This specification² covers heat-treated carbonmanganese- silicon steel plates intended for fusion welded pressure vessels and structures.
Plates furnished under this specification.
The maximum thickness of plates furnished under this specification is 4 in. [100 mm] for Class 1 and 6 in. [150 mm] for Class 2 and Class 3.
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.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.
² For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications, see related Specification SA-537/SA-537M in Section II of that Code.
