4、lv-ing plate thicknesses of 2 in. 50 mm or greater.1.2 Material under this specification is available in twotypes, B and C. The material is also available in three classesas follows:ClassMinimum Tensile Strength,ksi MPa1 105 7252 115 7953 90 6201.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by

5、thecapacity of the chemical composition to meet the specifiedmechanical property requirements.1.4 The minimum plate thickness is316 in. 5 mm.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The

6、values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other.
