SA/AS 1548 - 7-490R XLERPLATE®

Product Description and Features

A fully killed, fine grained, carbon-manganese steel for boiler and pressue vessel applications. It has a guaranteed minimum tensile strength of 490 MPa and is produced by normalised rolling. Australian Standard AS1548-1995 pressure grades have been approved by ASME. To demonstrate compliance with ASME rules, grades require the addition of the "SA" prefix to the AS1548 grade name, consequently plate test certification and stencil are prefixed with "SA".

• Guaranteed design strength as per AS1210
• Grades with elevated temperature properties available
• Grades with guaranteed low temperature properties available
• Superior weldability and formability
• R and RH grades interchangeable with A and AH grades

Produced to: SA/AS 1548

Warnings

• This grade is not generally available. Refer to alternative grades SA/AS1548-7-490T(L) or SA/AS1548-7-490N(L)
• This material should be used in conjunction with the appropriate pressure vessel design and welding standards.
• Guidelines for cold bending, where fracture toughness is important are given in AS4100 and AS1210.
