1、Designation: A841/A841M 03a (Reapproved 2007)A841/A841M 13Standard Specification forSteel Plates for Pressure Vessels, Produced by Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A841/A841M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the y
2、earof original adoption or, in the 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.1. Scope Scope*1.1 This specification2 covers steel plates produc
3、ed by the thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP). The plates are intendedprimarily for use in welded pressure vessels. A description of the TMCP method is given in Appendix X1.1.2 The TMCPmethod consists of rolling-reduction and cooling rate controls that result in mechanical properties in the fin
4、ishedplate that are equivalent to those attained using conventional rolling and heat treating processes, which entail reheating afterrolling. A description of the TMCP method is given in Appendix X1.1.2 Due to the inherent characteristics of the TMCP method, the plates cannot be formed at elevated t
5、emperatures withoutsustaining significant losses in strength and toughness. The Except for Grade G, the plates may be formed and post-weldheat-treated at temperatures not exceeding 1200F 650C, providing the requirements of 6.1 are met. Grade G plates may beformed at temperatures not exceeding 985F 5
6、30C provided the requirements of 6.1 are met.1.3 The maximum permitted nominal thickness of plates furnished to this specification is 4 in. 100 mm for Grades A, B, andC; and 1.5 in. 40 mm for Grades D,3 E, and F.F; and 2 in. 50 mm for Grade G.1.4 Grade G is susceptible to magnetization. Use of magne
7、ts in handling after heat treatment should be avoided if residualmagnetism would be detrimental to subsequent fabrication or service.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI unitsare shown in brackets. The values
8、stated in each system are not exact equivalents. Therefore, each system must be usedindependently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:4A20/A20M Specification for General Requirements for St
