A 20ft steel (20ФА)
Designation
Description
A 20ft steel is used: for the manufacture of billets and pipes seamless hot-deformed oil and gas increased corrosion resistance and cold-resistance, designed for use in systems transporting gas, systems, oil and gas pipelines, technological pipelines, transporting oil and oil products, as well as in the systems of reservoir pressure maintenance in the Northern climatic zones at ambient temperatures from -60°C to +40°C, temperature of the transported media from +5°C to +40°C and operating pressure up to 7.4 MPa; seamless hot-deformed pipes with improved corrosion and cold-resistance (article 20ФА) with an outer diameter from 89 to 426 mm, strength class not less than K48, infield pipelines, transporting products of oil wells (low pressure water pipelines produced water at pressures up to 2 MPa in the system reservoir flooding); pipes with diameter from 57 to 168 mm for use in the system of gas pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, technological pipelines, transporting oil and oil products, as well as in the systems of reservoir pressure maintenance in terms of climatic zones with temperature of the transported medium from +5° C to +40° C.
Note
Structural micro-alloyed steel of higher corrosion resistance and cold-resistance. Pipe oil and gas differ from conventional pipes according to GOST 8731, GOST 8732, high cold resistance, high resistance to General and pitting corrosion, resistance to sulfide corrosion cracking and hydrogen cracking.
Standards
Chemical composition
According to TU 1383-010-48124013-03, to ensure fine-grainedness and nitrogen binding to nitrides and carbonitrides, the introduction of titanium and niobium is allowed not more than 0.030% and 0.040%, respectively. For globularization of nonmetallic inclusions, steel is deoxidized by silicocalcium or cerium. The total content of Nb + V + Ni ≤ 0.15%.
According to TU 1317-006.1-593377520-2003 the chemical composition is given for steel grade 20FA. The mass fraction of hydrogen in the steel in the metal of the pipe should not exceed 1.0 ppm (2.0 ppm in the ladle sample, niobium and titanium can be added from the calculation of the mass fraction to 0.030% and 0.010%, respectively.) In the deoxidized steel for the globularization of sulfide inclusions enter calcium (silicocalcium) or cerium from the calculation of the mass fraction of 0.050%.
According to TU 1308-226-0147016-02 the chemical composition is given for steel grade 20F. Pipes should be made of steel that has been modified by calcium and its alloys. Permissible deviations in the content of chemical elements in finished rolled products in accordance with GOST 4543. The content of metallurgical hydrogen in steel is not more than 2 ppm.
According to TU 14-158-101-97 the chemical composition is given for steel grade 20FA. Deviations in chemical composition are allowed: by carbon ± 0.020%, by aluminum ± 0.010%, by manganese +0.15%, by sulfur and phosphorus +0.0050% each. Deviations in chemical composition in the finished metal are allowed in accordance with GOST 1050, except for carbon and manganese.
