HSS Substitute- API5L vs API2B

HSS Substitute- API5L vs API2B

(OP)
Hello all,

I have a question regarding the differences between API5L vs 2B.

Currently I only have the Specification for 5L and I am curious if in either the US or Canada you can use these members in structural applications?
Or if pipe is being used in a structural application does it have to fall under the 2B specification. Not entirely sure what would be the differences between the two.

Also if the answer to the above question is yes, is the range of selection of sizes and yielding strengths similar between the two specifications?
Can the Gradex52, and up, be achieved with 2B Spec?

Any help would be appreciated!
