1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity of the material to meet the specified mechanical property requirements.
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 is to be used independently of the other without combining values in any way.
1.5 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.
3.1 Plates furnished supplied to this material specification shall conform to Specification A20/A20M. These requirements outline the testing and retesting methods and procedures; permissible variations in dimensions; and mass, quality, and repair of defects, marking, loading, and ordering information.
3.2 In addition to the basic requirements of this specification, certain supplementary requirements are available when additional control, testing, or examination is required to meet end use requirements. The purchaser is referred to the listed supplementary requirements in this specification and to the detailed requirements in Specification A20/A20M.
Note: The complete heat treatment requirements are not fully included in the provided content. The tempering temperature for Class 3 plates shall not be less than 1150°F [620°C].
Note: The complete heat treatment requirements are not fully included in the provided content. The tempering temperature shall not be less than 1100°F [595°C] for Class 1 and Class 2 plates, and not less than 1150°F [620°C] for Class 3 plates.
6.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical requirements shown in Table 1 unless otherwise modified in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S17, Vacuum Carbon-Deoxidized Steel, in Specification A20/A20M.

A Applies to both heat and product analyses. B Manganese may exceed 1.35 % on heat analysis, up to a maximum of 1.60 %, and nickel may exceed 0.25 % on heat analysis, up to a maximum of 0.50 %, provided the heat analysis carbon equivalent does not exceed 0.57 % when based upon the following equation: CE = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15 When this option is exercised, the manganese and nickel contents on product analysis shall not exceed the heat analysis content by more than 0.12 % and 0.03 %, respectively. |
