ASTM A 573/A 573M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Structural Carbon Steel Plates of Improved Toughness
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This specification covers structural quality carbon-manganese-silicon
steel plates in three tensile
strength ranges intended primarily for service at atmospheric
temperatures where improved notch
toughness is important.
Plates covered by this specification are limited to a maximum
thickness of 1.5 in. [40 mm].
If 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 X 3
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 standard.
Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated
in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the
other without combining
values in any way.
Footnote * - A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
