ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M Introduce
ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M is a set of standards for steel pipe manufacturing and for the oil and gas industries. It is one of the most popular steel grades used in the energy industry, used primarily for the transmission of oil and gas. ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M steel is created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is primarily applied to tubular products used in the oil and natural gas industries. The standard covers technical aspects such as manufacturing, testing, inspection, coating, and marking.
Smelting temperature:1267°C - 1929°C
Application:Petroleum and natural gas industries -- Steel pipe for pipeline transportation systems
ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M Material Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M are determined through the combination of chemistry, heat treatment, and mechanical processing. Generally speaking, the mechanical properties of ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M can be improved by increasing the levels of alloying elements, such as carbon and manganese. ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M is often classified as a medium carbon steel with a yield strength of at least 250 MPa (36 ksi). It is also classified as an alloy steel, which means it has a higher level of strength than low carbon steel and greater wear resistance than stainless steel. Generally, ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M has excellent weldability and is suitable for cold forming and bending.
The mechanical properties of the ISO 3183 PSL2 Grade X60M steel are as follows:
| YieldRp0.2 | ≤ 192 (MPa) |
