ASTM A662 Grade C For Pressure Vessel Plate

ASTM A662 Grade C For Pressure Vessel Plate

ASTM A662 Grade C is a carbon-manganese-silicon steel plate specifically designed for welded pressure vessels, particularly those operating in moderate and lower temperature service, where improved low-temperature notch toughness is crucial. This steel is characterized by its chemical composition and mechanical properties, including specific tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation requirements.

Q1: What is the minimum design metal temperature (MDMT) certification for A662 Grade C, and how does it compare to Grades A/B?

Certified Service Limits:

ASME Section VIII Div.1 approved for -120°C (vs Grade B's -101°C)

Charpy V-notch: ≥34J at -110°C (base metal) / ≥40J at -90°C (weld)

ISO 21009-3 compliance for LNG full-containment systems

Special Note: Requires fine grain practice (ASTM No. 8 or finer)

Q2: What is the nickel content range in Grade C, and how does it affect cryogenic performance?

Enhanced Alloy Chemistry:

Nickel: 1.50-2.00% (vs 0.80-1.20% in Grade B)

Ultra-low impurities: P≤0.010%, S≤0.008%

Micro-alloying: Ti (0.01-0.03%) + B (0.001-0.003%)

Metallurgical Advantages:

DBTT (Ductile-Brittle Transition Temp) <-150°C

Through-thickness Z-direction ψ ≥ 45%

 

Q3: What are the mandatory welding procedures for -196°C liquid nitrogen service?

LH2/LN2 Welding Protocol:

Preheat: 120-180°C (thermocouple-monitored)

Consumables: AWS A5.28 ER100S-Ni3 (5.5%Ni)

Interpass control: ≤100°C with ≤15kJ/cm heat input

Post-Weld Treatments:

Full PWHT at 600±10°C for 2hrs + Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment (SPWHT)

Phased Array UT + TOFD for thickness >30mm
