Reliable Pipes and tubes limited is the stockists, supplier and exporter of API 2W plates

Tf›is specification coverr four grades of intermediate strength steel plates for use in welded consmiction of off- shore structures, in selected critical portions which must resist impact, plastic fatigue loading, and lamellar tearing. Grades 42, 50, and 50T are covered in thicknesses up to 6 in. (150 mm) inclusive, and Grade 60 is covered in thicloiesses up to 4 in. (100 mm) inclusive.

he main use for API 2W Grade 50 plates is in tubular joints, stiffened plate construction and other locations where parts of the plates will be subject to tension in the through thickness or Z direction (which is why so many of out plates are sold with Z35 testing.).

API 2W plate is often preferred to API 2H or API 2Y steel grades as the lower carbon content (see below for CEV and Pcm values) means improved weldability and thus lower production costs. Dillingers superior metallurgical control generally means that we are able to supply API 2W 50 plates that have some of the lowest carbon content available improving your production still further. Additionally after welding there is good toughness in the HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) which makes production easier and improves the performance of the structure being built.

Because of the TMCP production process API 2W 50 plates will generally be fabricated by either cold forming or welding. Hot forming is likely to reduce or remove many of the benefits associated with TMCP and is unlikely to be replicable by on site processing.

API 2W COMES IN FOLLOWING GRADES WITH LOW SULPHUR (LS) AND Z35 (Through Thickness Test) S4. TTP testing meeting class Z35 according to ASTM A370 or EN 10164.
