API 5L grade X60 material is one of the most popular pipeline steel materials. It is usually used for transportation of oil, gas and water under high temperatures. API 5L grade X60 material is always used in natural gas industries, oil refineries and in water lines. Pipeline steel API 5L grade X60 material properties are as below.
Pipeline steel API 5L grade X60 material properties - chemical composition:
Grade | C | Mn | P | S | Si |
API 5L X60 PSL1 | 0.26 | 1.40 | 0.030 | 0.030 | |
API 5L X60 PSL2 | 0.12 | 1.60 | 0.025 | 0.015 | 0.45 |
Pipeline steel API 5L grade X60 material properties - mechanical properties:
Grade | Yield Strength | Tensile Strength |
Mpa (Psi) | Min Mpa (Psi) | |
API 5L X60 PSL1 | Min 415 (60200) | Min 520 (75400) |
API 5L X60 PSL2 | 415 (60200)- 565(81900) | 520 (75400)- 760(110200) |
Pipeline steel API 5L grade X60 material properties are little different between API 5L X60 PSL1 and API 5L X60 PSL2. It is easy to understand API 5L X60 PSL2 is higher level than API 5L X60 PSL1 from the above API 5L grade X60 material properties tables.
