What is API 5L X60 Pipe
X60 line pipe is a type of steel pipe used in the oil and gas industry to transport media such as oxygen, water, and oil, conforming to API SPEC 5L standards. Its outer diameter ranges from 8 inches to 1240 mm, and its wall thickness ranges from 1 to 200 mm. Materials include various grades such as B, X42 to X70, with the X60 grade being particularly suitable for extreme environments such as deep seas and polar regions due to its balance of strength and toughness.
