Description / Abstract:
This specification covers chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy
steel forgings intended primarily for use in boilers and pressure
vessels for elevated temperature service.
Elevated temperatures are temperatures in the range where creep
and stress rupture properties are important for the alloy steels in
this specification.
Supplementary requirements are provided both in this
specification and in the General Requirements Specification A 788/A
788M for use when additional testing or inspection is desired.
These shall apply only when specified individually by the purchaser
in the purchase order or contract.
Unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification
designation, the forgings shall be supplied to the inch-pound
units.
The values stated in either inch-pound or SI (metric) units are
to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text and tables,
the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two
systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
