    API-2W grade 50 high yield structural plates are intended for use in fixed offshore structures operating in the offshore sector. The plates are produced using thermo-mechanical controlled processing to API 2W 2006 standards and have a minimum yield of 345-517 MPa depending on thickness. The plates offer enhanced through thickness ductility and impact values down to -40°C and their primary use is in tubular joints, stiffened plate construction, and other intersections subject to tension. Various supplementary requirements and testing options are available.

    High yield structural Plates API-2W grade 50


    API-2W grade 50 high yield structural plates are intended for (but not limited to) use in fixed offshore structures, designed to
    operate in the offshore sector.

    Applicable codes and standards


    API 2W, 2006 edition specifies high strength steel plates for offshore structures, produced by thermo-mechanical controlled
    processing.

    Grade

    Grade 50 LS Z35

    Minimum Yield (expressed in ksi)

    API 2W steels are intended for


    fabrication primarily by cold forming
    and welding.

    called for via option S4.
    Min Tensile 358 MPa
    (=80% of 448 MPa).

    Heat analysis for Sulphur shall


    be max 0,006% when specified
    via option S5. TTP testing is not
    mandatory. This should be
    specified via option S4.

    The primary use of these steels is in tubular joints, stiffened plate construction and other intersections where portions of the plate will be subject to tension in the
    thickness direction. Supplementary requirement S4 provides for through-thickness testing of plates and specifies limits for acceptance. This steel offers enhanced
    through thickness ductility and impact values verified at minus -40C.
