9.2 Chemical composition

9.2.4    For PSL 2 pipe with a product analysis carbon mass fraction equal to or less than 0,12 %, the carbon equivalent, CEpcm, shall be determined using Equation (2):            


where the mass fraction in percent are represented by symbols of the chemical elements (see Table 5).

It is not important for the product analysis to consider boron, if the heat analysis for boron is less than 0,000 5 % and the content of boron can be considered to be zero for the CEpcm calculation.

9.2.5     For PSL 2 pipe with a product analysis carbon mass fraction greater than 0,12 % the carbon  equivalent, CEllw shall be determined using Equation (3):           




where the mass fraction in percent are represented by symbols of the chemical elements (see Table 5).

NOTE: A derogation from the ISO rules for the presentation of chemical equations has been acknowledged for Equations (2) and (3) in deference to their wide utilization in the industry.
