Young's modulus for API 5L Line Pipes
Young's modulus for API 5L Line Pipes
(OP)
I was looking for Young's Modulus (E) for API 5L X65 line pipe in API 5L standard. However, it is not stated explicitly.
After googling, I found the value to be 206 GPa. Can someone please provide an explanation why it is not stated in the API 5L Standard?

RE: Young's modulus for API 5L Line Pipes
Because the modulus of elasticity is material dependant property, and API Stds. cover many different materials, which change from time to time. You should go to the particular material specs. and stds. for these kinds of mechanical properties.

API 5L standard incorporates manufacturing processes, chemical compositions, testing etc of different pipeline materials. There are no separate standard for the pipeline materials such as X56 and X65.

you must get smarter than the software you're using.
