This document specifies requirements for weldable structural steels, in the form of plates, to be used in the fabrication of fixed offshore structures.
The following thickness limitations are given in this standard:
— S355NLO up to and including 200 mm;
— S355MLO, S420MLO, S460MLO, S500MLO up to and including 120 mm;
— S420QLO, S460QLO, S500QLO, S550QLO, S620QLO, S690QLO up to and including 150 mm.
Greater thicknesses can be agreed, provided the technical requirements of this European Standard are
maintained.
This European Standard is applicable to steels for offshore structures, designed to operate in the offshore sector, including plate for structural hollow sections (see EN 10225-4). It does not apply to plates 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. design temperature.
NOTE This document has an informative Annex F on the prequalification of steels for fixed offshore
structures in arctic areas.
Minimum yield strengths up to 690 MPa are specified together with impact properties at temperatures
down to -40 °C.Cross References:EN 10163-1EN 10079ISO 4063ISO 9712EN ISO 2566-1EN ISO 14284EN ISO 377EN 10027-1EN 10029EN 1011-1ISO 148-1ISO 3452-1ISO 6892-1ISO 14284EN ISO 4136EN ISO 6892-1EN ISO 15614-1EN 10168ISO 9934-1ISO 377EN ISO 6947ISO 643ISO 4885EN 10027-2EN ISO 3452-1ISO 15653ISO 12135ISO 15614-1ISO 6947EN 10051ISO 2566-1ISO 4136EN ISO 9934-1EN ISO 4885EN ISO 9712EN ISO 4063EN 10163-2EN 10020ISO 6507-1EN ISO 6507-1EN 10164EN 10160EN 10021EN ISO 643ISO 11484CEN/TR 10261EN ISO 148-1EN 10204EN 1011-2:2001EN 10025-6EN 10025-2EN 10025-3CEN/TR 10347EN 10025-4EN 10025-1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
