1.1 This specification2 covers heat-treated carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates intended for fusion welded pressure vessels and structures.
1.2 Plates furnished under this specification are available in the following three classes:
| Class | Heat | Thickness | Yield | Tensile |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 | Normalized | 21/2 in. and under [65 mm and under] | 50 | 70 |
|
|
| Over 21/2 in. | 45 | 65 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 | Quenched and tempered | 21/2 in. and under [65 mm and under] | 60 | 80 |
|
|
| Over 21/2 to 4 in. | 55 | 75 |
|
|
| Over 4 in. | 46 | 70 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 | Quenched and tempered | 21/2 in. and under [65 mm and under] | 55 | 80 |
|
|
| Over 21/2 to 4 in. | 50 | 75 |
|
|
| Over 4 in. | 40 | 70 |
1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity of the material to meet the specified mechanical property requirements.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the other without combining values in any way.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
