Certain of thegrades of austenitic steel castings furnished in accordance with Specifi-cationA351/A351M have been found suitable for low-temperature servicedown to 300F 184C and others down to 425F 25
7、4C. Thesegrades may be used when impact tested in accordance with SpecificationA352/A352M with energy levels and temperatures of test mutually agreedupon between the purchaser and the manufacturer. As a guide to theselection of energy levels and testing temperatures, Appendix X1 shouldbe consulted.1
8、.3 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 values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from th
