API5L PSL1 for use with B31.1

API5L PSL1 for use with B31.1

API5L PSL1 for use with B31.1

(OP)
Is there any restrictions using API5L B PSL1 pipe in piping designed to B31.1.

I have searched the B31.1 code and found no reference to PSL1.

Is there testing etc that PSL1 leaves out that is required by b31.1?

Thanks
Kevin

RE: API5L PSL1 for use with B31.1

Review para 123.1.1 to find the B31.1 requirements on listed materials.
API 5L is listed in table 126.1, and referenced in appendix A. Hence 123.1.1(A) is satisfied.
Therefore it is acceptable to use API 5Lwithin the limits of Chapter III.

Whether PSL1 or PSL2 should be used can be derived from the requirements B31.1 puts on the pipe.
