* Manganese content can be increased by 0.05% for every 0.01% reduction in carbon content, up to a maximum of 1.65%.

* No intentional addition of boron is allowed, residual B≤0.001%

Carbon equivalent :

CEP cm : ≤0.25

CEIIW : ≤0.43

* Use CE when the carbon content is greater than 0.12%, and use CE IIW whenP cm the carbon content is less than or equal to 0.12%.

CEP cm = C+Si/30+Mn/20+Cu/20+Ni/60+Cr/20+Mo/15+V/10+5B

If the result of the smelting analysis of B is less than 0.0005%, then there is no need to include the analysis of element B in the product analysis, and the B content can be treated as zero in the carbon equivalent CEP cm  calculation.

CEIIW =C+Mn/6 (C+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/ 15

Weld tensile strength of welded steel pipe: ≥460Mpa

Minimum elongation: = 1940* AXC0.2/4600.9 , where AXC  is the cross-sectional area of the tensile sample.
