Standard:

According to API specifications there are two types of steels used in the construction of line pipes:

5LX grades are mostly used for high pressure applications. The price per ton is not very different for these steels, but for 5LX grade much less metal is needed because of higher strength. Welding high strength steel is much more difficult because larger temperature difference caused by welding equipment can leave residual stress in the weld area, unless these stresses are removed by pre-cautioning measures such as pre-heating the weld zone, and annealing the finished welds. To avoid such difficulties, additives such as Niobium are used.

Oil, Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical and Water Treatment/Transmission Industries use a variety of steel pipes for a number of applications. Depending on the temperature, pressure and corrosive conditions, the suitable type of pipe is employed.
