1、Designation: A 517/A 517M 06Standard Specification forPressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, High-Strength,Quenched and Tempered1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 517/A 517M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of
2、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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specific
3、ation2covers high-strength quenched andtempered alloy steel plates intended for use in fusion weldedboilers and other pressure vessels.1.2 This specification includes a number of grades asmanufactured by different producers, but all having the samemechanical properties and general characteristics.1.
4、3 The maximum thickness of plates furnished under thisspecification shall be as follows:Grade ThicknessA, B 1.25 in. 32 mmH, S 2 in. 50 mmP 4 in. 100 mmF 2.50 in. 65 mmE, Q 6 in. 150 mm1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the t
5、ext, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is tobe used independently of the other without combining values inany way.2.
