B31.3 Ferrous, ASME B31.3, 2008, API 5L:
Type/Grade
A, B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80

RE: What is 5L in API 5L Standard

Yes; "5" for Committee 5 OCTG (oil country tubular goods) and L for line pipe. Formerly there was 5L with grade A and B; and a second spec ,5LX ,containing X42 and higher strengths. These were combined into a new 5L. No user used Grade A but the mills insisted it stay in the spec.
Other Com. 5 specs; 5D- drill pipe, 5CT- Casing and Tubing.
