Some technical informations for Api line pipe production,

For the natural gas pipe line and to produce line pipes, the most important and popular standard specification is API. What is the API standard and API psl 1 and psl 2 pipes? This article is based on API Spec 5L, 46th Edition. to prepare of this document. The API technical committee maintained the concept of two basic levels of standard technical requirements for line pipe expressed as two product specification and quality levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2).

How do PSL 1 and PSL 2 Pipes work? Inspector Turkey

Level PSL 1 provides a standard quality level for line pipe. Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory requirements for higher quality for chemical composition, notch toughness and strength properties and additional NDT. Requirements that apply to only PSL 1 or to only PSL 2 are so designated. Requirements that are not designated to a specific PSL designation apply to both PSL 1 and PSL 2 pipe.

The API technical committee also recognized that the petroleum and natural gas industry often specifies additional requirements for particular applications.

For other specific requierment.

In order to accommodate such needs, optional additional requirements for special applications are available, as follows: ⎯ PSL 2 pipe ordered with a qualified manufacturing procedure (Annex B), the requirements of which have been enhanced to include verification detail of critical processes in the production of feedstock material.

line pipe manufacture and product testing and inspection; API pipes demanded with resistance to ductile fracture propagation in gas pipelines (Annex G); PipeS for sour service (Annex H); ⎯ Ordered as “Through the Flowline” (TFL) pipe (An. I); ⎯ PSL 2 pipes required for offshore service (Annex J);

Different types of line pipes | Inspector Turkey

Some specific API pipes.The following new annex is added to this Standard. – Equations for threaded and coupled pipe and background equations for guided bend and CVN test (Annex P). The requirements of the annex apply only when specified on the purchase order. When pipe is ordered for dual or multiple applications, the requirements of more than one annex for special applications can be invoked.

If the Technical conflict arises between purchaser and vendor!

In such instances, if a technical conflict arises due to applying the requirements of more than one annex for special applications, the most stringent requirement applicable to the intended service shall apply.

This Standard does not provide guidance on when it is necessary to specify the above supplementary requirements. Instead, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify, based upon the intended use and design requirements, which, if any, of the supplementary requirements apply for a particular and specific purchase orders.

l love to be inspector for higher quality requirments and sharing experiences of years!

And also l am ready for your inspection assignments!
