1.65 percent manganese, 0.16 percent silicon, and 0.45 percent carbon make up the bulk of the pipe’s alloying materials. All X56 carbon steel pipe types, including API 5L X56 Erw, X56 Line, X56 Lsaw, X56 Seamless Pipe, and API 5L X56 PSL 1 Pipe, also contain minute quantities of several additional elements. Among them are 0.04 percent titanium, 0.020 percent phosphorus, 0.010 percent sulphur, 0.07 percent vanadium, and 0.05 percent niobium.
Steel Pipe Grade X56’s mechanical properties are enhanced and boosted by the addition of these components to the alloy. Grade X56 Pipe has a variety of advantages, including increased tensile strength, improved hardness and toughness.
Both API 5L X56 Grade B and API 5L X56 PSL1 Pipe have good corrosion resistance, including sulphur stress cracking corrosion, and are well suited to sour service. API 5L X56 PSL1 could be finished by applying a coating.
This coating for X56 steel pipes may be applied internally, externally, or both. Heating, coating with anti-corrosion oil, or painting with black oil paint are all options for finishing API 5L Grade X56 Pipe. Additionally, X56 Grade Pipe could be cold- or hot-galvanized.
There are numerous types of API 5L X56m PSL1, such as erw, seamless, CDW, fabricated, and welded. The production of API 5L X56 Welded Pipe comes in a wide range of shapes, such as “U” Shape, Rectangle, Oval, Hydraulic Tube, Shaft, Flexible Pipe, Round, Square, Coil, etc. The end connections for L390 pipe can be simple, screwed, bevelled, or threaded, according on the requirements and intended application of the buyer.
Because they can withstand both hot and arctic temperatures, these API 5L X56 ERW Pipe are employed in a variety of industries. For instance, they work in the nuclear and thermal energy industries to produce energy. Additionally, API 5L Gr X 56 Seamless & Welded Pipes are used in boiler equipment, pressure vessels, the steel, sugar, and general engineering industries.
