Description / Abstract:
This specification2 covers two grades (C and D) of
carbon steel plates of structural quality for general
application.
When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for
the grade of steel and intended use or service is to be utilized.
See Appendix X3 of Specification A6/A6M for information on
weldability.
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
exactly equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used
independently of the other, without combining values in any
way.
For plate produced from coil and furnished without heat
treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional
requirements, including additional testing requirements and the
reporting of additional test results, of Specification A6/A6M
apply.
This specification contains notes or footnotes, or both, that
provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding
those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory
requirements.

applications, see related Specification SA-283/SA 283M in Section
II of that Code.
