API SPEC 5L: In API SPEC 5L 46th Edition, it is defined the scope
as:”Requirements for the manufacture of two product specification level (PSL1 and PSL2) of
seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum
and natural gas industries. This standard is not applicable to cast pipe.
ISO 3183:This International Standard specifies requirements for the
manufacture of two product specification levels(PSL 1 and PSL 2) of seamless and welded
steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas
industries.This International Standard is not applicable to cast pipe.
EN 10208 Steel pipes for pipelines for combustible fluids are used for transporting gas, oil, combustible fluids with specific pressure in the mining, chemical, and power engineering industry.
