1、Designation: A 225/A 225M 03 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Specification forPressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Manganese-Vanadium-Nickel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 225/A 225M; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers manganese-vanadium-nickelalloy steel plates intended primari
3、ly for welded layered pres-sure vessels.1.2 Plates under this specification are available in twogrades having different strength levels as follows:Grade Tensile Strength, ksi MPaC 105135 725930D3 in. 75 mm and under 80105 550725Over 3 in. 75 mm 75100 5156901.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limi
4、ted only by thecapacity of the chemical composition to meet the specifiedmechanical property requirements; however, current mill prac-tice normally limits Grade C to 0.58 in. 15 mm maximum andGrade D to 6 in. 150 mm maximum.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regard
5、ed separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. 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.2. Refere

10、A 20/A 20M.3.5 Coils are excluded 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 pr
11、ocessing ofcoils into finished plates. Such operations include decoiling,leveling, cutting to length, testing, inspection, conditioning,heat treatment (if applicable), packaging, marking, loading forshipment, and certification.NOTE 1For plates produced from coil and furnished without heattreatment o
12、r with stress relieving only, three test results are reported foreach qualifying coil.
