Somebody could indicate me which is the commercial thickness limit for API 5L X60 seamless? Is possible to find pipe with 22 mm thikness seamless? Thank in advance for your help
 
Ummmmm - what diameter ?

22mm is not a standard API 5L thickness. Check the tables in API 5L.

If you need 22mm (.866") then you are faced with 2 choices use the next standard API 5L size, which is 22.225mm (.875") or ask for a special run of pipe, which unless you have hundreds of kms, it probably won't be worth it.
