32、COVERAGEThis specication covers one grade of intermediatestrength steel plates, though 21/2in. thick, for use in weldedconstruction of offshore structures. These steels are intendedfor fabrication primarily by cold forming and welding as perAPI Spec 2B. The welding procedure is of fundamentalimporta
33、nce, and it is presumed that procedures will be suit-able for the steels and their intended service. Conversely, thesteel should be amendable to fabrication and welding undershipyard and offshore conditions. These steels are suitable foruse in selected portions of offshore structures, which mustresi
34、st impact and plastic fatigue loading. When hot or warmforming or PWHT above 1100F is anticipated for acceler-ated cooling (AC) or quenched and tempered (QC) plates, S9should be invoked, (italics added per ASTM A913).1.2 PRIMARY APPLICATIONThe primary use of these steels is for Class B applica-tions
35、 as dened in API RP 2A. API Specs 2H, 2W, and 2Ycover other steels providing improved mechanical propertiesand toughness for Class A applications and should be usedwhere substantial z-direction stresses are expected.2 ReferencesThe applicable editions of standards referenced herein areas follows:API

For
41、quenched and tempered treatment, the plate shallbe heated to a temperature between 1550F (845C) and1700F (925C) to produce an austenitic structure, held a suf-cient time to obtain uniform structure throughout, quenchedin a suitable medium, then tempered in the range of 1050F to1250F (565C to 675C) f
42、or a suitable time to obtain thespecied mechanical properties.4.3 MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONThe manufacturer shall provide the purchaser with theproposed manufacturing approach (i.e., thermal treat-ment), and, when requested, with the Manufacturing Pro-cedure Specication (MPS).
