Notes :

1. Stainless steel types 304, 304 L, & 347 and 36 % Ni steels for service temperatures below -425 deg feren. must be impact tested.
2. Pressure Vessel Steel Plates are purchased to the requirements for the standardASTM (SA)A20, which requires testing of individual plates,
for low temperature service, Carbon Steel material is ordered to meet the impact requirements of supplement S

3. The limiting design temperature is determined by the behavior of the material in particular environment and its corresponding Mechanical
Properties. High temperature limitations are hard to define accurately. For instance to avoid graphitisation or H
4. Material for Structural attachments welded to Pressure Parts & Transmitting loads during operations are generally of the same grade as the
Pressure parts All permanent attachments welded directly to 9% Ni steels should be of the same material or of a

5. Material SA 36, if used at lower temperatures (below 32 deg. Feren.), should be Silicon killed fine grain practice.
