(Specification)Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Manganese-Silicon
Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Manganese-Silicon
ABSTRACT
This specification covers manganese-silicon carbon steel plates for use in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. Plates under this specification are produced in two grades. The steel shall be killed and shall conform to the fine austenitic grain size requirement. Tension test shall be made to conform to the requirements specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification2 covers manganese-silicon carbon steel plates for use in welded boilers and other pressure vessels.
1.2 Plates under this specification are produced in two grades. The specified minimum yield strength decreases for thicknesses over 1 in. [25 mm].
1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity of the composition to meet the specified mechanical property requirements.
1.4 For plates produced from coil and furnished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional requirements, including additional testing requirements and the reporting of additional test results, of Specification A20/A20M apply.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM A299/A299M-17(2022) is a standard specification developed by ASTM International for pressure vessel plates made from carbon steel alloyed with manganese and silicon. This standard details the requirements for steel plates used in the fabrication of welded boilers and other pressure-containing vessels. The specification covers two grades of steel designed for optimal strength and durability under pressure. It includes stringent criteria for chemical composition, mechanical properties, manufacturing, and testing, ensuring that the plates meet reliability and safety standards vital for pressure vessel applications.
Key Topics
- Material Grades and Strength: The standard specifies two grades of manganese-silicon carbon steel. Each grade is defined by its minimum yield and tensile strength, with strength requirements adjusted based on plate thickness.
- Chemical Composition: Plates must adhere to strict limits for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, ensuring material uniformity. Both heat and product analyses must meet composition criteria.
- Mechanical Properties: Tension tests are required on specimens to confirm compliance with required tensile and yield strengths, as well as elongation values. These properties are crucial for performance in high-pressure environments.
- Heat Treatment: Plates up to 2 inches thick are typically supplied as-rolled but can also be ordered normalized or stress relieved. Plates over 2 inches in thickness must be normalized.
- Unit Systems: The standard recognizes both inch-pound and SI units. It is critical that users do not mix units within a single specification to avoid nonconformance.
- Supplementary Requirements: When specified by the purchaser, additional tests such as ultrasonic examinations, vacuum treatment, and impact testing can be applied for greater assurance of quality and suitability for specialized applications.
Applications
ASTM A299/A299M-17(2022) pressure vessel plates are integral to industries that require robust materials for constructing safe and reliable welded boilers and pressure vessels. Key application areas include:
- Power Generation: Used in boiler manufacturing for steam-powered plants due to their strength and resistance to high pressure.
- Petrochemical and Chemical Processing: Essential for storage vessels and reactors handling hazardous or pressurized substances.
- Oil & Gas Industry: Applied in gas and oil storage and transportation systems requiring large, pressurized vessels.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Utilized wherever there is a need for pressure-retaining equipment fabricated from steel plate.
The standard ensures that manufacturers and end-users have clear guidance on the specifications required for these safety-critical components, reducing risk and supporting compliance with industry regulations.
Related Standards
ASTM A299/A299M references and works in conjunction with several other ASTM standards and related industry specifications, including:

ASTM A299/A299M-17(2022) is a technical specification published by ASTM International. Its full title is "Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Manganese-Silicon". This standard covers: ABSTRACT This specification covers manganese-silicon carbon steel plates for use in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. Plates under this specification are produced in two grades. The steel shall be killed and shall conform to the fine austenitic grain size requirement. Tension test shall be made to conform to the requirements specified.
