Detailed
As a leading SSAW pipe manufacturer, we supply API 5L X65 PSL1 & PSL2 spiral welded pipes in OD from 219mm to 3500mm for oil & gas transmission projects worldwide.
4 Bullet Points:
-> Focus on SSAW: Single production line, industry-leading process maturity
-> Large caliber advantage: outer diameter can reach 3500mm, wall thickness can reach 25.4mm
-> PSL2+NACE MR0175 acid working condition optional
-> The factory has CNAS inspection centers: SGS/BV/TUV/DNV
X65 SSAW Pipe — High Strength Meets Large Diameter Economics
API 5L X65 is a high-strength line pipe grade with a minimum yield strength of 65,000 psi (450 MPa). This grade is widely specified for long-distance oil and gas transmission pipelines where higher operating pressures and thinner wall thicknesses are required to optimize project economics.
When it comes to manufacturing X65 in large diameters, SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) is recognized as one of the most cost-effective and industrially mature processes available. Unlike LSAW or UOE pipes, which rely on heavy plate mills, SSAW pipes are formed from hot-rolled steel coils — a raw material strategy that delivers a higher material utilization rate, better cost control, and unmatched flexibility in length and diameter combinations. For pipeline projects requiring OD ranges from 24 inches up to 138 inches, SSAW remains the preferred solution for both onshore and offshore transmission lines.
As a manufacturer dedicated exclusively to SSAW production, we do not dilute our process capability across multiple product lines. Every welding head, every forming stand, and every quality checkpoint in our mill is calibrated for spiral welding alone. This single-process focus results in:
Exceptional weld consistency — with less process variation than multi-product mills or trading companies;
Stable mechanical properties — particularly critical for high-strength grades like X65 PSL2, where Charpy impact and tensile values must stay within narrow windows;
Reliable lead times — our coil inventory and production scheduling are optimized for SSAW volumes, not split across seamless or LSAW orders.
In short, when you source API 5L X65 SSAW pipe from a focused manufacturer, you are not buying from a catalog — you are buying from a mill where this product is the core competence, not a side business.

API 5L X65 SSAW Pipe FAQs
Q1: Can X65 be made as SSAW pipe?
A: Yes. SSAW is one of the most common processes for large diameter X65 line pipe, especially above 24".
Q2: What is the difference between X65 PSL1 and PSL2?
A: PSL2 requires tighter chemistry, Charpy impact testing, and higher NDT coverage. It is mandatory for most modern pipeline projects.
Q3: Can you supply X65 SSAW for sour service?
A: Yes, we supply X65 PSL2 with NACE MR0175 compliance, including HIC and SSC testing reports.
Q4: What is the maximum diameter you can produce?
A: Up to 3500mm OD, wall thickness up to 25.4mm, length up to 12m standard.
Q5: Do you provide third-party inspection?
A: Yes. SGS, BV, TUV, DNV, and client-specified inspectors are all welcome.Our own factory has CNAS laboratory, so there is no need to wait for third-party inspection.
