API 5L Specification Line Pipe (2) – PSL1 & PSL2 Product Specification Levels

Level PSL 1 provides a standard quality level for line pipe. Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory requirements for chemical composition, notch toughness and strength properties and additional NDE. Requirements that apply to only PSL 1 or to only PSL 2 are so designated. Requirements that are not designated to a specific PSL designation apply to both PSL 1 and PSL 2. read more →

Structural Steel Applications: S235, S275, S355 (4)

Structural steels are used in many ways and their application can be diverse. They are particularly useful because they offer the unique combination of good welding properties with guaranteed strengths. Structural Steel is an extremely adaptable product and is often favoured by the engineer trying to maximise strength or s structure while minimising its weight. read more →

Structural Steel: S235, S275, S355 (3) – Yield Strength & Tensile Strength

The Mechanical Properties of Structural Steel are fundamental to its classification and hence, application. Even though Chemical Composition is a dominant Factor of the Mechanical Properties of steel, it is also very important to understand the minimum standards for the Mechanical Properties (Performance characteristics) such as; Yield Strength and Tensile Strength. read more →
