voestalpine Grobblech - Offshore Technology

Voestalpine Grobblech is among the pioneers in the field of the development of TM steels. We offer our customers a comprehensive range of products for various applications: structural steels, pressure vessel steels, line pipe steels, offshore structural steels, shipbuilding plates, case-hardening steels and heat-treatable steels.

Line pipe steels

In compliance with the state-of-the-art, line pipes for oil and gas, transport today is almost exclusively produced from thermo mechanically rolled plates. One of the most modern cooling plants is available for rapid cooling of TM rolled steels.

We supply line pipe steels in accordance with all applicable standards and special specifications:

API B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80, X100
L254MB, L290MB, L360MB, L415MB, L450MB, L485MB, L555MB
HIC-resistant line pipe steels in accordance with NACE TM 0284 Solution A and B

All of the steel grades can be delivered after performance of the notch-impact test and Battelle test (BDWTT) at temperatures below 0°C.
