API 5L X60 ERW line pipe is a medium‑high‑strength carbon steel pipe manufactured to meet API 5L requirements (corresponding to ISO 3183 X60 / L415). It is designed primarily for oil and gas transmission systems and is available in welded (ERW), seamless (SMLS) and LSAW forms to suit different project needs and specifications.
