API SPEC 5LD-2015 (R2020)

This specification covers seamless and welded clad steel line pipe and lined steel line pipe with enhancedcorrosion-resistant properties suitable for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and naturalgas industries. The clad and lined steel line pipe specified herein is composed of a carbon steel backing orbase material outside (in some cases inside and/or outside) and a corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) layer orlining inside of the pipe. The base material conforms to API 5L (45th Ed.), product specification level (PSL) 2and applicable annex(es), except as modified herein.

Grades of base material covered by this specification include X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80, andgrades intermediate to these. Grades of the CRA layer are LC 1812, 2205, 2506, 2242, 2262, unifiednumbering system (UNS) S31703, UNS N08904, UNS N10276, Alloy 31™1 (UNS N08031), Alloy 59 (UNSN06059), Alloy 254 SMO™ 11 (UNS S31254), Alloy 400 (UNS N04400), AL6NX (UNS N08367), and EN1.4529 (UNS N08926). Other grades are subject to agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.

The delivered product usually has square ends, but other special ends may be furnished by agreementbetween the purchaser and manufacturer. Included are nominal pipe sizes (NPS) 25 mm (1 in.) through 2134mm (84 in.). Sizes greater than 2134 mm (84 in.) are outside of the range of API 5L (45th Ed.) but may besupplied up to 2500 mm (100 in.) by agreement, including requirements for materials.
