API 5L Grade X42 pipes are robust carbon steel pipes designed to meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) 5L standard, specifically for the transportation of gas, water, and oil through pipelines. These pipes are built to endure high pressure and tough environmental conditions, making them a perfect fit for the oil and gas industries around the globe. Irfan Pipes and Tubes, located in Istanbul, Turkey, offers top-notch Grade X42 pipes that boast precise dimensions, outstanding mechanical properties, and adherence to international standards. Their durability, ease of welding, and resistance to corrosion guarantee reliable performance in crucial pipeline and infrastructure projects.
Typically, API 5L Grade X42 pipes contain carbon levels of up to 0.26%, with a maximum manganese content of 1.2%, and trace amounts of phosphorus (≤0.03%) and sulfur (≤0.03%). This composition strikes a solid balance between strength and toughness. The mechanical properties include a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa and tensile strength that ranges from 415 to 560 MPa. Additionally, these pipes exhibit good elongation (at least 23%), which allows for flexibility under stress. These characteristics make Grade X42 pipes particularly well-suited for high-pressure transmission pipelines and demanding industrial applications.
