Located in the heart of Hamilton’s industrial sector, Latham Steel has built a reputation as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of robust steel solutions. We take particular pride in producing our API 5L Grade B PSL1 pipe, a fundamental component crafted to meet the demanding needs of various sectors. This pipe represents our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality materials that form the backbone of critical infrastructure and industrial projects, providing strength and durability you can count on from a local New Zealand source.
The composition of this pipe is a carefully balanced carbon-manganese steel, designed for reliable performance. Its mechanical properties are what make it a go-to choice, offering a specified minimum yield strength of 35,000 psi, which ensures it can handle significant pressure and stress. This combination of strength and ductility makes the pipe tough yet workable, suitable for a range of fabrication and installation requirements while consistently adhering to the established API 5L standard.
