API 5L X42 line pipe is also L290 steel pipe (Line Pipe in 290 Mpa yield strength). API 5L X42 is a medium grade in the API 5L specifications, which is commonly used for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
API SEPCS 5L X42 line pipe is a higher grade than API 5L Gr.B steel applied in oil and gas pipeline systems. Since API 5L has various grades up to X100, so grade X42 is an low-medium level steel, therefor it requires large quantities in most of pipelines.
API 5L X42 Line Pipe Chemical Analysis:
Grade | Material number | C max | Si max | Mn. mix | P max | S max |
X42 | 1.0484 | 0.22 | 0.45 | 0.50-1.10 | 0.04 | 0.035 |
API 5L X42 Line Pipe Mechanical Properties:
Grade | Permissible yield point ratio | Yield Strength MPa(min) | Tensile Strength MPa | Elongation % (min) |
X42 | ≤ 0.85 | 290 | 420 - 540 | 23 |
For API 5L X42 PSL1 type, the delivery conditions includes as rolled (R), normalizing rolled, thermomechanical rolled and formed, normalizing formed, normalized, and tempered or quenched and tempered.
In case API 5L X42 PSL2, delivery condition is M (thermomechanical rolled or formed), N (Normalizing), Q (Quenched).
