1.0 SCOPE

This specification covers requirements for Carbon-Manganese-Silicon Steel plates to ASTM

A 537M / A 537 specification and intended primarily for storage tanks. The steel plates shall
meet the requirements of latest material specifications and API Standard 650 (latest). This is
intended to supplement the minimum applicable requirements of the material specification
indicated in the material requisition.

1.2 Following codes, standards etc. shall be followed in their latest edition and addenda, errata,
amendments unless specified otherwise:

1.2.1 API 650: Welded Tanks for Oil Storage

1.2.2 ASME Sec II part A

1.2.3 EN 10163: Delivery Requirements for Surface Conditions.

1.2.4 EN 10204: Metallic products — Types of Inspection Documents.

2.0 GENERAL

2.1 Plates supplied to this specification shall conform to specification ASTM A 20M / A 20 with
additional requirements mentioned herein.

2.2 The tolerance on thickness of steel plates shall be positive only.

2.3 Final Rolling shall be lengthwise.

2.4 The plates shall be free from injurious defects and shall have workmanlike finish.
Reconditioning / repair of plates by welding shall not be permitted. Surface conditions shall
meet requirements of EN 10163 Class A Subclass-3.

3.0 SUPPLEMENTARY TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 One heat analysis shall be carried out from a test sample preferably taken during the pouring
of each heat. One product analysis of each heat shall also be carried out from a plate
representing the heat.

3.2 Maximum permissible alloy contents shall be as per API 650 (Section 4 - Materials).
However, carbon content shall not exceed 0.24%. Moreover carbon equivalent shall not
exceed 0.47% based on the equation

Ceq = C + Mn + (Cr + Mo + V) + (Ni + Cu)

6 5 15

3.3 Ultrasonic Examination of plates

a. Plates having thickness 16 mm to 50 mm (both inclusive) shall be examined

ultrasonically as per ASTM A 435M / A 435.

b. Plate having thickness above 50 mm shall be examined ultrasonically as per ASTM A

578M / A 578 and shall have acceptance standard of Level-B.

c. For quenched and tempered steel plates, ultrasonic examination shall be done after the
heat treatment of plates.

3.4 Impact Testing of Test Coupons

Charpy V-notch impact test of plate shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A 20M / A
20. Impact test shall be carried out for all plates above 38 mm thickness and the test
temperature shall be 0°C unless otherwise stated. The impact test is not required for plates of
thickness 38 mm and below unless otherwise called for. The minimum impact test
requirement for plates shall be as follows:

PLATE MATERIAL AND AVERAGE IMPACT VALUE OF

THICKNESS (t) in mm THREE SPECIMEN (JOULES)
LONGITUDINAL TRANSVERSE
ASTM A 537M I / A 537 I
Plate thickness t 40 41 27
40 < t 45 48 34
45 < t 5 50 54 41
50 < t 100 68 54

ASTM A 537M II / A 537 II

Plate thickness t 40 48 34
40 < t 45 54 41
45 < t 50 61 48
50 < t 100 68 54

3.5 Simulation Heat Treatment of Test Coupons

The following heat treatment shall be conducted on test coupons representative of heat treated
plate before mechanical testing. The test coupons shall be drawn from one plate (in each
thickness) per heat. These details shall also be recorded on test certificates.
Heat Treatment Cycle One

Thickness Range As per material requisition

Holding Temperature 600° C to 650° C

Holding Time Minimum one hour per 25

mm of thickness but in no
case less than one hour
