1 source records. Standards, editions and conditions are presented separately; matching grade names do not establish interchangeability.

Refer to each source for mass fractions and analysis type. Missing values are not treated as 0. Manufacturer typical values, standard guarantees and measured heat results must remain separate. Use the material selector for calculations and condition selection.

Carbon-equivalent reference

IIW / CEV:0.5300–0.6967Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo, V CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15; an engineering estimate of welding cold-cracking susceptibility for carbon and low-alloy steels.
Pcm(Ito–Bessyo):0.4633–0.5567Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo, V, B Pcm = C + Si/30 + (Mn + Cu + Cr)/20 + Ni/60 + Mo/15 + V/10 + 5B; mainly used for low-carbon low-alloy steels, particularly modern low-carbon pipeline steels; more relevant when C is approximately no higher than 0.11%.
CET:0.4900–0.5950Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo CET = C + (Mn + Mo)/10 + (Cr + Cu)/20 + Ni/40; used in welding preheat assessment for ferritic steels, subject to the applicability conditions of EN 1011-2.

Applicability and limitations

Table 3 Heat analysis, mass fraction %. ; 6.1.5 residual Cr/Ni/Cu are each ≤0.20%; Listed alloy Cr is not subject to residual Cr limits. ; 6.1.7 composition tolerances follow GB/T222; Do not treat heat analysis limits as product analysis tolerances. ; Table 3 of the 2012 edition does not have the optional aluminum and low silicon footnotes of the 2025 edition; new edition conditions shall not be applied. ; Clause 6.4.2: Steel types intended for quenching and tempering normally do not require mechanical-property testing.; If requested by the purchaser, agree the property values for the hot-rolled condition or heat-treated test specimens and state them in the contract; do not invent uniform guaranteed values..
