1.1This specification2 covers relatively thin-walled forgings (including gas bottles) for pressure vessel use. Three types of carbon steel and six types of alloy steel are included. Provision is made for integrally forging the ends of vessel bodies made from seamless pipe or tubing.
Note 1:When working to the chemical and tensile requirements of this specification, the influence of wall thickness and cooling rate will necessarily eliminate certain forging sizes in each class.
Note 2:Designations have been changed as follows: Current Formerly Grade A Type I Grade B Type II Grade C Type III Grade D Type IV Grade E Class 55 Type V Grade 1 Class 55 Grade E Class 65 Type V Grade 1 Class 65 Grade E Class 70 Type V Grade 1 Class 70 Grade F Class 55 Type V Grade 2 Class 55 Grade F Class 65 Type V Grade 2 Class 65 Grade F Class 70 Type V Grade 2 Class 70 Grade G Class 55 Type V Grade 3 Class 55 Grade G Class 65 Type V Grade 3 Class 65 Grade G Class 70 Type V Grade 3 Class 70 Grade H Class 55 Type V Grade 4 Class 55 Grade H Class 65 Type V Grade 4 Class 65 Grade H Class 70 Type V Grade 4 Class 70 Grade J Class 55 Type V Grade 5 Class 55 Grade J Class 65 Type V Grade 5 Class 65 Grade J Class 70 Type V Grade 5 Class 70 Grade K Type VI Grade L Type VII Grade J Class 110 Type VIII Grade M Class 85 Type IX Class A Grade M Class 100 Type IX Class B
1.2The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.3Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
