I'm working on a project for a steel pipe structure and ordered A53 Grade B or API5L steel pipe of diameter 1 1/4". The company I'm ordering from only has API2B Steel piping. I'm unfamiliar with the differences in specs and standards between the two, will API2B be sufficient? How do the yield and tensile strengths differ? Please cite any sources or relevant charts/tables so I can show verification.
