API 5L X60 LSAW Steel Pipe For High-Pressure Transmission Pipelines
Specifications
API 5L X60 LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded) steel pipe is a high-strength line pipe designed for oil, gas, and water transmission. It features a minimum yield strength of 60,200 psi (415 MPa). Produced by cold-forming steel plate into a cylinder and joining it with a longitudinal double-sided submerged arc weld, this pipe is ideal for large-diameter, high-pressure, and long-distance applications, including harsh or corrosive environments.
