1、Designation: A515/A515M 10Standard 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 Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This

The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of
7、the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.
