Zhengde API pipeline steel pipe is a pipeline pipe belonging to the American Petroleum Standard. The pipeline pipe is used to transport the oil, steam, and water pumped out of the ground to the oil and gas industry enterprises through the pipeline pipe. Line pipes include seamless pipes and welded steel pipes, and the pipe ends have flat ends, threaded ends and socket ends; the connection methods are end welding, collar connection, socket connection, etc.
The production of high-grade line pipes adopts micro-alloying heat treatment process. The production cost of stainless steel seamless pipes is obviously higher than that of welded pipes, and with the improvement of steel grades, such as X80 and above steel grade line pipes, there is no carbon equivalent limit. The conventional process of seam steel pipe is difficult to meet the requirements of users; all 12Cr1moV alloy pipe manufacturers are carrying out scientific research work to improve the corrosion resistance of their line pipes and stabilize the performance in low temperature and high temperature environments.

API
API is the English abbreviation of American Petroleum Institute. The grade indicates: the first two digits of the minimum value of the American unit yield strength. Take X80 as an example: X80 is the minimum yield strength of pipeline steel pipe 80000psi (552MPa) PSI English full name is Pounds per square inch. P is pound, S is square, and I is inch. It can be calculated by changing all the units into metric units: 1psi=6.895kPa=0.06895bar European countries and other countries are accustomed to using psi as the unit 1bar=0.1MPaM--thermomechanical controlled rolling (TMCP controlled rolling and controlled cooling) N--normalizing Q--Quenching and tempering (quenching + high temperature tempering) X42NB/X60QS/X65MS/X65MO.

Performance requirements
API pipe requirements (uniformity and stability of performance, dimensional accuracy, plate shape hardening, Bauschinger effect) to withstand large static and dynamic loads, to withstand the impact of oil flow erosion and corrosion, ambient temperature, and geological conditions on steel properties. Installation Welding quality. High plasticity and toughness, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, good welding performance, excellent resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking and sulfide stress corrosion cracking.

Attention to detail
There shall be no cracks, scars, folds, air bubbles, inclusions and delaminations on the surface that are harmful to use. The surface of the steel strip is allowed to have pits, concaves, scratches and other local defects whose depth or height does not exceed half of the thickness tolerance. And the minimum thickness allowed by the steel strip should be guaranteed. The depth of edge cracks and other defects in the width direction shall not exceed half of the allowable width deviation and the minimum width of the steel strip shall be guaranteed. The surface of pipeline steel shall not have defects such as scratches and scratches that may cause cracks in ultrasonic testing.

Applicable scene
Execution standards of seamless steel pipes for oil and gas pipelines: API 5L: GR.B (L245), X42 (L290), X46 (L320), X52 (L360), X56 (L390), X60 (L415), X65 (L450), X70(L485). Main application: used to make oil and natural gas pipelines. API 5L generally refers to the pipeline steel plate - API 5L pipeline steel plate, the pipeline steel plate is processed into a large-diameter pipeline steel pipe to transport the oil, steam and water extracted from the ground to the oil and gas industry enterprises through the pipeline pipe. The application range of API 5L pipeline steel is gradually expanding, especially the advantages of API 5L large-diameter pipeline steel are more obvious, coupled with the cost factor, API 5L seamless steel pipe has occupied a dominant position in the field of pipeline steel.
