API 5L X46 Pipe is a part of the American Petroleum Institute specifications for steel pipes. The API 5L specification includes various grades, and the X range signifies the minimum yield strength required for pipes in those grades. In the case of X46, the minimum yield strength is 46,000 psi (or 46KSI), indicating its relatively higher strength compared to many other grades.

We are trusted manufacturer and supplier of API 5L X46 Pipes, offering them in different product specification levels. The API 5L specification has two levels: PSL1 and PSL2. The PSL2 level has stricter and more comprehensive testing and additional mechanical properties requirements, making it superior in terms of mechanical properties compared to PSL1.

API 5L X46 PSL2 pipes are commonly used in oil, gas, and water transmission lines. Due to their high strength and durability, these pipes are often referred to as line pipes. They are specifically designed to transport these fluids over extended distances, ensuring reliable and efficient transmission.

We ensures the quality and compliance of its API 5L X46 pipes with industry standards. These pipes are manufactured to meet the specific requirements of various applications in the oil and gas industry, providing robust and reliable solutions for fluid transmission.

Whether it is for onshore or offshore projects, We offers a wide range of API 5L X46 pipes, catering to different project specifications and customer needs.

The minimum yield strength of API 5L X46 is 46,000 psi (or 46 KSI), while the minimum tensile strength is 63,000 psi. These values highlight the strength and reliability of API 5L X46 pipes.

API 5L Grade X46 material is available in both seamless and welded types, providing options to meet different project requirements.

The Yield to Tensile Ratio of Grade X46 is approximately 0.93, indicating a strong material that can withstand high-pressure applications. This ratio is an important factor in evaluating the mechanical properties of the steel.

API 5L X46 pipes are available in both PSL1 and PSL2 production specifications. The PSL1 specification focuses on standard requirements, while PSL2 includes additional testing and stricter mechanical property requirements.

Solitaire Overseas as a reputable supplier, provides a wide range of API 5L X46 pipes in compliance with the relevant specifications. They have the expertise and capability to meet customer demands in terms of quality, specifications, and timely delivery.
