Products Description
API 5L generally refers to the pipeline pipe (pipeline pipe) of the implementation of the standard, pipeline steel pipe including seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe two categories. At present in the oil pipeline we commonly used welded steel pipe pipe type spiral submerged arc welded pipe (SSAW), straight seam submerged arc welded pipe (LSAW), resistance welded pipe (ERW), seamless steel pipe is generally used in the pipeline diameter is less than 152mm. GNEE Group supplies API 5L pipe in various sizes, you can contact us for API 5L steel pipe anytime.
