including CoO (FORM B), MTC, SGS reports, packing lists and commercial invoices. Any mistake is rectified and reissued in 24 hours.

Transportation:

Transportation & Local Distribution: Delivery from China is about 30days to Colon, Panama and 28 days to Manzanillo, Mexico,35 days to Limón, Costa Rica. We also have local delivery partners (i.e, TMM in Panama) for delivery from port to oil field or construction.

FAQ

1. Do your API 5L pipes meet Americas standards?
Yes. Fully compliant with API 5L 45th Revision, ASME B36.10M, and local regulations (e.g., Mexico NOM, Panama FTZ). Certifications like API, NACE MR0175, ISO 9001 are verifiable online.

2. How to choose the right steel grade?

Low-pressure (≤3 MPa): Grade B or X42, cost-effective for municipal gas/irrigation.
Medium-pressure (3–7 MPa): X52, ideal for onshore oil/gas (e.g., Texas shale).
High-pressure (≥7 MPa) / Offshore: X65–X80, for deepwater or high-stress pipelines.
