Based on the results of product analysis, for welded pipes with a wall thickness >20.0 mm, the limit value of carbon equivalent shall be determined by agreement. For carbon content C > 0.12 % use CEiiw, for carbon content C ≤ 0.12 % use CEpcm.
b. For every 0.01 % decrease in carbon content over the specified maximum carbon content, the manganese content is allowed to increase by 0.05 % over the specified maximum manganese content. For steel grades ≥ L245 (B), but ≤ L360 (X52), the maximum manganese content shall be 1.65 %; for steel grades > L360 (X52), but < L485 (X70), the maximum manganese content shall be 1.75%; for steel grades For grades >L360 (X52), but
L555 (X80), the maximum manganese content is 2.20%. c. Nb+V ≤ 0.06 %, unless otherwise agreed.
