As said above, the API 5L PSL2 Pipes are higher quality pipes that have high resistance to pressure and temperature. They can work in adverse environmental conditions and transmit oil, gas, and water in a safe and efficient manner. The PSL2 standards lay down additional testing requirements, more stringent chemical and physical properties along with CVN testing and higher Charpy impact testing conditions. These are meant to ensure the toughness of API 5L PSL2 Pipes so that they are able to deliver in regular as well as world-class projects.

The API 5L PSL2 pipes are fit for strenuous conditions across industries that make use of pipes for transmission. It is not just about petroleum, gas, and oil. These pipes operate like a pro whether it is offshore or deep well drilling. As a result, the technicians do not have to worry about the strain and external pressure during operations. The API 5L PSL2 Pipes have been tested for harsher environments and the best thing is that they can be customized as per the unique application requirements.

1. All surfaces have been 100% visually inspected. The surface condition complies with API 5L standards.
2. External surface of pipe shall be coated with a layer of varnish.

NDT

All pipes will be ultrasonic tested on pipe body and pipe end as per API 5L standards:

1. longitudinal: 100% of the pipe surface
2. pipe ends not scanned by automatic ultrasonic system shall be inspected by manual UT or Magnetic Particle Examination.

Certification and traceability

All dimensions will be supplied with a 3.2 certificate according to EN 10204, endorsed by recognized and independent inspection agency. Marking shall be in SI units (X42) accordance with API requirements & mill standard.

Dimensional control
