1. Scope 1.1 This specification covers chromium, chromium- nickel, and chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip for pressure vessels and for general applications. 1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently ofthe other. Com- bining values from the two systems may result in noncon- formance with the specification. 1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the appli- cable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished in inch-pound units. 2.
