Short description
1.1 This specification 2 covers hot-rolled carbon steel sheet for pressure vessels involving fusion welding or brazing. Welding and brazing technique is of fundamental importance and shall be in accordance with commercial practices. 1.2 The following grades are included in this specification: Mechanical Requirements Yield Strength, min Tensile Strength, min Grade ksi MPa ksi MPa A 25 170 45 310 B 30 205 50 345 C 33 230 55 380 D 35 240 60 415 E 38 260 65 450 F 42 290 70 485 G 45 310 75 515 H 45 310 75 515 1.3 Hot-rolled carbon steel sheet is generally furnished in cut lengths and to decimal thickness only. Coils may be furnished, provided tension test specimens are taken to represent the middle of the slab as required by 6.1.3 . The purchaser should recognize this may require cutting the coils to obtain test samples and results in half-size coils. The sheet is furnished to the following size limits: Width, in. [mm] Thickness, in. [mm] Over 12 [Over 300] 0.270 to 0.230 [7.0 to 6.0] sheet (coils only) Under 0.230 to 0.057 [6.0 to 1.5] sheet 1.4 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 exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. 1.5 Tolerances are found in General Requirements Specifications A568/A568M and A635/A635M . The appropriate General Requirements specification is applied based on the thickness and width of the product ordered. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
