  API 5L steel pipe standards are A25, A, B and "X" Grades such as X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80 and so on. The two-digit number following the "X" indicates the Minimum Yield Strength (in 000's psi) of pipe produced to this grade. Some people really confused about the X42 and X52, today here I will show you the comparison between them.

  API 5L Grade X52 Pipe Specification (PSL1, PSL2) ​API 5L Grade X52 pipes have superior mechanical strength with a minimum yield strength of about 360 MPA. These grade pipes are superior to API 5L Grade B, API 5L Grade X42 and API 5L Grade X46 pipe concerning chemical and mechanical properties.

  API 5L X42 line pipe and API 5L X52 line pipe (Seamless and welded pipe) of all grades have PSL1 and PSL2 two product specifications, they are different on chemical composition, manufacturing processes, mechanical strength, heat treatment, test records, traceability, etc. Actually, X42 and X52 etc. denote the minimum yield strength of the pipe steel. The steel pipe grade X42  has the minimum yield strength of 42 kilopound/square inch and X52 has 52,000 ksi.

ANSI seamless steel pipe‌ is a kind of seamless steel pipe produced in accordance with the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The expression methods of its wall thickness grade series vary in different implementation standards. ANSI seamless steel pipes can withstand ultra-high pressure and are designed according to pressure requirements. They are usually used in high-temperature and high-pressure equipment such as high-pressure oil pipes and boiler tubes.

API 5L Gr.B Sch 40 and Sch 80 pipe most commonly used pipe schedule (SCH) is a measure of a steel pipe’s nominal wall thickness.In the past, metal fabricators used three pipe dimensions — standard, extra strong, and double extra strong. Just having these three undetermined dimensions wasn’t helpful, though. So today, steel pipes come in 14 different schedules.
