    General Product Description

    API 2MT1 is an intermediate-strength structural steel plate used in the welded construction of offshore structures. API 2MT1 has a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi [345 MPa] and a minimum transverse Charpy V-notch impact toughness of 30 ft-lbf [41 J] at 0°F [-18°C]. SSAB is an API Licensee under the API Monogram Program.

    Applications

    API 2MT1 is intended primarilyfor use in offshore structures for Class “B” applications as defined in API RP 2A. API 2MT1 steel plates are suitable for use in select portions of offshore structures which must resist impact and plastic fatigue loading but are not subjected to substantial through-thickness (Z- direction) stresses.

                        Tolerances

                        Thickness, width, and length tolerances for API 2MT1 steel plate are in accordance with the requirements of ASTM A6. The flatness tolerance for as- supplied product is ½ ASTM A6.

                        Delivery Conditions

                        API 2MT1 steel plate is supplied in the as-rolled (hot rolled or controlled rolled) or TMCP condition.

                        Weldability

                        Welding of API 2MT1 shall be performed in accordance with the applicable welding code. In the absence of a specified welding code, the following suggested minimum preheat and interpass temperatures and welding consumables are provided. Special welding consumables and welding procedures may be required to match the base metal toughness. Low hydrogen practices are strongly recommended, including the removal of surface moisture.
