We know that welded API 5l steel pipe has its own application scope and physical feature. API stands for American Petroleum Institute. It is one of the most popular materials. Others such as ASTM, ASME and so on are also available. Compared, the API material is more welcomed by us, for it is very suitable for our normal life. Diverse types and patterns products are found in the market that you can choose the most suitable one for your project.
Except for API steel pipe, other steel pipes are also in more robust feature in our today's market. There is a kind of SSAW steel pipe, can be used for liquid service, mechanical processing, structural use and others. Commonly, it has the feature of anti-rust oil, 3PE and others. It has diverse lengths and specifications. It covers wall seamless and welded carbon and alloy steel pipe intended for use at low temperatures. The pipe shall be made by the seamless or welding process with the addition of no filler metal in the welding operation.
All seamless and welded pipes shall be treated to control their microstructure. Tensile tests, impact tests, hydrostatic tests, and nondestructive electric tests shall be made in accordance to specified requirements. With these properties, the pipes are versatile. Steel is a robust material, so steel pipes are more durable and hard to broken. When these pipes are welded, the surface can be rush and corrosion resistant. With the development of our technology, the products are more protective to the inner water and itself that they can be used for many years.
