Scope 1.1 This specification covers chromium, chromium-nickel, and’ chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip for pressure vessels and for general applications. 1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard 1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound and ‘SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M" specification designation (ST units), the material shall be furnished in inck-pound units 14 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilty of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety and health practices and determine the applica- bility of regulatory limitations prior (0 use 2, Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards: ‘A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing Of Stee!

SI. Charpy Impact Testing of Plate SILL Charpy impact tests shall be conducted in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370. S12 Munber of Tests—One impact test (3 specimens shall tbe made from one plate per heat treatment lt inthe final heat tweated condition, SL3_ Orientation of Test Specimens—Unless specified as transverse specimens (long axis of the specimen transverse 10 the final rolling direction, roo of the notch perpendicular to the rolling face) on the purchase oer, the orientation of the specimens shall be longitudinal (long axis of the specimen parallel tothe final rolling direction, root of the notch perpen- dicular to the rolling face). The manufacturer is permitted to test transverse specimens provided that such tests meet the acceptance criteria applicable to longitudinal specimens. Un- less otherwise specified on the purchase order, the specimens shall be taken so aso include the mid-thickness ofthe product. S14 Test Temperature—The purchaser shall specify the test temperature. The manufacture is permitted to test speci- ‘mens at a temperature lower than that specified by the purchaser, provided that such tests shall meet the acceptance criteria applicable to specimens tested at the specified tempera- ture (ee the note below) Nowe —Test Methods A923, Method B, applicable to some duplex (austenite) stainless sects a listed in Test Methods A923, uses a npact text for the purpose of determining the abseace of 1 intenmetallic phases. Method B specifies atest temperature and acceptance eiterio, expressed as impact energy, foreach type of stel covered It may be economic fr the Charpy impact test performed on duplex saniessstels covered in both Specification A240 and Test Methss A923 to be performed atthe tower of the temperatures specified by this supplementary requirement and Test Methods AP23 Method B, wth measoement of both lateral expansion and impact enerey. SL. Acceptance Limit —Uoless otherwise specified on the purchase order, each ofthe three specimens tested shall show 8 lateral expansion opposite the notch of not less than 0.015 in. (0.38 mm $1.6 Reconds—The recorded results shall include the specimen orientation, specimen size, test temperature, ab- sorbed energy values (if required), and lateral expansion ‘opposite the notch. ‘82, Materials for High-Temperature Service ‘82.1 Unless an H grade has been ordered, this supplemen- tary requirement shall be specified for ASME Code applica tions for service above 1000°F (540°C $22. The user is permitted to use an austenitic stainless steel as the corresponding H grade when the material meets all requirements of the H grade including chemistry, annealing temperature, and grain size (see Section 6). $23. The user is permitied to use an L grade auster stainless stel for service above 1000°F (540°C, subject to the applicable allowable stress table ofthe ASME. Code, when the material meets all requirements of this specification and the grain size is ASTM No. 7 or coarser as determined in accordance with Test Methods E112, The grain size shall be reported on a Certified Test Report.INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
