It is reported that Jinan Steel's X65 to X80 pipeline steel plate and high strength steel plate for JGR610E large oil tank have passed provincial technical identification. The two products are the first of the kind in the province.

As per report the products mainly came from overseas countries in the past. With fast economic development, China demands more and more oil and natural gas, thus National Development and Reform Commission has asked 5 steelmakers including Jinan Steel to develop steel for large oil tank.

So far 37,800 tonnes of X65 to X80 pipeline steel plate have been yielded and applied in some key projects. High strength steel plate for large oil tank has been used in oil reserve base in Zhoushan, in virtue of low cost, stable performance and few resources and energy consumption.
