API Tube Mills for Pipe Making & Straightening Machine

The API TUBE MILL 5L specification provides standards for pipes suitable for conveying gas, water, and oil in the natural gas and oil industries. The API SPEC 5L covers seamless and welded steel line pipe. It includes plain-end, threaded-end, belled-end tubes, through-the-flow line (TFL) pipe, and pipe with ends prepared for use with special couplings.

Pipes manufactured to ASTM 106 Grade A or B are not interchangeable with API 5L. Requirements for API 5L X grades are stronger; rolled grades are unacceptable, and rework is not allowed. Moreover, particular attention is given to toughness and toughness tests for sour services and higher pressure & temperature classes.

API Standard Specification for Line Pipe

The American Petroleum Institute specification API 5L addresses seamless and welded steel line pipe for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. API 5L is suitable for conveying gas, water, and oil.

Specifications for API 5L adhere to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 3183, standardizing pipeline transportation systems within the materials, equipment, and offshore structures for natural gas, petroleum, and petrochemical industries. When authoring the standards, the technical committee recognized that there are two basic Product Specifications Levels (PSL) of technical requirements and therefore developed PSL 1 and PSL 2. PSL 1 is a standard quality for line pipe, whereas PSL 2 contains additional chemical, mechanical properties, and testing requirements.

This specification covers A25, A, B, and “X” Grades X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80. The two-digit number following the “X” indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000’s psi) of pipe produced to this grade.

Introduction

NIRMAL OVERSEAS has earned the trust of the manufacturing industry as a leader in providing solutions for pipe production. Being a high precision and a reliable company, it focuses on API Pipe Mill technology where the quality demands are high for the industries of oil, gas and water transportation among others. Our experience in pipe machines construction allows for effective and qualitative manufacturing for different industry requirements.

What is an API Pipe Mill?

API Pipe Mill refers to a system of pipes that are produced and certified by the American Petroleum Institute and used in industries looking for durable and standardized pipes. Such pipes are necessary for transporting crude oil, natural gas, water supply, and other resources. Pipes that are certified by the American Petroleum Institute have high strength, corrosion-resistant and capable of literally any environment due to the durability of the pipes.

Benefits of API-Certified Pipes

API-certified pipes are designed with protection, security & safety, efficiency, long term durability while meeting the International standards with strict implementation of compliance requirements.

FAQs

Q1: What is the process of API Pipe Mills?

These mills typically employ automated processes to form and weld steel sheets into pipes. First, the metal is bent, straightened and welded to form a complete pipe. After the pipes have been formed, they undergo a series of quality and tensile strength tests as specified by API standards.

Q2: What is the differentiation between an API Pipe Mill and a pipe machine?

The main pipe-producing machines are ordinary and API Pipe Mill. The latter is capable of preparing a pipe to be utilized in oil and gas transport (meaning it meets the standards set by the API). Standard machines may not be capable of such performance or API certificates.

Q3: Is it possible to modify my API Pipe Mill according to my production requirements?

Sure, NIRMAL OVERSEAS provides such options. API pipe mills can also be modified to accommodate pipe length, tube wall thickness or structure, and production rate so that the machine operates according to your production requirements.

Q4: How much time does it take to fabricate pipes using these mills?

The time required to manufacture pipes is dependent on the dimensions, type and complexity of the pipes. In general, straightforward tube manufacturing is accomplished on the mills without interruption since our API pipe mills are highly productive and are therefore much faster than the older ways of production. 

Q5: Is the maintenance of the API Pipe Mills complex?

Certainly, the pipe manufacturing machines produced in our establishment are rugged and designed for easy maintenance. Periodic servicing and other maintenance will keep your mill intact for many years and we give you support for such servicing to ensure even the utmost maintenance issue is dealt with.
