[MW:15015] Re: Differance between PSL1 AND PSL2 PIPE/SHORT LENGTH JOINTES PIPE ISSUE/PSL2 CARBON STEEL PIPE

Hi there,

 

I am wondering what is the difference between API system PSL 1 and CSA system Category I? Also, the PSL 2 and Category II? The only thing I aware is the temp. for Impact test which is 0 deg. c for PSL 2 but -45 deg. c for Category II. is that all?

 

Cheers guys!
