The invention discloses a thick-specification X80 pipeline steel plate with the process time being shortened. The thick-specification X80 pipeline steel plate is characterized in that the steel plate comprises, by mass, 0.02%-0.06% of C, 1.6%-1.9% of Mn, 0.1%-0.35% of Si, 0-0.0006% of S, 0-0.010% of P, 0.055%-0.08% of Nb, 0.008%-0.03% of Ti, 0-0.008% of V, 0-0.06% of Alt, 0-0.010% of N, 0-0.006% of O, 0-0.15% of Mo, 0-0.20% of Cu, 0.2%-0.4% of Ni, 0-0.35% of Cr, 0-0.01% of Ca, the balance Fe and inevitable impurities. The main process of the thick-specification X80 pipeline steel plate comprises the steps of molten steel smelting, continuous casting, plate blank reheating and hot rolling; and the hot rolling process comprises the steps of intermediate blank cooling, water cooling, stack cooling and straightening. According to the thick-specification X80 pipeline steel plate with the process time being shortened and the main processes, an intermediate blank is uniformly cooled through an intermediate blank moderate cooling system and is cooled to the rolling starting temperature of second-stage finish rolling, thus, the process time can be substantially shortened, and the production efficiency is improved.
