PERFORMANCE AND APPLICATION

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

Our Advantages

Local & Spanish support: Our offices in the region give full support in Spanish, managing the customs clearance and import process to ensure a smooth execution.

Reliable stock: We keep enough stock for quick order delivering.

Safe packaging: Elbows are wrapped in multi-layer pice bubble wrap, sealed and boxed to avoid getting damage during transportation.

Quality Global Shipping: We provide effective international delivery so that you won't be held up with your projects!

Packing and Transportation

Packaging:

Packaging and handling Pipes are loaded on IPPC-fumigated wooden pallets (complying with Central American quarantine standards), then wrapped with a 3-ply waterproof membrane and ends wrapped with plastic caps to prevent dust and moisture.

Laminate Weight: Each laminated pack is 2–3 tons, which can be handled with small cranes at site.

Length Options Standard 12 m pipes for container shipping, 8 m and 10 m options for inland transport in mountainous regions like Guatemala and Hondur as.

Documentation: All the documents are in Spanish and they include Certificate of Origin (Form B), MTC, SGS reports, packing lists and commercial invoices. Any typos are fixed and reissued within 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 Edition, ASME B36.10M, and local rules (e.g., Mexico NOM, Panama FTZ). Certifications (API, NACE MR0175, ISO 9001) are verifiable online.

2. How to choose the right grade?

Low pressure (≤3 MPa): B or X42 — municipal gas, irrigation.
Medium pressure (3–7 MPa): X52 — onshore oil & gas.
High pressure (≥7 MPa) / offshore: X65–X80 — deepwater, high-stress pipelines.
