1 Scope
1.1 This specification defines the minimum requirements for the manufacture and
supply of carbon steel plates, rolled shapes, and tubulars to be used in the
fabrication of fixed offshore platforms as defined in API RP 2A-WSD (20th
Edition).
1.3 This entire standard may be attached to and made a part of purchase orders.
2.1 Any conflicts between this specification and other applicable Saudi Aramco
Materials System Specifications (SAMSSs), Engineering Standards (SAESs),
Standard Drawings (SASDs), or industry standards, codes, and forms shall be
resolved in writing by the company or buyer representative through the
Manager, Consulting Services Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
2.2 Direct all requests to deviate from this specification in writing to the company or
buyer representative, who shall follow internal company procedure SAEP-302
and forward such requests to the Manager, Consulting Services Department of
Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
2.3 Whenever material requirements are specified, the Vendor may propose, in his
bid, equivalent materials with technical proof that the proposed alternative
material specifications fully meet the technical and environmental requirements,
for consideration by the Buyer.

• Steel shall be classified into three types with respect to its use in service as
follows:
General Service: Steel selected for structural members other than critical or
primary structural steel members.
PL2 - Primary service plates with improved (but not tested) through-
thickness properties
SH2 - Primary service rolled shapes with improved (but not tested)
through-thickness properties
RT1 - Rolled tubulars from PL1 material (critical service plates with tested
through-thickness properties)
RT2 - Rolled tubulars from PL2 material (primary service plates with
improved but not tested through-thickness properties)
Chemical, mechanical and notch toughness properties of each class of steel will
be in accordance with the material requirements of this section
