recently we are dealing one order for line pipe for API5L X56 and X52.
Client need LSAW welded pipe with 12 meter length. But During this time the thickness is heavy. Like 609.6*25.4mm. For this thickness, seamless pipe is ok . And price is not too much difference. so we talked with Customer. But Customer insist their mind. so we accept order and check with production department.
As you know, now Chinese Spring Festival will be coming. Mostly mills don't receive order. we have checked many mills for steel plate and find for Customer. Finally Success.
Now we are dealing this order will send good on March . If interested , contact with us.

Tolerance
Test Requirement
Hydrostatic test
Pipe to withstand a hydrostatic test without leakage through the weld seam or the pipe body. Jointers need not be hydrostatic tested provide the pipe sections used were successfully tested.
Bend test
No cracks shall occur in any portion of the test piece and no opening of the weld shall occur.
Flattening test
Acceptance criteria for flattening test shall be:
- EW pipes D<12.750 in:
- X60 with T 500in. There shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 66% of the original outside diameter. For all grades and wall, 50%.
- For pipe with a D/t > 10, there shall be no opening of the weld before the distance between the plates is less than 30% of the original outside diameter.
- For other sizes refer to the full API 5L specification.
CVN impact test for PSL2
Many PSL2 pipe sizes and grades require CVN. Seamless pipe is to be tested in the body. Welded pipe is to be tested in the body, pipe weld and heat-affected zone. Refer to the full API 5L specification for the chart of sizes and grades and required absorbed energy values.
