Linepipe API SPEC 5L / ASTM A106 / A53

Engineered for seamless integration across international energy projects, our linepipe portfolio harmonizes three cornerstone specifications—API 5L's hydrocarbon transport expertise, ASTM A106's high-temperature seamless integrity, and A53's versatile welded construction. This multi-standard approach eliminates procurement complexity while ensuring compliance with ASME B31.4, B31.8, and other global pipeline codes. Each pipe undergoes rigorous heat treatment and NDT validation, delivering guaranteed mechanical properties and weldability for onshore gathering systems, refinery interconnections, and plant utility piping where schedule flexibility and rapid deployment are critical.

Product Advantages

✓ Multi-Standard Versatility
Single-source supply covering API 5L (PSL1/PSL2), ASTM A106 (high-temp), and A53 (structural/utility) eliminates cross-referencing complexity and simplifies international project compliance.
✓ Strength & Temperature Range
From API 5L X70's 70,000 psi yield strength to A106 Grade C's 750°F service capability, the portfolio addresses extreme pressure-temperature combinations across upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.
✓ Manufacturing Flexibility
Seamless (SMLS), Electric Resistance Welded (ERW), and Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded (LSAW) processes provide optimal cost-performance selection for any diameter or wall thickness requirement.
✓ Enhanced Durability
Optional 3LPE, FBE, or galvanizing coatings ensure decades of corrosion-free operation in subsea, buried, or marine atmospheric environments, reducing lifecycle maintenance costs.
✓ Stringent QA/QC Protocol
Every pipe undergoes 100% hydrostatic testing, automated UT/RT weld inspection, and certified mill traceability (EN 10204 3.1/3.2), guaranteeing zero-defect delivery for critical infrastructure.

 

Packaging & Delivery

All pipes are protected with end caps and bundled securely with steel straps. Small pipes are packed in hexagonal bundles for easy handling, while larger pipes are shipped loose with cushioning to prevent damage. Waterproof wrapping and anti-rust coating keep pipes clean and corrosion-free during transit. Each bundle is clearly labeled with order details for quick identification.
We offer flexible shipping by truck, container, or break-bulk vessel depending on size and quantity. All loads are secured with wooden supports and strapping to prevent movement. Our QC team supervises loading to ensure safe transport.
Key Benefits
  • Packaging complies with international shipping standards
  • Multiple shipping options for cost efficiency
  • Full documentation and inspection reports provided
  • Global delivery capability with regional logistics support
