Scope* 1.1 This specification covers quenched and tempered alloy stee] plates of structural quality in thicknesses of 6 in. (150 ‘mum] and under intended primarily for use in welded bridges and other structures, Nore IAD grades ae not available ina maximum thickness of 6 in, (150 mm), See Table I for thicknesses availble in each grade. 1.2 If the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that welding procedure suitable forthe grade of steel and intended tse or service will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specifi- cation AG/AGM for information on weldability. 1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded soperatcly as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackeis. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way. 2, Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards:* ‘A6/A6M Specification for General Requirements for Rolled ‘Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet Piling A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products 3.

Mechanical Properties 7.1 Tension Test—The plates as represented by the tension test specimens shall conform to the tensile requirements given in Table 2. 1.2. Hardness Test—For plates % in, (10 mm) and under in thickness, a Brinell hardness test may be used instead of tension testing each plate, in which case a tension test shall be ‘made from a corner of each of two plates per lot. A lot shall consist of plates from the same heat, thickness, prior condition, and scheduled heat treatment and shall not exceed 15 tons (15, Ma] in weight {mass}. A Brinell hardness test shall be made on each plate not tension tested and the results shall conform to the hardness requirements given in Table 2. 8, Number of Tests 8.1. Except as allowed by 7.2, one tension test shall be taken from a comer of each plate as heat treated. ‘A Sommary of Changes section appears atthe end ofthis standard Cent © AST tamara, 60 be Di, PO Gok TER, West anzwezien PR 1282886.
