Introduction
Pressure equipment includes boilers, pressure vessels, gas cylinders and pressure pipelines, which are widely used in various aspects of the national economy. Their common characteristics are related to production and life safety, and they are more harmful in case of accidents. There are a variety of materials used to manufacture pressure equipment, among which steel is the most widely used in actual engineering. Steel for pressure equipment is the critical raw material for the manufacture of major technical complete sets of equipment, making it the basic guarantee for the safe operation of pressure equipment. With the development of pressure equipment in the direction of large-scale, high parameters and structural diversity, its working conditions are becoming harsher, so more stringent requirements are put forward for the materials of pressure equipment. Reasonable selection of materials is all-important for the reasonable structure, safety, long-term operation and cost reduction of equipment. In order to further standardize the technical requirements of steel for pressure equipment, it is urgent to formulate a unified standard for steel plates and strips for pressure equipment, so as to be referenced in GB/T 150.2.
GB/T 713 Steel plate, sheet and strip for pressure equipments is developed to standardize the classification and designation, order information, dimension, shape, weight, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, packaging, marking and quality certificate of steel plates, sheets and strips for pressure equipments such as boilers, pressure vessels, liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ships, and is proposed to consist of the following eight parts.
