API 5L X56 / X60 Pipeline Steel Plate for Medium to High Pressure Transport

Product Overview

API 5L X56 steel plate and API 5L X60 steel plate are widely used in medium to high-pressure pipeline systems, including long-distance oil & gas transmission, regional distribution networks, and industrial pipeline infrastructure.

These grades combine high strength, good weldability, and resistance to pressure fluctuations, making them suitable for demanding environments such as onshore and offshore pipelines, refineries, and petrochemical facilities.

As part of the API 5L steel plate family, X56 and X60 comply with strict requirements on toughness, tensile strength, and chemical composition. Compared with lower-grade materials like X42 or X52, they deliver enhanced performance for complex and long-span pipeline installations.

CJM offers:

• Large-volume supply for EPC and infrastructure projects
• Custom services including cutting, beveling, ultrasonic testing
• Complete MTCs (Mill Test Certificates) and full quality traceability
• Fast delivery to over 40 countries and regions, including Europe, the U.S., Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America
