Fe is the basis.
According to TU 14-1-5491-2004, deviations from the chemical composition are permissible: for carbon ± 0.010%, for manganese ± 0.050%, for sulfur + 0.0010%, for phosphorus +0.0030%, for nitrogen +0.0030% , silicon ± 0.020%, chromium +0.020%, vanadium +0.020%, aluminum +0.010%, niobium + 0.010%.
The carbon equivalent C _{eq is} calculated by the formula and should not exceed 0.43%: C _eqv = C + Mn / 6 + (Cr + Nb) / 5 + (Ni + Cu) / 15, where C, Mn, Cr, Nb, Ni, Cu - mass fractions of the basic elements that make up the steel.

Technological properties

Name	The value
Toughness	Basically the metal pipe on the other 14-1-5491-2004 impact strength KCU-60 when pipe wall thickness up to 15 mm inclusive, must be ≥to 39.2 j/cm2(392 kJ/m2), and the pipe wall thickness more than 15 mm 49,0 j/cm2 (490 kJ/m2). The percentage of the viscous component in the fractured impact specimens KCV-20 is not less than 50%. The impact strength and the percentage of the viscous component is defined as the arithmetic average of the results of the three samples. One of the three samples may reduce impact toughness 9.8 j/cm2 (98 kJ/m2), percent of a viscous component by 10%. The value of toughness and yield strength for material of the welded connection shall not be less than the norms of the base metal for all wall thickness, KCU-60 > = 39,2 j/cm2 (392 kJ/m2). For the material of welded joints of pipes on the other 14-1-5433-2005 impact strength KCU-60 for all classes of strength and wall thickness should be ≥ to 24.5 j/cm2 (245 kJ/m2).
