J.1     Introduction
This annex specifies additional provisions that apply for PSL 2 pipe that is ordered for offshore service [ see 7.2 c) 54.]

NOTE      This annex does not include requirements for specialized tests for pipe intended for applications such as pipe reeling or for pipe that will experience high (> 0,5 %) total, single event strain during installation. For such applications, additional testing can be necessary to prove the suitability of the pipe and the purchaser might need to supplement the requirements of this International standard with other appropriate provisions (e.g. see DNV-OS-F101^[14]).

J.2     Additional information to be supplied by the purchaser

The purchase order shall indicate which of the following provisions apply for the specific order item:

a )  steel casting method for strip or plate used for the manufacture of welded pipe (see J.3.3.2.1.);

b )   ultrasonic inspection of strip or plate for laminar imperfections (see  J.3.3.2.4);

c )     supply of helical-seam pipe containing strip/plate end welds (see J.3.3.2.5);   

d )    chemical composition for intermediate grades (see J.4.1.1);

e )     chemical composition  for pipe with t > 25,0 mm (0.984 in) (see J.4.1.2);

f )    carbon equivalent  limit for steel Grade L555QO or X80QO (see Table J.1);
  
g )       chemical composition  limits [see Table J.1, footnotes d)];

h )      acceptance criteria for tensile properties if determined at other than room temperature (see J.4.2.2);

I )   for Grade L555QO  or X80QO  and  L555MO  or  X80MO pipe, a lower maximum tensile strength limit may be agreed [see Table  J.2, footnote b)];

j )    minimum average length other than 12,1 m (39.7 ft)  and/or   different range (see J.6.3);

k )   diameter  and out-of-roundness tolerances for  SMLS pipe with t > 25,0 mm (0.984 in)  [see  Table J.3, footnote b)];

l )    use of inside diameter to determine diameter and   out-of-roundness tolerances for non expanded pipe with D ≥ 219,1 mm (8.625 in)  [see Table J.3, footnote c)];

m ) hardness test of the pipe body seam weld and HAZ of EW and SAW pipe (see Table J.7);

n ) CTOD testing (see J.8.2.2 and Table J.7);

o ) use of the ring expansion test for transverse yield strength determinations [see Table J.8, footnote c)];

p ) additional longitudinal tensile testing for deep-water pipelay [see Table J.8, footnote d)];

a    Based upon product analysis (see 9.2.4 and 9.2.5) The CE _llw limits apply if the carbon mass fraction is greater is greater than 0,12 % and the CE _pcm limits apply if the carbon mass fraction is less than or equal to 0,12 %.

b    For each reduction of 0,01 %  below the specified maximum for carbon, an increase of 0,05 % above the specified maximum for manganese is permissible, up to a maximum increase of 0,20 %.

c    AI _total ≤ 0,060 %; N ≤ 0,012 %; AI/N ≥ 2:1 (not applicable to titanium-killed or titanium-treated steel);

d   Unless otherwise agreed , the sum of the niobium and vanadium concentrations shall be ≤ 0,06 %.

e   The sum of the niobium, vanadium and titanium concentrations shall be ≤ 0,15 %.

f    Cu ≤ 0,35 %; Ni ≤ 0,30 %; Cr ≤ 0,30 %; Mo ≤ 0,10 %; B ≤ 0,000 5 %.

g   For SMLS pipe, the listed value is increased by 0,03 percentage points, up to a maximum of 0,25 %.

h   Cu ≤ 0,50 %; Ni ≤ 0,50 %; Cr ≤ 0,50 %; Mo ≤ 0,50 %; B ≤ 0,000 5 %.
