Application of API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL 2 / API 5L Grade X70
API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL2 LSAW Carbon Steel Pipe is usually used in projects of oil and gas pipeline , in submarine pipeline, pipelines through high-altitude zones and dense urban areas.Details of API 5L Grade X70 LSAW Steel Pipe
Manufacture:Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welding Size: O.D.: 406～1422mm W.T.: 8～60mm Length: 3-12M or specified length as required. Ends: Plain End, Beveled End, GroovedManufacturing Process of API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL 2 / API 5L Grade X70
API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL2 LSAW Carbon Steel Pipe is manufactured by forming the X65 steel plates into a round shape then welding the seam through automatically arc welding process. In the production of API 5L X65 PSL1&PSL2 LSAW Carbon Steel Pipe, plates of grade X65 are formed by the molding machine into round shape then welded through double-sided submerged arc welding.Chemical Composition of API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL 2 LSAW Carbon Steel Pipe

Out-of-roundness tolerances apply to maximum and minimum diameters as measured with a bar gauge, caliper, or device measuring actual maximum and minimum diameters.
The average diameter (as measured with a diameter tape) of one end of pipe shall not differ by more than 3/32 in. (2.38 mm) from that of the other end.
Mechanical Tests for API 5L X65 PSL1/PSL 2 / API 5L Grade X70
Tensile testing of the pipe body—The tensile test should be carried out in accordance with ISO6892 or ASTM A370.Longitudinal samples should be used.Twice per test unit of pipe with the same cold-expansion ratio a.b.d. CVN impact test—The Charpy test should be carried out in accordance with ASTM A370. Twice per test unit of not more than 100 lengths of pipe with the same cold-expansion ratio a.b.d. Hardness Test—When suspected hard spots are detected by visual inspection, hardness tests shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 6506, ISO 6507, ISO 6508 or ASTM A 370 using portable hardness test equipment and methods complying with ASTM A 956, ASTM A 1038 or ASTM E 110 respectively depending on the method Used.Hydro-static Test—Each tube shall be subjected to the hydro-static pressure test
Bending Test— a sufficient length of pipe shall stand being bent cold through 90° around a cylindrical mandrel.

Notes:
1. Weight tolerances apply to the calculated weights for threaded-and-coupled pipe and to the tabulated or calculated weights for plain-end pipe. Where negative wall thickness tolerances smaller than those listed in above table are specified by the purchaser, the plus weight tolerance for single lengths shall be increased to 22.5 percent less the wail thickness negative tolerance.
2. For carloads composed of pipe from more than one order item, the carload tolerances are to be applied on an individual order item basis.
3. The tolerance for order items apply to the overall quantity of pipe shipped for the order item.
