① For the product (steel pipe) Grade PSL1: the specified maximum content of carbon is reduced by 0.01%, the specified maximum content of Mn can be increased by 0.05%, and for steel Grade ≥L245 or Grade B and ≤L360 or Grade X52, the Mn content can be increased to 1.65%; For steel grades > L360 or Grade X52 and < L485 or Grade X70, the Mn content can be increased to up to 1.75 %; For steel Grade L485 or Grade X70, Mn content can be increased up to 2.00%.
(2) For the product (steel pipe) Grade PSL2: the specified maximum content of carbon is reduced by 0.01%, the specified maximum content of Mn can be increased by 0.05%, and for steel Grade ≥L245 or Grade B and ≤L360 or Grade X52, the Mn content can be increased to 1.65%; For steel grades > L360 or Grade X52 and < L485 or Grade X70, the Mn content can be increased to up to 1.75 %; For steel grades ≥L485 or Grade X70 and ≤L555 or Grade X80, Mn content can be increased to up to 2.00%; For steel Grade > L555 or Grade X80, Mn content can be up to 2.2%.

* Calculation formula of minimum elongation: δ=C×(A<sup>0.2</sup>/U<sup>0.9</sup>)
Where: C=1940(metric); C= 625,000 (US system)
A= The following applicable tensile specimen area dimensions:
ⓐ For round rod samples: the diameter of the samples was 12.7(0.5in.) and 8.9(0.35in.)mm, and the cross-sectional areas of the samples were both 130mm<sup>2</sup>(0.2in.<sup>2</sup>). Diameter of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) sample, sample cross section area of 65 mm < sup > 2 < / sup > (0.1 in. < sup > 2 < / sup >)
For the whole sample: 485mm<sup>2</sup>(0.75in.<sup>2</sup>) and the smaller of the cross-sectional area calculated according to the outer diameter and wall thickness specified for the whole tube sample. The digit is accurate to 10mm<sup>2</sup>(0.01in.<sup>2</sup>).
ⓒ For the strip specimen: 485mm<sup>2</sup>(0.75in.<sup>2</sup>) and the smaller of the cross-sectional area calculated according to the specified width and wall thickness of the specimen. The digit is accurate to 10mm<sup>2</sup>(0.01in.<sup>2</sup>).
ⓓU= specified minimum ultimate tensile strength in MPa(psi)
