Description / Abstract:
This specification2 covers manganese-silicon carbon
steel plates for use in welded boilers and other pressure
vessels.
Plates under this specification are produced in one grade only;
however, the yield strength decrease on thicknesses over 1 in.
(25.4 mm);
The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity
of the composition to meet the specified mechanical property
requirements; however current practice normally limits the maximum
thickness of plates furnished under this specification to 8 in (205
mm).
NOTE-The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
the standard.
