Designation:A829/A829M17Standard Specification forAlloy Structural Steel Plates1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A829/A829M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers structural quality alloy steelplates.1.2 The plates are usually specified to chemical compositionrequirements,but tensile properties may also be specified.1.2.1 When tensile properties are required,the specificrequirementsmustbecompatiblewiththechemicalcomposition,condition,and plate thickness.1.3 The plates are available in the following five conditions:1.3.1 Condition ARAs rolled(hot rolled),1.3.2 Condition AAnnealed,1.3.3 Condition NNormalized,1.3.4 Condition NTNormalized and tempered,and1.3.5 Condition QTQuenched and tempered.1.4 The plates are available in the following three forms:1.4.1 Form IRectangular,1.4.2 Form IICircular and semi-circular,and1.4.3 Form IIISketch,including rings.1.5 The plates are available in the following five edgecategories:1.5.1 Edge 1Mill edge,1.5.2 Edge 2Universal mill edge,1.5.3 Edge 3Sheared edge,1.5.4 Edge 4Gas cut edge,and1.5.5 Edge 5Special cut edge.1.6 The plates are available in the following seven finishes:1.6.1 Finish 1As rolled(hot rolled),1.6.2 Finish 2Blast cleaned,1.6.3 Finish 3Blast cleaned and oiled,1.6.4 Finish 4Pickled,1.6.5 Finish 5Pickled and oiled,1.6.6 Finish 6Painted,one prime coat,and1.6.7 Finish 7Painted,one prime coat and one finish coat.1.6.8 The plates are usually specified to have Finish 1.1.7 Supplementary requirements are provided for additionalrequirements that may be specified on the order.1.8 When the steel is to be welded,it is presupposed that awelding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intendeduse or service will be utilized.See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A6/A6M for information on weldability.1.9 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.10 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A6/A6M Specification for General Requirements for RolledStructural Steel Bars,Plates,Shapes,and Sheet Piling3.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for plates under this specification should includethe following information:3.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue.3.1.2 Grade(see 5.1)or chemical composition(see 5.2).3.1.3 Tensile properties,if required(see Section 6).3.1.4 Coarse austenitic grain size,if required(see 4.1).3.1.5 Condition(see 1.3).3.1.6 Form(see 1.4).3.1.7 Edge,if other than Edge 3 or 4(see 4.3).3.1.8 Finish(see 1.6).3.1.9 Dimensions of plate.3.1.10 Limitations on repair by welding,if any(see 4.5.2).1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.02 on Structural Steel for Bridges,Buildings,Rolling Stock and Ships.Current edition approved March 15,2017.Published March 2017.Originallyapproved in 1984.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as A829/A829M 14.DOI:10.1520/A0829_A0829M-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 3.1.11 Supplementary Requirements,if any,including allthe additional information called for in the SupplementaryRequirements.4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 The steel shall be made to fine grain practice,unlesscoarse austenitic grain size is specified in the purchase order.4.2 The plates shall be furnished in the condition specifiedin the purchase order.4.2.1 Plates specified to be furnished in a heat-treatedcondition sha
