In the pipe industry, experience plays a pivotal part in knowing about the new changes for making many projects successful worldwide. I have enough experience in it to answer the many questions about pipes made of X 70 grade.

X70 is a premium-grade piping material per the API or American Petroleum Institute’s specifications. Also known as an L485 pipe because of its minimum yield strength of 485 MPa or 70,300 PSI. X70 covers both the welded and seamless manufacturing types and two product subscription levels of PSL1 and PSL2 used for sour services.

X70 steel pipes are made of micro-alloyed carbon-manganese steels with niobium, vanadium, and tin, which do not exceed 0.15%. Hence the Pipe’s structure is composed of acicular bainite and ferrite to have excellent welding performances.

X70 line pipe has many excellent properties like high strength, temperature impact toughness, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, high resistance to dynamic tearing, acid service suitability, and long-lasting and cost-effective.

API 5L gr X70 ERW pipe and seamless Pipe have high tensile strength ranging between 600 to 750 MPa for use in many applications from nuclear to petrochemical industries.

X70 pipe European equivalent is L485MB (1.8977), and the German equivalent includes StE480.7TM. X 70 material is available in two product specifications, PSL 1 and PSL 2, in many forms. It includes L485Q, or X70Q, L 485M, X 70M, and many others.

Pipes made from X 70 material are also seamless and welded pipes from many manufacturing methods like ERW, SSAW, and others.

Check yield strength and tensile strength of API 5L X70 Seamless pipe.

The European equivalent of API 5L X 70 pipe is L 485 pipe denoting its minimum yield strength of 485 MPa or 70,300 PSI. It is important to know the yield strength before buying the pipes. The significant reason for yield strength is the magnitude of stress at which the elasticity of the pipes becomes plastic.

Yield strength is also a constant representing the maximum limit of the elastic behavior of pipes. Hence it is essential to check the pipes' yield strength to use them correctly to ensure safety and durability with no damage.

Get X70 pipe and API 5L X70M PSL2 welded pipe as per Iso 3183 specification.

To make pipes choosing high-quality raw materials is essential, as in many other products.

PSL 1 and PSL 2 are the two product specifications of API or American Petroleum Institute for the many X series of carbon steel pipes. There are many differences between the two for the API 5L X70 PSL2 welded Pipe that, include the following:

API 5L gr X70 erw pipe is available in diameter ranging from 1" to 26"

There are many uses of the X 70 or L 485 pipes in many sectors, including the following.

L 485 PSL 2 pipes are best for sour services for applications to avoid corrosion because of H2S or hydrogen sulfide..
