6、to 585 MPa,depending onthickness and condition.1.4 Grade A,Class 1,plates are limited to a maximumthickness of34in.20 mm.The maximum thickness of GradeA,Classes 2 and 3,is limited only by the capacity of thecomposition to meet the specified mechanical property require-ments;however,current practice
7、normally limits the maximumthickness to 8 in.200 mm.1.5 Mandatory notch toughness requirements are specifiedfor Grade A,Class 1.1.6 Grade B provides minimum yield strength levels rang-ing from 70 to 75 ksi 480 to 515 MPa,depending onthickness and condition.1.7 Grade B plates are limited to a maximum
8、 thickness of 2in.50 mm.1.8 Mandatory notch toughness requirements are specifiedfor the three classes of Grade B.1.9 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
