Most pipes have many equivalents for use during emergencies, not to wait for the specific grades. Only by experience is it possible to know the right equivalents to use the pipes safely. And using any wrong pipes will not fulfil the purpose and may even cause huge damage.

Since I have been in the pipe field for over two decades, I can give the grades to API 5L X 52 pipe equivalents with enough experience and expertise. It is a common grade pipe useful in oil & gas industries. It has many names, like L 360 and X 52.

A few of its equivalents include the following, among others. The equivalents to X52 line Pipe should have the same or most of the composition and many of its properties and uses. Such equivalents to X 52 steel pipes include the following, among others.

It is important to know the tensile strength of pipes before buying them as it will avoid any overloading to cause failures. And also for the pipes to not corrode prematurely, not burn, deflect, or shift off grade to reduce the hydraulic performance.

To buy an L360 pipe in weight, you need to know how much of it is per foot for specific uses. Only by knowing the correct length in weights can you buy the right quantity to not waste or not be short of pipes during applications.

The formula to know the weight of any pipe per foot is Wt/Ft = 10.69 (OD – wall thickness) x wall thickness OD is the other diameter measured using tape on the circumference of the centre of the pipe The wall thickness is the difference between the OD and the ID or the interior diameter

API 5L specifies the standards for both the X 52 Steel Pipe and X 65 pipes, and both are available in seamless and welded forms. But there are also many differences between the two. A few of the differences include the following.

There are many manufacturing processes for API 5L X52 PSL2 Pipe to have excellent properties for many high temperature, pressure and corrosion resistance applications.

X 52 pipes use billets, blooms, ingots, plates and coils for manufacturing. A few of the manufacturing processes for API 5L X52 PSL2 Seamless Pipe and ERW pipes include the following, among others.

The four significant applications of API 5L X52 Erw Pipe manufactured by the American Petroleum Institute include:
