Marine API Line Pipes
Marine API line pipes are a sort of marine steel pipes certified by leading classification societies. They are applied to convey gas,water and oil. The marine API line pipes are manufactured according to the standard API SPEC 5L.We are able to supply other plain-endline pipes in line with GB/T 9711 with a broad range of specifications O.D. 168.3 ~ 323.9mm and W.T. 5.2 ~ 28.83mm.
If you have any specific requirements, we are able to customize pipe sizes. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
