API-5L-B, DSAW / A672 GR.60 CLASS 22

[angel14]

Hi,

I am reading a specification giving me the choice between two type of pipe, API-5L-B, DSAW or A672 Gr.60 Class 22. Does somebody knows what is the major mechanical difference between this two kind of pipe ?

Thanks

SMYS - API GrB: 241 A672 Gr60: 220 (Assuming that you are comparing PSL 1)

A670 Cl22 is in the stress relieved condition whereas 5L B is unlikely to be.
