BS 3059/5
BS 3059/5
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to find some mechanical and chemical properties for BS 3059/5 material (circa 1965).The material has since been replaced by an updated material specification, this much I know.The 1965 edition of BS 1515 I have does not list any modern equivalents, and the issues of BS 3059 Part 1 and 2 that I have do not go back far enough to list the older material equivalents.I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.
John

Then there were the grades - 33, 45 (min ultimate tensile strength of tons per sq inch) 620 - 1Cr0.5M0, 622 - 2Cr1Mo (two grades) etc etc.
Need a bit more information...
Cheers
RE: BS 3059/5
thanks for the post. We actually managed to track down a copy of BS 3059/5:1958.The spec is : BS 3059/5 : Hot Finished Seamless Carbon Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes.In the document the tensile strength is set at 27 tons/in^2 as a minimum, with a 35 ton/in^2 maximum.So, I have a copy if you'd like one.
