FAQ
Q: What is the difference between API 5L PSL1 and PSL2?
A: PSL2 applies stricter limits on chemical composition, mechanical performance and impact toughness, suitable for critical and sour service pipeline projects.
Q: What is the difference between X42 and X52 grade?
A: X52 possesses higher minimum yield strength than X42, which can bear higher working pressure for pipeline operation.
Q: Can you provide Mill Test Certificate?
A: Yes, all our pipes come with official MTC documents complying with EN 10204 3.1, third‑party verification is acceptable.
Q: What pipe lengths can you supply?
A: We provide 5.8m, 6m, 11.8m, 12m standard SRL & DRL lengths, custom lengths are negotiable.
Q: Are external anti‑corrosion coatings available?
A: Yes, FBE, 3PE, 3PP and other anti‑corrosion coatings can be produced according to project requirements.
