Essential supplementary requirements as given below:

 Austenitic stainless steel Plates should conform to ASTM A240 and should be in
solution annealed condition with Cold rolled Solution annealed cleaned and polished
finish both side (No. 4 Finish).
 Heat treatment: All plates shall be delivered in heat treated condition.
Solution annealing: Heating the material to a minimum temperature
of 1900 °F (1040 °C) and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by
other means. Hardness test certificate to be provided.
 Material certification: Material certificates to be provided for all the material
traceable to Heat No. /lot No. of the supply & source of supply.
 Impact Strength: Material should be tested for impact strength as per ASTM A370 at
-196oC. Each of the three specimens tested shall show a lateral expansion opposite
the notch of not less than 0.015 in [0.38 mm]. Transverse specimens i.e. specimen
having long axis transverse to the final rolling direction should be taken. Absorbed
energy values should also be recorded.
 IGC test (Inter-granular corrosion test) shall be conducted in accordance with the
ASTM A262 Practice E on samples drawn on each lot of plates.
 Grain size should be ASTM no. 5 or finer as per ASTM E112. Test certificate should be
provided for same.
 Pre-dispatch inspection will be done by the purchaser’s representative, prior to
issuing shipping clearance. Samples are to be cut in presence of the purchaser’s
representative for all the test. All the tests and dimensional inspection shall be
witnessed by the purchaser’s representative.
 Acceptance / Rejection Criteria: Material found to satisfy the above all requirements
shall be accepted and shipping clearance for the same will be issued after marking/
stamping of the accepted lot.
 All testing charges to be included in material cost.
