Vipul Pipes and Tubes, a Chennai-based company in India, is a reliable API 5L Carbon Steel Grade X46 Pipes manufacturer and supplier renowned for supplying high-performance piping solutions for the energy, gas, and oil industries. The pipes are produced according to API 5L specifications and can be used to transport natural gas, crude oil, and other long-distance hydrocarbons. With strong mechanical properties, durability, and weldability, Grade X46 pipes are suitable for onshore and offshore pipeline systems. Vipul Pipes provides stringent quality control, timely delivery, and customized options to satisfy a range of industrial needs.
API 5L Grade X46 Pipes are generally made of Carbon (≤0.26%), Manganese (0.9–1.6%), Phosphorus (≤0.030%), and Sulfur (≤0.030%), with minor additions of Niobium and Vanadium for increased strength. These pipes contain a minimum yield strength of 317 MPa and tensile strength of between 434 and 758 MPa. They exhibit superior toughness, formability, and corrosion resistance when subjected to severe operating conditions. Good weldability is supported by the low carbon content, while the mechanical balance makes them ideal for medium-pressure transmission systems and sustained duration in diverse environments.

Carbon Steel API 5L Grade X46 Pipes are extensively used for oil and gas transmission pipelines, petroleum transportation lines, and water supply networks. The pipes can be applied for onshore pipelines, city gas networks, refinery pipelines, and process plant piping. They are best for medium-pressure fluid transport due to their moderate strength and resistance to internal pressure. Grade X46 pipes also find application in infrastructure, power plants, and structural construction where performance consistency is a priority. Its weldability, durability, and affordability make it the go-to option for constructing long-distance pipelines and industrial fluid handling systems.
