GB/T 9711 PSL2 Grade L245Q Introduce

The GB/T 9711 steel standard is a national standard of the People's Republic of China for petroleum and natural gas industries. It was established in April 1996 and revised in 2011, replacing GB/T 3676-1986 and in part the SY/T 6 194-1996 standards. This standard is applicable to the steel pipes items for the both welded and seamless line pipes with the pipes diameters that range from the nominal diameter of 21.3mm to 606.4 mm. The pipe dimensional tolerance conformity and the standardized surface roughness values were also updated in the latest revision.

Smelting temperature:1588°C - 1462°C

Application:Oil and gas industry, steel pipe for pipeline transportation system

GB/T 9711 PSL2 Grade L245Q Material Machining Technology

The advantages of machining GB/T 9711 PSL2 Grade L245Q steel include improved product accuracy and precision, increased production efficiency, and reduced costs. In addition, the surface finish of the machined component can be enhanced, which can help to increase its longevity. On the other hand, the machining of GB/T 9711 PSL2 Grade L245Q steel can also lead to an increase in tool wear, an increase in residual stress, and even deformation of the part.
