API-5L ERW Steel Pipe Manufacturers from IBC Metal Group

Brief Introduction of API-5L ERW Steel Pipe

This API 5L ERW steel pipe designed for oil and gas pipelines for various working environments. It generally made of carbon steel and meets API SPEC 5L specifications. It intended for petroleum and natural gas industries, oil industries requirements for transportation, and expected to work in extreme conditions, low and high temperatures, corrosion resistance in corrosion environments, and sour services in H2S environments.
