API 5L X60 Pipe is a steel pipe used in the oil and gas industry for transporting oxygen, water, petroleum, and other media, conforming to API SPEC 5L and GB/T 9711 standards. Its outer diameter ranges from 8 inches to 1240 millimeters, with wall thicknesses from 1 to 200 millimeters. Materials encompass multiple grades, including Grade B, X42 to X70, with the X60 grade offering both strength and toughness, suitable for extreme environments such as deep sea and polar regions.
As a premier supplier, Baohui provides API 5L X60-compliant PSL1 and PSL2 pipelines to meet diverse onshore and offshore project requirements. Whether your project demands seamless pipes (SMLS), electric resistance welded pipes (ERW), or long submerged arc welded pipes (LSAW), our products are specially engineered to withstand high pressures and harsh environmental conditions.

Manufacturing Processes
1. Seamless Pipe (SMLS) Production Process
Hot Rolling Process: Round billet heating → piercing → elongating → sizing → cooling.
Cold Drawing Process: Suitable for small-diameter, high-precision pipes.
Heat Treatment: Normalizing or Quenching & Tempering to optimize microstructure.
Advantages: Weld seam-free, uniform wall thickness, high-pressure-bearing capacity.
2. Longitudinal Welded Pipe (LSAW) Production Process
JCOE/UOE forming process.
Pre-bending → forming → welding → expanding.
Internal and external double-sided submerged arc welding.
Suitable for large-diameter, heavy-wall pipes.
3. Spiral Welded Pipe (SSAW) Production Process
Spiral forming from a hot-rolled steel coil.
Continuous submerged arc welding.
Online ultrasonic testing.
Cost-effective and flexible production.
