API 5L PSL2 X60MO (L415M) steel pipe is for petroleum and natural gas industries’ pipeline transportation systems, especially for off-shore piping projects. API 5L X60 PSL2 line pipe shows higher performance than X60 PSL1 steel pipe as it has stricter inspection requirements, chemical composition and mechanical performance requirements.
API 5L PSL2 X60MO (L415M) carbon steel pipe has a yield strength which can be measured in PSI, which in this case could be valued at 60,200psi. Although X60 is used to indicate the strength of these pipes, they could also be referred to as L415 Pipe, with the L415 pipe identified as the pipes tensile strength in MPa. Deemed to be a fitting choice for transportation of oil, gas and water, the API 5L X60 PSL2 pipe is a strict specification pipe used by industries such as hydrocarbon, oil and natural gas industry.
