ASTM A 131/A 131M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Structural Steel for Ships
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2008
Scope:
This specification covers structural steel plates, shapes, bars,
and rivets intended primarily for use in ship construction.
Material under this specification is available in the following
categories:
Ordinary Strength—Grades A, B, D, and E with a
specified minimum yield point of 34 ksi [235 MPa], and
Higher Strength—Grades AH, DH, EH, and FH with a
specified minimum yield point of 46 ksi [315 MPa], 51 ksi [350
MPa], or 57 ksi [390 MPa].
Shapes and bars are normally available as Grades A, AH32, and
AH36. Other grades may be furnished by agreement between the
purchaser and the manufacturer.
The maximum thickness of products furnished under this
specification is 4 in. [100 mm] for plates and 2 in. [50 mm] for
shapes and bars.
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. See Appendix X3 of Specification A 6/A 6M
for information on weldability.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded separately as the 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.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
