API 5L X60 is a common high grade pipe material in API 5L specifciations for oil and gas transmissions. It’s also called L415 pipe, which named by yield strength minimum in 415 Mpa (60,200 psi). It covers manufacturing types in seamless (hot rolled and colde rolled), and welded in ERW, LSAW, SSAW (HSAW).X60 or L415 pipe used for the oil and gas transportation systems and petroleum industries. Market survey shows requirements quantity for API 5L X60 pipe is in big volume.

The chemical property for API 5L X60 L415 the content is same with API 5L X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70.
In case of API 5L X60 PSL1 pipe welded types:
Maximum C ≤ 0.26%, Si ≤ 0.45, Mn ≤ 1.4%, P ≤ 0.030%, S ≤ 0.030%, Cu ≤ 0.50%, Nickel ≤ 0.50%, Cr ≤ 0.50%, Mo ≤ 0.15%, and the sum of the Nb, V, Ti shall be ≤ 0.06%. If the maximum content of the C reduce 0.01%, Mn will be increased 0.05% accordingly until to the maximum of 2.00% for API 5L Grade X60 PSL1 steel line pipes.
In case in PSL2 under maximum percentage:
C ≤ 0.12, Si ≤ 0.45, Mn ≤ 1.4, P ≤ 0.025, S ≤ 0.015, CEq ≤ 0.43, and CEp ≤ 0.25. Unless otherwise agreed, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo shall be less or equal to 0.50%. Nb + V + Ti ≤ 0.15%.
GNEE supplies API 5L X60 pipe for emergency requirements with stock in small quantity, with big quantity we can also coordinate to produce in the soonest time, and with coatings of FBE or 3PE.
