The invention discloses thin-specification X65 steel-grade pipeline steel of a single-rack steckel mill and a rolling method. The steel is composed of the following components in percentage by weight:0.03 to 0.07 percent of C; 0.10 to 0.30 percent of Si, 1.30 to 1.70 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.015 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.0050 percent of S, 0.040 to 0.060 percent of Nb, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of V, 0.006 to 0.020 percent of Ti, 0.10 to 0.25 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.30 percent of Ni, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of Mo, less than or equalto 0.10 percent of Cu, 0.015 to 0.050 percent of Al and the balance of Fe and impurities. According to the rolling method, a blank with the thickness of 150 mm is used for producing the thin-specification pipeline steel plate with the finished product specification of (6-8) mm X65 grade. By controlling the tapping temperature, the coiling furnace temperature, the second-stage initial rolling temperature, the rough rolling final pass reduction rate, the final rolling speed, ACC cooling and the like, the thin-specification X65 steel-grade pipeline steel plate with the performance and the plateshape meeting the requirements is obtained, the productivity and the yield of a rolling mill are improved, and the performance percent of pass is high.
