API 5L Grade X42 Pipe Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties

API 5L Grade X42 pipe has the following chemical composition and mechanical properties: It has a carbon content of 0.28% maximum and a manganese content of 1.30% maximum for seamless pipe, and 0.26% carbon and 1.30% manganese maximum for welded pipe. The phosphorus content is 0.030% maximum and the sulfur content is 0.030% maximum. The minimum yield strength is 290 MPa and the minimum tensile strength is 415 MPa for the pipe body and weld seam. For PSL 2 pipe, grades X42R, X42N, and X42Q have specified minimum and maximum yield and tensile strengths.
