ASTM-A553 › Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered 7, 8, and 9 % Nickel

The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This specification covers 8 and 9 % nickel alloy steel plates for use in the water quenched and tempered condition intended for the fabrication of welded pressure vessels.
1.2 Material under this specification is available in two types having different chemical composition as follows:
Type | Nominal Nickel Content, % |
I | 9 |
II | 8 |
1.3 Plates produced under this specification are subject to impact testing at -320oF [-195oC] for Type I, and -275oF [-170oC] for Type II or at such other temperatures as are agreed upon.
1.4 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity of the material to meet the specified mechanical property requirements; however, current mill practice normally limits this material to 2 in. [50 mm] max.
1.5 This material is susceptible to magnetization. Use of magnets in handling after heat treatment should be avoided if residual magnetism would be detrimental to subsequent fabrication or service.
1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
