1、Designation: A515/A515M 17Standard Specification forPressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Intermediate- andHigher-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A515/A515M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the

2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1

3、This specification2covers carbon-silicon steel platesprimarily for intermediate- and higher-temperature service inwelded boilers and other pressure vessels.1.2 Plates under this specification are available in threegrades having different strength levels as follows:Grade U.S. SI Tensile Strength, ksi

Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets.

6、The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recogn

These requirements outlinethe testing and retesting methods and procedures, permissiblevariations in dimensions and mass, qual

10、ity and repair ofdefects, marking, loading, and ordering information.3.2 In addition to the basic requirements of thisspecification, certain supplementary requirements are availablewhere additional control, testing, or examination is required tomeet end use requirements. The purchaser is referred to

12、uded from qualification to this specifica-tion until they are processed into finished plates. Platesproduced from coil means plates that have been cut toindividual lengths from coil. The processor directly controls, oris responsible for, the operations involved in the processing ofcoils into finishe

13、d plates. Such operations include decoiling,leveling, cutting to length, testing, inspection, conditioning,heat treatment (if applicable), packaging, marking, loading forshipment, and certification.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Relat
