Interpretation: II-77-01

Subject: Section II, Part A, ASTM A 519, Grade 1026

Date Issued: January 18, 1977

File: NA

Question: May ASTM A 519, Grade 1026 material be used in a Code approved
vessel?

Reply: Material should be produced and documented to an ASME specification.


Material produced under an ASTM specification may be designated as complying with a
corresponding ASME specification providing the ASME specification is shown to be
identical with the ASTM specification for the grade, class, or type produced and
providing the material is confirmed as complying with the ASTM specification by
material test report or certification of compliance from the material manufacturer.
Since ASTM A 519 material does not comply with the above requirements
it cannot be used in Code construction.
