Tricon Steel & Alloys is the leading supplier and manufacturer of API 5L X52 Pipes, widely employed across diverse industries. Whether in chemical processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, or other sectors, these pipes stand out as a top-tier selection, demonstrating exceptional reliability and resilience in crucial applications.

API 5L X52 pipes are high-strength carbon steel pipes that conform to the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L. These pipes convey gas, water, and oil in the oil and natural gas industries. Known for their excellent mechanical properties and durability, API 5L X52 pipes are commonly used in offshore and onshore pipeline projects, as well as in the transportation of hydrocarbons.

High yield strength, which qualifies API 5L Carbon Steel X52 pipes for use in harsh conditions with high pressures and temperatures, is one of their primary characteristics. These pipes have good formability and weldability, making installation and maintenance simple. To satisfy the unique needs of diverse applications, they are offered in a range of sizes and wall thicknesses.

API 5L Carbon Steel X52 pipes are widely used in the oil and gas industry for transporting natural gas, oil, and water in both onshore and offshore applications. They are also employed in chemical processing, construction, and infrastructure projects requiring high-strength, corrosion-resistant piping. Additionally, these pipes find utility in deepwater drilling operations due to their durability and reliability.

API 5L X52 Pipe

API 5L Carbon Steel X52 pipes undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the required standards for quality and performance. Common tests include chemical composition analysis, tensile testing, impact testing, hydrostatic testing, and non-destructive testing such as ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle inspection. These tests help verify the pipes' integrity and ensure they can withstand the operational stresses.

API 5L X52 Pipe Manufacturing Process

The Rolling and Welding Stage

To begin our process, we first need to go through the rolling and welding stage. The stainless steel is placed through a checking process and cut at the edges in this stage.

Cleaning and Warming Stage

The rolled stainless steel pipes thus manufactured are cut to the required lengths depending upon the industrial demand.

Cold-Drawing Stage

Sometimes, the required size isn’t obtained when the steel is brought through the mill directly. When using the cold-drawing process, the desired size is achieved when the pipes and tubing are coated with oxalic and soap solution and dragged over die plugs—the oxalic and soap solution help reduce friction when going through the cold cycle.

The Finishing Process

The final process is the finisher. Once the process of manufacturing stainless steel pipes and tubing is completed, you’ll now have to take them to a jet printer.
