API 5L Grade B line pipe is carbon steel pipe manufactured and inspected in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute’s API Specification 5L, “Specification for Line Pipe,” also known as L245 line pipe, and complies with the ISO 3183 standard (The technical requirements of API 5L and ISO 3183 are essentially the same, and the mechanical property requirements for ISO 3183 L245 are identical to those for API 5L Grade B.) It is primarily used in oil, natural gas, water, and other fluid transportation systems.
API 5L Grade B is typically manufactured from carbon-manganese steel and can be produced using seamless or welded (ERW, LSAW, SSAW/HSAW) processes. It covers two product specification levels—PSL 1 and PSL 2—to meet the requirements of various projects.
Grade B is one of the most widely used basic pipeline steel grades in the API 5L standard. It offers good strength, toughness, weldability, formability, and cost-effectiveness, and is extensively used in oil transmission pipelines, natural gas transmission pipelines, water conveyance pipelines, fluid conveyance systems in the petrochemical industry, and basic pipelines in the power and energy sectors.
We supply API 5L Grade B carbon steel pipes in a variety of diameters, wall thicknesses, and lengths, and can arrange custom dimensions, end finishing, surface treatment, inspection services, and export packaging according to customer requirements.
