1、Designation: A737/A737M 09 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Specification forPressure Vessel Plates, High-Strength, Low-Alloy Steel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A737/A737M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revi

2、sion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification2covers high-strength low-alloy steelplates for service in welded pressure vessels

3、 and pipingcomponents.1.2 This material is particularly intended for piping andpressure vessel applications where high strength and improvedtoughness are required.1.3 Two grades, designated B and C, are covered by thisspecification. Grade B provides a minimum yield strength of50 ksi 345 MPa. Grade C

4、 provides a minimum yield strengthof 60 ksi 415 MPa.1.4 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by thecapacity of the chemical composition and heat treatment tomeet the specified mechanical property requirements; however,current practice normally limits the maximum thickness to 4 in.100 mm f

5、or each grade.1.5 Grade C in the as-rolled condition is sensitive tocracking during flame cutting, transit, and handling, particu-larly in thicknesses over 2 in. 50 mm. Plates should not beshipped in the as-rolled condition only except by mutualagreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.1.

6、6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from the

7、two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.

Manufacture4.1 Steelmaking PracticeThe steel shall be killed andshall conform to the fine austenitic grain size requirement ofSpecification A20/A20M.5. Heat Treatment5.1 The mat

12、erial shall be normalized by heating to a suitabletemperature which produces an austenitic structure, but notexceeding 1700F 925C, holding a sufficient time to attainuniform heat throughout the material, and cooling in air.5.2 If approved by the purchaser, cooling rates faster thanair cooling are pe

13、rmitted for improvement of strength ortoughness, provided the plates are subsequently tempered inthe temperature range from 1100 to 1300F 595 to 705C.5.3 When the fabricator elects to perform the heat treatmentin 5.1 and 5.2, the manufacturer shall normalize plates con-forming to Grade C within the
