(Identical with ASTM Specification A 516/A 516M-90.
Scope 1.1 This specification covers carbon steel plates intended primarily for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important.
1. 1.2 Plates under this specification are available in four grades having different strength levels as follows:
Grade U.S. [SI] 55 60 65 70 [380] [415] [450] [485] Tensile Strength, ksi [ m a ] 55-75 60-80 65-85 70-90 [380-5151 [415-5501 [450-5851 [485-620]
Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards: A 20lA 20M Specification for General Requirements for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels A 435lA 435M Specification for Straight-Beam Ultrasonic Examination of Steel Plates A 577lA 577M Specification for Ultrasonic Angle-Beam Examination of Steel Plates A 578lA 578M Specification for Straight-Beam Ultrasonic Examination of Plain and Clad Steel Plates for Special Applications
2.
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 furnished under this specification as follows:
Grade U.S. [SI] 55 60 65 70 [380] [415] [450] [485] Maximum Thickness, in. [mm] 12 [305] 8 [205] 8 [205] 8 [205]
General Requirements and Ordering formation 3.1 Material supplied to this material specification shall conform to Specification A 2011: 20M. These requirements outline the testing and retesting methods and procedures, permissible variations in dimensions, and mass, quality and repair of defects, marking, loading, etc.
3. 3.2 Specification A 20lA 20M also establishes the rules for the ordering information that should be complied with when purchasing material to this specification. 3.3 In addition the basic requirements of this specification, certain supplementary requirements are available when additional control, testing, or examination is required to meet end use requirements. These include: 3.3.1 Vacuum treatment, 3.3.2 Additional or special tension testing, 3.3.3 Impact testing, and 3.3.4 Nondestructive examination.
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 must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
2004 SECTION I1
3.4 The purchaser is referred to the listed supplementary requirements in this specification and to the detailed requirements in Specification A 20lA 20M. 3.5 If the requirements of this specification are in conflict with the requirements of Specification A 20lA 20M, the requirements of this specification shall prevail.
5.3 When notch-toughness tests are required on plates in. [40 mm] and under in thickness, the plates shall be nomalized unless otherwise specified by the purchaser. 5.4 If approved by the purchaser, cooling rates faster than those obtained by cooling in air are permissible for improvement of the toughness, provided the plates are subsequently tempered in the temperature range 1100 to 1300F [595 to 705OCI.
4.
Manufacture 4.1 Steelimkiizg Practice -The steel shall be killed and shall conform to the fine a~istenitic grain size requirement of Specification A 20lA 20M.
6.
5.
eat Treatment 5.1 Plates 1.50 in. [40 nun] and under in thiclcness are normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. The plates may be ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both.
Chemical Requirements 6.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements shown in Table 1 unless otherwise modified in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S 17, Vacuum Carbon-Deoxidized Steel, in Specification A 20lA 20M.
7.
5.2 Plates over 1.50 in. [40 mm] in thickness shall be normalized.
Mechanical Requirements 7.1 Telzsioiz Test Reqzliremeizts -The material as represented by the tension-test specimens shall confom to the requirements shown in Table 2.
