API PIPE PRODUCTION LINE
API steel pipe is a special steel pipe for oil and gas industry produced according to American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, mainly meeting API 5L pipeline pipe standards. It is suitable for oil and gas transportation, oil field gathering and transportation, pipeline construction and high pressure fluid supply. With stable material, high strength and excellent weldability, it can meet the stringent requirements of petroleum, petrochemical and power generation industries.
