ASTM A 285/A 285M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Low- and Intermediate-Tensile Strength
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 2003
Scope:
This specification2 covers carbon steel plates of
lowand intermediate-tensile strengths which may be made by killed,
semi-killed, capped, or rimmed steel practices at the producer's
option. These plates are intended for fusion-welded pressure
vessels.
1.2 Plates under this specification are available in three
grades having different strength levels.
The maximum thickness of plates under this specification, for
reasons of internal soundness, is limited to a maximum thickness of
2 in. [50 mm] for all grades.
NOTE 1—For killed carbon steels only refer to the following ASTM
specifications:3
A 299/A 299M Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Manganese-
Silicon.
A 515/A 515M Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for
Intermediate- and Higher-Temperature Service
A 516/A 516M Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for
Moderateand Lower-Temperature Service.
For plates produced from coil and furnished without heat
treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional
requirements, including additional testing requirements and the
reporting of additional test results, of Specification A 20/ A 20M
apply.
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.
2 For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
applications, see related Specification SA-285/SA-285M in Section
II of that Code.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
