1.1 This specification covers ferritic steel forgings for boilers, pressure vessels, high-temperature parts, and associated
equipment.
1.2 Forgings made of steel grades listed in Specification A 335/A 335MA335/A335M, may also be ordered under this
specification. The chemical, tensile, heat treatment, and marking requirements of SpecificationA335/A335MA335/A335M shall
apply, except the forging shall conform to the chemical requirements of Tables1 and 2 of Specification A 335/A 335MA335/
A335M only with respect to heat analysis. On checkproduct analysis they may deviate from these limits to the extent permitted
in Table 1 of this specification. Current

1.3 Supplementary Requirements S1 to S9 are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired. These shall
apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.
1.4 Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation, the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound
units.
1.5 Specification A336/A336M formerly included austenitic steel forgings, which are now found in Specification A 965/A
965MA965/A965M.
1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
