Scope" LL This specification? covers carbor-silicon steel plates primarily for intermediato- and higher-temperature serviee in welded boilers and other pressure vessels 1.2 Plates under this specification are available in three ‘grades having diferent strenglh levels as follows: Tensile Stent, caieus (51 ‘ba 30 95). o-80(atenaso) 5 620) 5.8 (0.895) 70483) 10-30 285-629) 1.3. 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 fumnished under this specification as follows: ‘evade us (st ‘| 20 415) ‘00) 5480) 800) 70485) 8209) 1.4 For plates produced fom coil and furnished without hheat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional requirements, including additional testing requirements and the reporting of additional test results, of Specification A 20/ A20M apply. 1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or St 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 exact equivalents; therefore, each system must ‘be used independently of the other. Combining values from the ‘two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi- cation. 2.
