ASME BPVCILA-2017, A-480/S4-480M SPECIFICATION FOR GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FLAT-ROLLED STAINLESS AND HEAT-RESISTING STEEL PLATE, SHEET, AND STRIP CX SA-480/SA-480MStandard Specification for ASME BPVCILA-2017 General Requirements for Flat-Rolled Stainless and Heat- Resisting Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip 1. Scope 1.1 This specification covers a group of general require mens that, unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or in an individual specification, shall apply to rolled steel plate, sheet, and strip, under each of the following. specifications issued by ASTM: Specifications A167, A176, A2S0/A240M, 263, A264, A265, A666, A693, A793, and 89S 1.2 In the case of conflict between a requirement of a product specification and a requirement of this specication, the product specification shall prevail. In the case of conflict betwen a requirement of the product specification or a requirement of this specification and a more stringent require ‘ment of the purchase order, the purchase order shall prevail Te purchase order requirements shall not take precedence if they, in any way, violate the requirements of the product specification or this specification; for example, by waiving a test requirement or by making a test requirement less stringent. 1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SL units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets, except that when A48OM is specified, Annex A3 shall apply for the dimensional tolerances tnd not the bracketed SI values in Annex A2. The values tated 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, |. This specification and the applicable material specifi tions are 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 inch-pound ut 794 2.

The stel shall be manufactured produced by the follow- ing or as specified in the applicable material specification, 5.1-1 The steel shall be made by one of the following processes: elecric-are, electric-induction, or other suitable processes. S12 If a specific type of melting is required by the purchaser, it shall be so specified on the purchase order. 6, Heat Analysis 6.1 Methods and practices relating to chemical analysis shall be in acconlance with Test Methods, Practices, and ‘Terminology A751 62 An analysis of each heat shall be made by the steel producer to determine the percentages of the elements specified in the applicable material specification, ‘This analysis shall be ‘made from a test sample taken during the pouring of the melt, ‘or from the in-process product later in the manufacturing low. 62.1 The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical requirements for each of the specified elements for the grade ‘ordered, as listed in the applicable product specification 6.22 All commercial metals contain small amounts of elements other than those which are specified. It is neither practical nor necessary 10 specify limits for unspecified elements, whether intentionally added unspecified elements residual elements or trace elements, that can be present. The producer is permitted to analyze for unspecified elements and Js permitted to report such analyses. The presence of an unspecified clement and the reporting of an analysis for that ‘element shall not be a bass for rejection, unless the presence of that element causes the loss of a property typically expected for that metal, for the type and quality ordered, 6.2.3 The purchaser is permitted to require in the purchase ‘order @ maximum limit for an individual element not specified inthe product specification, Such a requirement for an elementSA-480/s4-480M, not listed in the product specification, when acknowledged in the order acceptance, shall be treated as a specified element, \with determination of chemical analysis and reporting of that analysis 6.2.4 The purchaser is permitted to make the requirements for any element more stringent, that is, require higher mini ‘mums for elements having minimum requirements or ranges ‘with minimum requirements, or requiring lower maximums for elements having specified maximums, oF ranges with maxi mums. The purchaser is not permitted to make chemi requirements less stringent. 6.25 Analysis limits shall be established for specific clements rather than groups of elements, including but not limited to all others, rare earths, and halance, unless all elements in such a group are similar in technical effect and are associated in typical methods of chemical analysis, 16.3 Except as permitted in 6.3.1, the steel shall not contain an unspecified element for the ordered grade tothe extent that the steel conforms to the requirements of another grade for Which that clement is a specified element having a required ‘minimum content, For this requirement, a grade is defined as an alloy described individually and identified by its own UNS designation in a table of chemical requirements within this specification or any specification listed within the scope as being covered by the specification, 6.3.1 Unless otherwise specified to lower maximum limits fon the purchase order, maximum allowances for unspecified clements will be established for Cu, Mo, Ti and Cb for the specified grade if the amount of that element present in the material conflicts with composition limits for that element in another grade. These allowances are: Cu, 0.75%; Mo, 0.75%: Ti, 0.10 %: and Cb, 0.10 % 64 The producer is not permitted to cen that material is in compliance with an ASTM product specification when the purchase order has required that the material contain as @ minimum or range an element that is neither a specified clement nor an intentionally added unspecified element for the ‘ordered grade in accordance with the definitions of Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751 7. Product Analysis 7.1 The purchaser is permitted to perform a product analysis {formerly check analysis) to verify the identity ofthe finished ‘material representing each heat or lt. Such analysis shall be made by any of the commonly accepted methods that will positively identify the material. 7.2 The chemical composition determined in accordance ‘with 7.1 shall conform to the limits ofthe material specification within the tolerances of Table A1.1, unless otherwise specified in the applicable material specification or the purchase order. The allowable variation of a particular element in a single sample for product analysis is permitted to be either above or below the specified range, However, percentages must exhibit the same tendencies in all samples; that is, the several determinations of any individual element in a heat shall not ‘vary both above and below the specified range. 796 ASME BPVCILA-2017 8.

All austenitic chromium-nickel types except the H types are expected to be capable of passing this test. However, itis rot necessary to actually run the test unless i is specified onthe purchase order. Note that Practices A262 requires the tes to be Performed on sensitized specimens in the low-carbon and Stabilized types and on specimens representative of the as- shipped condition for other types. In the case of low-carbon types containing 3% or more molybdenum in their specified ‘composition, the applicability ofthe sensitizing treatment prior to testing shall be a matter for negotiation between the seller and the purchaser. When specified, all at rolled products of the chromium-nickel series (300 series) in thickness up to and including 2 in, [50.8 mm] nominal size shall be capable of passing the intergranular corrosion test in the as. shipped condition.
