Steel for tubes and pipelines
According to standard EN 10020, steel is defined as a material, where the weight
percentage of iron is higher than that of any other element, and carbon content (C) is
less than 2%, which is the usual boundary between steel and cast iron.
According to EN 10027-1 standard steel markings are divided into two main groups:

13/04/2019 Steel grades for tube production
Steels with specified impact strength properties (fine grain) E275K2, E355K2
- K2 - guaranteed value of impact strength 40J (K) at -20 ° C temperature
Non-alloy steel
(with the exception of free-cutting steel)
letter C and the number corresponding to 100 times the mean range value specified for
the content of carbon (C22)
Non-alloy steel
containing Mn> 1% and alloy steels content of individual alloying elements below
5%
a) number corresponding to 100 times the carbon content
b) chemical symbols of alloying elements in order of decreasing content of elements
c) numbers are set up by the alloying elements content (25CrMo4)
The EN ECISS IC10 Standard provides additional symbols for steels (Groups 1 and 2).
These symbols are placed at the end of the mark of the steel (S 275 J0).
In addition, symbols are added to steel products. These are separated from the
previous symbols by a plus sign (S 275 J0+A).
Carbon equivalent
Based on the agreement maximum value of carbon equivalent (CEV) as a measure of
the weldability of steel according to the formula may be set up:
CEQ = C + Mn /6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15
