Weldable structural steels for fixed offshore structures - Technical delivery conditions

This European Standard specifies requirements for weldable structural steels to be used in the fabrication of fixed offshore structures in the form of plates up to and including 150 mm thick. It also specifies sections up to 63 mm thick except for sections delivered in the as-rolled condition which are permitted up to 25 mm thick only. Seamless hollow sections up to and including 40 mm thick and high frequency electric resistance welded hollow sections up to and including 20 mm thick are specified. Greater thicknesses for sections and hollow sections may be agreed, provided the technical requirements of this European Standard are maintained.
For plates the thickness limitations are:
S355G2+N, S355G5+M, - up to and including 20 mm
S355G3+N, S355G6+M - up to and including 40 mm
S355G7+N, S355G8+N, S355G9+N, S355G10+N - up to and including 150 mm
S355G7+M, S355G8+M, S355G9+M, S355G10+M - up to and including 100 mm
S420G1+Q, S420G1+M, S420G2+Q, S420G2+M - up to and including 100 mm
S460G1+Q, S460G1+M, S460G2+Q, S460G2+M - up to and including 100 mm
The standard is applicable to steels for offshore structures, designed to operate in the offshore sector but not to steels supplied for the fabrication of subsea pipelines, risers, process equipment, process piping, and other utilities. It is primarily applicable to the North Sea Sector, but may also be applicable in other areas provided that due consideration is given to local conditions e.g. temperature.
In the case of hollow sections formed from plate with the seam fusion welded, this European standard covers only the requirements of the plate material.
Minimum yield strengths up to 460 MPa are specified together with low temperature impact properties at temperatures down to -40 °C.
This European standard applies to material supplied ex-mill or from merchant's stock.

sections up to 63 mm thick except for sections delivered in the as-rolled condition which are permitted up
to 25 mm thick only. Seamless hollow sections up to and including 40 mm thick and high frequency
electric resistance welded hollow sections up to and including 20 mm thick are specified. Greater
thicknesses for sections and hollow sections may be agreed, provided the technical requirements of this
European Standard are maintained.
For plates the thickness limitations are:
S355G2+N, S355G5+M, - up to and including 20 mm
S355G3+N, S355G6+M - up to and including 40 mm
S355G7+N, S355G8+N, S355G9+N, S355G10+N - up to and including 150 mm

not to steels supplied for the fabrication of subsea pipelines, risers, process equipment, process piping,
and other utilities. It is primarily applicable to the North Sea Sector, but may also be applicable in other
areas provided that due consideration is given to local conditions e.g. temperature.
In the case of hollow sections formed from plate with the seam fusion welded, this European standard
covers only the requirements of the plate material.

e
values measured at –20 °C, supplied in the normalized or normalized rolled condition.
b) Plate to grade S355G6+M
Plate with few changes from EN 10113-3 and with minimum specified R = 355 MPa and impact
e
values measured at –40 °C, supplied in the thermomechanically rolled condition.
7.3.2 Plates of groups 2 and 3
Plates shall be supplied in the furnace normalized (+N), thermomechanically rolled (+M) or quenched and
tempered (+Q) condition. The customer shall specify the appropriate grade at the time of enquiry and
order.
Delivery condition (+N) is limited to a maximum thickness of 150 mm and delivery conditions (+M) and
(+Q) to 100 mm.
See option 5.
Examples:
a) Plate to grade S355G7+N (or S355G7+M)
Plate substantially modified from EN 10113-2 (or EN 10113-3) and with minimum specified
R = 355 MPa and impact values measured at –40 °C, supplied in the normalized or normalized
e
rolled (or thermomechanically rolled) condition.
NOTE The normalized rolled condition is only permitted when Option 5 has been called up.

specified through-thickness properties, supplied in the quenched and tempered (or
thermomechanically rolled) condition.
7.3.3 Sections
Sections shall be supplied in the as-rolled, normalized/normalized rolled (+N) or thermomechanically
rolled (+M) condition as shown in Tables 6 and 7, at the manufacturer’s discretion.
The as-rolled delivery condition is limited to a maximum thickness of 25 mm.
7.3.4 Hollow sections
Hollow sections shall be supplied in the normalized/normalized rolled (+N) or quenched and tempered
(+Q) condition as shown in Tables 8 to 11 at the manufacturer’s discretion.
NOTE S420 and S460 grades are normally only available in circular form.
8 Requirements
8.1 General
In addition to the requirements of this European Standard, the general technical delivery requirements
specified in EN 10021 also apply.
8.2 Chemical composition
8.2.1 Ladle analysis
a) The chemical composition for all qualities determined by ladle analysis shall comply with the
values in Tables 4, 6, 8 and 10.
b) For residual element control in steels of groups 2 and 3, boron (B) shall not be intentionally
added to the steel. The deliberate addition of any elements other than those listed in Tables 4, 6,
8 and 10 shall not be permitted.
c) When a restricted ladle analysis is agreed for steels of groups 2 and 3, the steel shall comply with
the agreed analysis range.
See option 7.
8.2.2 Product analysis
8.2.2.1 Steels of group 1
Product analysis shall not be carried out except when option 8 is specified.
