API 5L X52 Or L360 SAW Welded Steel Pipe Specifications

As a key material in the field of pipeline transportation, L360 SAW welded steel pipe is manufactured in accordance with strict standards and specifications. L360 means the minimum yield strength grade is 360MPa, which meets the strength transportation requirements; "SAW" means that the submerged arc welding process is mature and reliable, ensuring the excellent and stable welding quality and overall performance of the pipe.

Product Introduction

L360 SAW welded steel pipe is a specific specification of API 5L pipeline steel pipe. The strength mark "L360" matches the strict standard. It is divided into spiral and straight seam types. API 5L L360 LSAW welded pipe is made by submerged arc welding. The steel plate is curled. With the help of flux, the welding wire and the edge of the steel plate are melted and combined. The weld is reliable and meets the engineering strength and sealing requirements. API 5L L360 SSAW steel pipe butts the strip head and tail, controls the weld gap, adjusts the bare tube forming diameter, ensures that the pipe diameter and misalignment meet the requirements, and is welded by automatic double-wire double-sided submerged arc welding process.

The material of API 5L L360 welded pipeline pipe contains necessary chemical elements, such as cobalt, silicon, manganese, vanadium, niobium and titanium to ensure physical properties, and phosphorus and sulfur impurities are strictly controlled to ensure material stability. API 5L L360 high-strength steel pipe has good strength and toughness, with yield strength generally between 360MPa and 510MPa, tensile strength ≥460MPa, elongation ≥20%, and impact energy ≥40J at -20 degrees. These performance indicators enable API 5L L360 SAW steel pipe to withstand certain pressure and external force, and is suitable for a variety of transportation and structural applications.

The welding outer diameter of API 5L L360 pipes spans from 108mm to over 1420mm, and the wall thickness ranges from 3mm to 50mm. The dimensional accuracy strictly adheres to the standard and has a wide range of applicability. It is mainly used in the oil and gas industry and urban gas distribution, including long-distance oil and gas transmission trunk lines, urban gas supply pipelines, and gathering pipelines within oil and gas fields. API 5L L360 oil and gas pipelines can meet the requirements of high pressure and corrosion resistance during oil and gas transportation.
