Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer and exporter of carbon steel pipes, established in 2025 with an annual export value of US$50-100 million. Our API 5L X42 ERW Carbon Steel Pipe with 1/2 inch outer diameter and 4.0mm wall thickness is specifically engineered for the demanding oil and gas industry. This pipe combines high-strength X42 grade material with precise ERW welding technology, ensuring reliable performance in pipelines, transmission lines, and structural applications. With a dedicated team of 51-100 employees and ISO9001 certification, we deliver consistent quality that meets international standards.
Our ERW pipe is manufactured using advanced high-frequency induction welding, resulting in a uniform weld seam with excellent mechanical properties. The X42 grade offers a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa (42,000 psi) and a tensile strength of 415 MPa (60,200 psi), providing the strength-to-weight ratio required for medium-pressure oil and gas systems. The 4.0mm wall thickness ensures enhanced durability and resistance to deformation under load, while the 1/2 inch outer diameter (21.3mm) is ideal for small-diameter pipelines, gathering lines, and gas distribution networks.
Key Features & Benefits
- Compliance with API 5L Standard: Manufactured in accordance with API 5L specification, suitable for both seamless and welded pipe applications in oil and gas.
- High Strength X42 Grade: Yield strength of 290 MPa ensures reliable performance under pressure and temperature variations.
- ERW Welding Process: Electric resistance welding provides a clean, strong, and defect-free weld seam, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Precise Dimensional Tolerances: Outer diameter tolerance of ±0.5% and wall thickness tolerance of ±12.5%, ensuring compatibility with fittings and valves.
- Excellent Weldability: Carbon content ≤0.22% facilitates easy field welding and fabrication.
- Corrosion Resistance Options: Available with black paint, bare finish, or oiled surface to protect against environmental factors.
- Length Customization: Standard lengths of 6m or 12m, with random lengths available upon request.
- Hydrostatic Testing: Each pipe is hydrostatically tested to 100% of specified yield strength, ensuring integrity.

The API 5L X42 ERW pipe is subjected to rigorous quality control, including visual inspection, dimensional checks, and non-destructive testing (NDT) such as ultrasonic or eddy current testing. This ensures that every pipe delivered meets the stringent requirements of the oil and gas industry. The 4.0mm wall thickness provides a robust solution for applications where higher pressure ratings are needed compared to standard schedule 40 pipes.
Applications
- Oil and gas gathering lines and transmission pipelines
- Natural gas distribution networks
- Refinery and petrochemical plant piping
- Structural support in offshore and onshore installations
- Water injection and flow lines

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between API 5L X42 and X52? X42 has a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa (42,000 psi), while X52 has 360 MPa (52,000 psi). X42 is suitable for medium-pressure applications, while X52 is used for higher pressure requirements.
- Is this pipe suitable for sour gas service (H2S)? The standard API 5L X42 PSL1 is not specifically designed for sour service. For sour gas environments, we recommend PSL2 grade with additional hardness control and HIC testing. Contact our technical team for recommendations.
- What are the available end finishes? We offer plain end (PE) and beveled end (BE) options. Beveled end is recommended for welding to ensure proper penetration.
- Can you provide third-party inspection? Yes, we can arrange third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or other accredited agencies. The cost will be quoted upon request.
- What is the standard packaging for export? Pipes are bundled with steel strapping, wrapped in waterproof material, and loaded into containers or break-bulk shipments. Each bundle is marked with grade, size, and heat number.
- What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)? Our MOQ for this size is typically 5 tons for standard lengths. For smaller quantities, please inquire with our sales team.
- Do you offer mill test certificates (MTC)? Yes, each shipment includes a mill test certificate per EN 10204 Type 3.1, showing chemical composition and mechanical properties.
- How long is the delivery time? For standard sizes in stock, delivery is within 7-15 days after order confirmation. For custom orders, lead time is 20-30 days.
