IS 2002 : 2009 Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels for Intermediate & High Temperature Service Including Boilers

1 Scope

This standard covers the requirements of plain carbonsteel plates produced in discrete cut lengths of flatproduct or plates that have been leveled and flattenedand cut to length from a coiled product. These platesare intended for use in pressure vessels for intermediateand high temperature service which include boilers.

Plates under this standard are available in three gradesas follows:

a) Grade 1 - Low tensile steel plates for fireboxes and boiler plates which require welding,flanging or flame cutting;

b) Grade 2 - Medium tensile plates which canbe used for welding, flanging and flamecutting; and

c) Grade 3 - High tensile steel plates whichcan be used for welding, flame cutting, andhot flanging under controlled conditions.
