Description / Abstract:
This specification covers carbon steel plates subject to
mechanical test requirements and intended for machine parts and
general construction by gas cutting, welding, or other means.
A definite silicon content is specified in order to limit the
carbon to the lowest practicable amount consistent with the
specified tensile strength and the thickness of the material.
When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that a welding
procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or
service will be utilized.
The maximum thickness for plates to be delivered under this
specification is 12 in. [300 mm] for plates of Grade C, and 8 in.
[200 mm] for plates of Grade D.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded 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 must be used independently of
the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with this specification.
