Steel for Offshore Applications - References

sy123 · Sep 10, 2007

Can anyone let me know a few good references that discusses about Structural Steel used for Offshore Applications. I looked up APIRP2A and am not completely satisfied with the writeup in there as its not detailed enough to cover all the steel grades we use in offshore industry.

Thanks!

Actually the most used material standards worldwide are
API-2H, API-2W, API-2Y
EN 10225
DNV OS B101
Norsok M120 (=modified EN10225)
Some companies also use usual structural steel (A36, A572-50, S355J2+N), but mainly for secondary applications, often with slight modifications.

Hello,

I have and offshore topside application using Y.S=355N/mm2 rolled sections to DNV. There seems to be contradicting guidance on the required Impact testing between DNV-OS-E201 and DNV-OS-C101.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
