13Cr L80 With a typical Pitting Resistance
13CR-L80 Equivalent Number (PREN) of 13,
L80-13Cr 13 Chrome is best suited for mildly
SM13CR corrosive conditions as pH, chlorides, temperature, and H2S can limit its
< 1% VM13CR
use in other environments. NACE MR0175/ISO15156 Table A.19 provides a
JFE-13Cr

Mn 25 API 5CT 13Cr recommended limit of 1.5 psi partial pressure H2S with pH ≥3.5.

Manganese Composed of 13% chromium, 13 Chrome is a low-cost corrosion resistant

SUITABLE alloy, making it especially attractive for tubing applications in offshore
APPLICATIONS: production operations where working space is limited and workover costs
are high.
