In American Petroleum Institute API 5L standard and American Mechanical Engineers Association ASME B36.10 standard, pipe sizes and weights are the same.
Companies producing steel pipes require API 5L audits from authorized institutions to evaluate their ability to comply with the API 5L standard. An API monogram is given to pipe factories that successfully pass this inspection. This monogram has an expiration date.
In brief, the API 5L specification published by the American Petroleum Institute for line pipe sets requirements for seamless and welded steel pipe used for oil and gas transportation systems. This certification program requires detailed tests, including hydrostatic testing, non-destructive testing and destructive testing. Comply with API 5L standard it provides businesses with cost savings in steel pipe projects.
