With a strong commitment to quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction, Shalan Steel ensures that they deliver reliable, code-compliant pipeline materials throughout Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Clients appreciate the company’s precision in manufacturing, consistent performance, and timely delivery, especially for demanding applications.
The Carbon Steel API X42 5L PSL 2 Pipes are produced in line with the American Petroleum Institute’s 5L specification, making them perfect for pressure pipeline systems. These pipes boast a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa and a tensile strength that ranges from 415 to 655 MPa. Their chemical composition is carefully controlled, featuring low carbon content (maximum 0.28%) and balanced amounts of manganese and other microalloying elements to guarantee strength, toughness, and excellent weldability. The PSL 2 pipes come with additional requirements, such as notch toughness, improved chemical uniformity, and stricter inspection protocols, making them suitable for more critical and demanding environments.
