ASME SA240:2010 pdf download SPECIFICATION FOR CHROMIUM AND CHROMIUM- NICKEL STAINLESS STEEL PLATE, SHEET, AND STRIP FOR PRESSURE VESSELS AND FOR GENERAL APPLICATIONS
1.Scope
1.1This specification covers chromium, chromium-nickel, and chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steelplate, sheet,and strip for pressure vessels and for generalapplications.
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SIunits are to be regarded separately as standard.The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore,each system must be used independently of the other. Com-bining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with the specification.
1.3This specification is expressed in both inch-poundand SI units.However, unless the order specifies the appli-cable “M” specification designation (SI units), the materialshall be furnished in inch-pound units.
