1.1.1 This specification also covers a
group of supplementary requirements which are applicable to several
of the above specifications as indicated therein. These are
provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired
and apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the
order.
1.2 Appendix X1 describes the production
and some of the characteristics of coiled product from which
pressure vessel plates may be produced.
1.3 Appendix X2 provides information on
the variability of tensile properties in plates for pressure
vessels.
1.4 Appendix X3 provides information on
the variability of Charpy-V-Notch impact test properties in plates
for pressure vessels.
1.5 Appendix X4 provides information on
cold bending of plates including suggested minimum inside radii for
cold bending.
1.6 These materials are intended to be
suitable for fusion welding. When the steel is to be welded, it is
presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of
steel and intended use or service will be utilized.
1.7 In case of any conflict in
requirements, the requirements of the individual material
specification shall prevail over those of this general
specification.
1.8 The purchaser may specify additional
requirements which do not negate any of the provisions of this
general specification or of the individual material specifications.
Such additional requirements, the acceptance of which are subject
to negotiation with the supplier, must be included in the order
information (see 4.1.8).
1.9 For purposes of determining
conformance with this specification and the various material
specifications referenced in 1.1, values shall be rounded to the
nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing
the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of
Practice E29.
1.10 The values stated in either
inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within
the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated 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 this specification.
1.11 This specification and the
applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound
units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the
applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material
shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
