(OP)
Can API 5L GR.B SAW be equivalent to SA-53 ERW? If not, could anyone tell me the equivalent material to API 5L GR.B SAW? Thanks a lot.

You can find enough in the description of each specification to determine the basic differences here,

WHAT PIPING CODE ARE YOU DESIGNING THE SYSTEM TO?
I ask that question a lot. When using the ASME B31 Pressure Piping Codes, the material must be a "listed" material.
Much pipe is sold these days with double or triple specification compliance. Sometimes you will buy API 5L Grade B seamless pipe and it will be delivered with markings showing that it complies to A-53 grade B and A-106 Grade B.
You are asking about seam welded pipe. You are asking about steam system piping. Look at B31.1 Table 102.4.3. Note that various types of seam welds are assigned different weld joint efficiency factors (E). Check out the difference in the "E" factor for SAW and ERW piping. NEVER substitute ANYTHING without the owner'd written permission.
