Overview
ISO 4991:2015 - "Steel castings for pressure purposes" - is an international standard that specifies requirements for steel castings used in pressure-containing parts. It covers both castings intended for components governed by pressure vessel codes and those not subject to codes. The standard defines accepted steel grades, chemical composition (Table 1), and mechanical properties (Tables 2–5), and includes guidance on heat treatment, welding, inspection and testing, and traceability.
Key technical topics and requirements
- Material grades and composition: Chemical composition ranges for unalloyed and alloyed steel castings are given in Table 1. Common ISO cast grades (e.g., GP240GH, G20Mn5, GX15CrMo5) are listed with compositional limits.
- Mechanical properties: Tensile, proof-stress and impact requirements are specified in Tables 2–5. Mechanical testing is performed on test pieces from representative test blocks.
- Heat treatment: Types of heat treatment are defined (symbols such as +N = normalized, +QT = quenched & tempered, +AT = solution annealed). Purchasers must state required heat treatment when multiple options exist.
- Welding: Welding is permitted (unless otherwise agreed) and shall comply with ISO 11970; Annex B provides welding conditions.
- Inspection, testing and NDT: Inspection rules include sample formation, lot definition and non‑destructive testing (NDT). Purchasers must specify NDT methods, areas to examine and acceptance criteria per ISO 4990.
- Marking and traceability: Castings must be marked for material identification and heat/serial numbers traceable to heats; manufacturer identification is also required.
- Supplementary requirements and annexes: Optional supplementary requirements (Annex A), informative welding and creep property guidance (Annexes B and C), and a helpful Annex D mapping ISO grades to similar UNS cast grades.
Practical applications and users
ISO 4991 is used by:
- Foundries and casting manufacturers producing pressure-containing components
- Pressure vessel and boiler manufacturers specifying cast parts
- Design engineers and procurement professionals ensuring material fitness-for-service
- Welding engineers and fabricators applying repair or joining procedures
- Quality and inspection teams performing mechanical tests and NDT The standard helps ensure safety, repeatability and regulatory compliance when specifying steel castings for boilers, pressure vessels, valves, pumps and other pressurized equipment.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

It includes materials which are used for the manufacture of components subject to pressure vessel
codes and components not subject to codes.
This International Standard relates to castings manufactured from unalloyed and alloyed steel grades
(characterized by their chemical composition, Table 1, and mechanical properties, Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5).
NOTE Annex D gives information on ISO grade designation and available UNS numbers which are similar to
the ISO grade designation.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4885 and ISO 4990 apply.
4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
Materials specified in this International Standard shall conform to the applicable requirements of
ISO 4990 including the supplementary requirements listed in Annex A that are indicated in the enquiry
and purchase order.
5 Heat treatment
The type of heat treatment shall comply with Table 6 for the specified grades. The temperatures given
are for information only.
When a grade may be delivered at different strength levels depending on the type of heat treatment (see
Table 2), the purchaser shall state at the time of enquiry and order the type of heat treatment required.
The symbols for the type of heat treatment are as follows:
+N normalized
+QT quenched and tempered
+AT solution annealed
NOTE For definitions, see ISO 4885.
6 Welding
Welding is permitted, unless otherwise agreed. All the welds shall conform to the same criteria for
non-destructive testing as the relevant part of the casting. Welding shall be carried out in accordance
with ISO 11970.
The welding conditions are given in Annex B.
7 Requirements
7.1 Chemical composition
An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the contents of the
specified elements.
The chemical composition shall comply with the values given in Table 1.
Permissible deviations for the product analysis are indicated in ISO 4990.
7.2 Mechanical properties
The mechanical properties shall comply with the values given in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Mechanical properties shall be measured on test pieces taken from test blocks (according to ISO 4990).
The tensile tests at room temperature shall be carried out according to ISO 6892-1 and, if specified,
impact tests according to ISO 148-1.
If required by agreement at the time of enquiry and order, impact energy properties at low temperature
shall comply with Table 3.
If required by agreement at the time of enquiry and order, impact energy values at room temperature
shall comply with Table 4.
If required by agreement at the time of enquiry and order, verification of the elevated temperature
proof stress values shall be carried out at elevated temperatures in accordance with ISO 6892-2. In such
a case, the values shall comply with Table 5.
Creep resistance mean values are given for information, for some grades in Annex C.
8 Inspection and testing
8.1 General
For all products ordered to the requirements of this International Standard, specific inspection and
testing is required.
2 © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved
8.2 Sampling
Test blocks shall be heat treated in production furnaces to the same procedure as the castings they
represent.
Test pieces shall not be cut from the test block until the latter has been heat treated.
8.3 Formation of test lots
The formation of test lots shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 4990.
8.4 Non-destructive testing
The following information shall be given at the time of enquiry and order in accordance with ISO 4990:
— non-destructive methods required,
— area to be examined,
— acceptance criteria required.
8.5 Marking
8.5.1 Castings shall be marked for material identification. In addition, heat numbers, or serial numbers
that are traceable to heat numbers, shall be marked on all castings. For small castings, it may be agreed
at the time of the enquiry and order that they may be batched and that their identification is marked on a
label attached to each batch.
8.5.2 Castings shall be marked with the manufacturer’s identification or symbol except where other
provisions have been made between the manufacturer and purchaser.
8.5.3 When more than one heat treatment type is available, the heat treatment applied shall be marked
with a suffix added to the grade designation (see Table 2).
9 Supplementary requirements
This International Standard also specifies supplementary requirements, which may be applied to steel
castings. These requirements are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired and
apply only when individually specified by the purchaser.
A list of supplementary requirements which may be used at the option of the purchaser is given in
ISO 4990 and in Annex A.
If ferrite determination is required for austenitic and austenitic-ferritic grades, it may be made
using ISO 13520.
