These designations refer to the latest issue of the respective
specification which appears in the Annual Book
of ASTM Standards, Vol 01.04.
1.1.1 This general requirements
specification also covers a group of supplementary requirements
that are applicable to several of the above product specifications
as indicated therein. Such requirements are provided for use if
additional testing or additional restrictions are required by the
purchaser, and apply only if specified individually in the purchase
order.
1.2 Appendix X1 provides information on
coil as a source of plates for pressure vessels.
1.3 Appendix X2 provides information on
the variability of tensile properties in plates for pressure
vessels.
1.4 Appendix X3 provides information on
the variability of Charpy-V-Notch impact test properties in plates
for pressure vessels.
1.5 Appendix X4 provides information on
cold bending of plates, including suggested minimum inside radii
for cold bending.
1.6 These materials are intended to be
suitable for fusion welding. When the steel is to be welded, it is
presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of
steel and intended use or service will be utilized.
1.7 In case of any conflict in
requirements, the requirements of the applicable product
specification prevail over those of this general requirements
specification.
1.8 Additional requirements that are
specified in the purchase order and accepted by the supplier are
permitted, provided that such requirements do not negate any of the
requirements of this general requirements specification or the
applicable product specification.
1.9 For purposes of determining
conformance with this general requirements specification and the
applicable product specification, values are to be rounded to the
nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing
the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of
Practice E29.
1.10 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.
1.11 This general requirements
specification and the applicable product specification are
expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units; unless the order
specifies the applicable “M” specification
designation (SI units), the plates are to be furnished to
inch-pound units.
