Designation:A299/A299M09(Reapproved 2014)Standard Specification forPressure Vessel Plates,Carbon Steel,Manganese-Silicon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A299/A299M;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.1.Scope1.1 This specification2covers manganese-silicon carbonsteel plates for use in welded boilers and other pressure vessels.1.2 Plates under this specification are produced in twogrades.The specified minimum yield strength decreases forthicknesses over 1 in.25 mm.1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by thecapacity of the composition to meet the specified mechanicalproperty requirements;however,current practice normallylimits the maximum thickness of plates furnished under thisspecification to 8 in.200 mm.1.4 For plates produced from coil and furnished withoutheat treatment or with stress relieving only,the additionalrequirements,including additional testing requirements and thereporting of additional test results,of Specification A20/A20Mapply.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theSI units are shown in brackets.The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents;therefore,each system mustbe used independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A20/A20M Specification for General Requirements for SteelPlates for Pressure VesselsA435/A435M Specification for Straight-Beam UltrasonicExamination of Steel PlatesA577/A577M Specification for Ultrasonic Angle-Beam Ex-amination of Steel PlatesA578/A578M Specification for Straight-Beam UltrasonicExamination of Rolled Steel Plates for Special Applica-tions3.General Requirements and Ordering Information3.1 Plates supplied to this product specification shall con-form to Specification A20/A20M,which outlines the testingand retesting methods and procedures,permitted variations indimensions and mass,quality and repair of defects,marking,loading,and ordering information.3.2 Inadditiontothebasicrequirementsofthisspecification,certain supplementary requirements are availablewhere additional control,testing,or examination is required tomeet end use requirements.The purchaser is referred to thelisted supplementary requirements in this specification and tothe detailed requirements in Specification A20/A20M.3.3 Coils are excluded from qualification to this specifica-tion until they are processed into finished plates.Platesproduced from coil means plates that have been cut toindividual lengths from coil.The processor directly controls,oris responsible for,the operations involved in the processing ofcoils into finished plates.Such operations include decoiling,leveling,cutting to length,testing,inspection,conditioning,heat treatment(if applicable),packaging,marking,loading forshipment,and certification.NOTE1For plates produced from coil and furnished without heattreatment or with stress relieving only,three test results are reported foreach qualifying coil.Additional requirements regarding plates from coilare described in Specification A20/A20M.3.4 If the requirements of this specification are in conflictwith the requirements of Specification A20/A20M,the require-ments of this specification shall prevail.4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 Steelmaking PracticeThe steel shall be killed andshall conform to the fine austenitic grain size requirement ofSpecification A20/A20M.5.Heat Treatment5.1 Plates 2 in.50 mm and under in thickness are normallysupplied in the as-rolled condition.Plates may be orderednormalized or stress relieved,or both.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.11 on Steel Plates for Boilers and Pressure Vessels.Current edition approved March 1,2014.Published March 2014.Originallyapproved in 1947.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as A299/A299M 09.DOI:10.1520/A0299_A0299M-09R14.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications,see related Specifi-cation SA-299/SA-299M in Section II of that Code.3For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);5.2 Plates over 2 in.50 mm in thickness shall be normal-ized.6.Chemical Composition6.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements given inTable 1.7.Mechanical Properties7.1 Tension Test Requir
