Specifies the technical requirements for the production and supply of intermediate and high-strength quenched and tempered low-alloy steel plates from a minimum thickness of 5 mm to a maximum thickness of 110 mm for use in fusion welded structures and pressure vessels. The Standard introduces new Grades 500, 600, 700 and 700PV.

This Standard specifies technical requirements for the production and supply of intermediate and high-strength quenched and tempered low-alloy steel plates from a minimum thickness of 5 mm to a maximum thickness of 110 mm. It is intended for use in fusion welded structures and pressure vessels.
