3.3.2 The permissible deviations of the chemical composition of the steel plate shall meet those specified in Table 2 of GB 222.
3.3 Delivery state
The steel plate shall be delivered in the high-temperature tempered state.
3.4 Mechanical properties
3.4.1 Hardness
The Brinell hardness of the steel plate and quenched and tempered fracture specimens in the delivery state shall meet those specified in Table 2.
