ASTM WK29042

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK29042 - Revision of A240 / A240M - 10 Standard Specification for Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip for Pressure Vessels and for General Applications


Active Standard: A240 / A240M - 13a

Developed by Subcommittee: A01.17 | Committee A01 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

Footnote H is to be added to Table 2 hardness values for alloy S35115. For sheet thicknesses less than 0.010 inch standard Brinell and Rockwell B hardness cannot be measured. Only microhardness can be measured. However, as stated in E384-08a Section 11 There is no generally accepted method for accurate conversion of Knoop or Vickers microindentation hardness numbers to other hardness scales. Thus footnote H (Not applicable for thicknesses under 0.010 inch [0.25mm]) is needed for thin sheet.
