ASME SA240-2010 pdf free download.SPECIFICATION FOR CHROMIUM AND CHROMIUM- NICKEL STAINLESS STEEL PLATE, SHEET, AND STRIP FOR PRESSURE VESSELS AND FOR GENERAL APPLICATIONS.
1.1 This specification covers chromium, chromium- nickel, and chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel plate. sheet, and strip for pressure vessels and for general applications.
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound Units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values slated in each system are not exact equivalents: therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound and SI units. However, unless the order speci lies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished in inch-pound units.
