API 5L PSL2 X60M (L415M) steel pipe is for petroleum and natural gas industries’ pipeline transportation systems. API 5L X60 PSL2 line pipe shows higher performance than X60 PSL1 steel pipe as it has stricter inspection requirements, chemical composition and mechanical performance requirements.
The required minimum yield strength for API 5L PSL2 X60M (L415M) line pipe is 60,200 psi or 415 Mpa while the minimum tensile strength is around 75,400 psi or 520 Mpa. The specifications of API 5L PSL2 X60M line pipes adhere to the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization ISO 3183.
