What is API 5L equivalent to?
ASTM A106 B
API 5L Grade B pipe is a general grade pipe for oil and gas pipeline transmission. Also called L245 pipe, referring to ISO 3183, named for a minimum yield strength of 245 MPa (355,000 Psi). Equivalent materials ASTM A106 B or ASTM A53 B, with similar values in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties and applications.

API 5L B covers PSL1, PSL2, sour services for onshore and offshore pipelines. Fabrication types include seamless and welded. PSL1, PSL2 and acid service types, usually PSL1 is used and is equivalent to ASTM A106 B and A53 B.
API 5L Class B pipe is the most commonly used material
API 5L Grade B, ASTM A106 Grade B and A53 B, these three are the most commonly used materials in pipeline construction or oil, gas and liquid transportation industries.
ASTM 106 pipes refer to carbon steel pipes manufactured in a hot-rolled or cold-drawn (rolled) seamless manner.
ASTM A53 Pipe covers welded and seamless steel pipe made of carbon black materials and in some cases hot-dip galvanized (galvanized).
