Coatings and Thread Protectors for API 5L Pipe
Coatings and Linings
If agreed, pipe will be delivered with a temporary external coating to provide protection from rusting in storage and transit.
If agreed, pipe will be delivered with a lining.

Thread Protectors
For threaded pipe with D < 60.3 mm (2.375 in.), the thread protectors shall be suitable fabric wrappings or shall be suitable metal, fiber, or plastic protectors.
For threaded pipe with D ≥ 60.3 mm (2.375 in.), the thread protectors shall be of such design,material, and mechanical strength as to protect the thread and pipe end
