5、ed only by the capacity of the composition to meet thespecified mechanical property requirements; however, currentpractice normally limits the maximum thickness to 12 in. 300mm for Types A through D. Current practice limits themaximum thickness for Type E to 6 in. 150 mm for Class 1and 314 in. 80 mm
6、 for Class 2.1.4 The maximum thickness of Class 3 plates is 212 in. 65mm for Types A through D and 2 in. 50 mm for Type E.1.5 The minimum nominal thickness of plates of all classesis 0.25 in. 6.5 mm.1.6 These alloy steel plates in the as-rolled condition aresensitive to cracking during transit and h
