The combined effect of the carbon and alloying elements is frequently stated by the carbon equivalent Ceq.

Carbon pricing in individual Canadian provinces—if not matched by equivalent carbon prices in other jurisdictions—can potentially create competitiveness pressures on individual economic sectors.

For example, a woolen piece of clothing may have contributed to the same amount of carbon emissions as an entire month of electricity for your home.

For example, the carbon footprint of a piece of woolen clothing may be just as high as your home’s electricity use for an entire month.

Carbon equivalent of the steel is 0.40-0.58%.

Thus, values are determined for the carbon content, silicon content, and carbon equivalent and estimated nodularity count of the molten metal.

carbon equivalent equal to or less than 0.42 for plate greater than 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) in thickness; or

carbon equivalent equal to or less than 0.40 for plate equal to or less than 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) in thickness; or
