PRODUCT SPECIFICATION LEVEL (PSL)

PSL: Abbreviation for product specification level.

API 5L pipes specification establishes requirements for two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2). These two PSL designations define different levels of standard technical requirements. PSL 2 has mandatory requirements for carbon equivalent ( CE ), notch toughness, maximum yield strength, and maximum tensile strength.

GRADES

The grades covered by api 5l specification are the standard Grades B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70.
