Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • ERW Welding: Seamless joints reduce leakage risks in high-pressure oil pipelines.
    • X65 Grade Steel: 30% higher tensile strength than X42, enabling deeper offshore drilling.
    • Triple Coating: Pro Model’s 3-layer FBE + PE jacket outperforms industry standards for marine corrosion resistance.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Ideal for standard oil/gas transmission in stable environments.
    • Advanced Model: Best for projects requiring bending (e.g., urban pipeline networks) and moderate corrosion protection.
    • Pro Model: Choose for ultra-deep drilling or offshore platforms where extreme pressure and corrosion resistance are critical. Example: The Pro’s X65 grade handles pressures 40% higher than traditional X42 pipes, ensuring reliability in Arctic drilling conditions.

*Pro Model’s X65 rating exceeds API X60 by 15%.
