Note:1) Major difference is, In case of PSL1, Impact test is not mandatory and in case of PSL2,
Impact test is mandatory at minimum 0 deg C.
2) Further, in case of PSL2 there is a range of Yield Stress and Tensile Stress. In case of PSL1
there is a minimum value of Yield Stress and Tensile Stress
3) API 5L PSL -1 is normally used for category D or normal service fluids. i.e. cooling
water, utility water, air etc services and not required many of the testing requirements, whereas
PSL-2 pipe is used for category M fluids i.e. Hydrocarbons, Sour etc., requiring NACE
compliance, hence more costly.
