Seope* 1.1 This specification? covers low-alloy steels and marten- sitie stainless steels in the normalized and tempered, or quenched and tempered, condition suitable for pressure- containing parts. The weldability of the classes in this speci fication varies from readily weldable to weldable only with adequate precautions, and the weldability of each class should be considered prior to assembly by fusion welding. 1.2 Selection will depend on design, mechanical, and ser- vice conditions. Users should note that hardenability of some of the grades mentioned may restrict the maximum size at which the required mechanical properties are obtained. 1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.3.1 Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. 14 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. 2.
