a In case of dispute, laboratory Rockwell C hardness testing shall be used as the referee method.
b No hardness limits are specified, but the maximum variation is restricted as a manufacturing control in accordance with 7.8 and 7.9.
c For through-wall hardness tests of grades L80 (all types), C90, T95 and C110, the requirements stated in HRC scale are for maximum mean hardness number.

One of the main benefits of API5L X42, X46, X52 welded steel pipe is its high strength. This type of pipe is made from carbon steel, which is known for its strength and durability. It can withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for use in gas and oil pipelines. The high strength of API5L X42, X46, X52 welded steel pipe ensures that it can safely transport gas and oil without any leaks or failures. Carbon Steel PipeAnother benefit of API5L X42, X46, X52 welded steel pipe is its resistance to corrosion. Corrosion is a major concern in gas and oil pipelines, as it can lead to leaks and failures. However, API5L X42, X46, X52 welded steel pipe is specially designed to resist corrosion. It is coated with anti-corrosion materials, such as epoxy or zinc, which protect the pipe from the corrosive effects of the gas and oil it transports. This ensures that the pipe remains in good condition and extends its lifespan.
