Historical Steel Grade V50

Historical Steel Grade V50

Historical Steel Grade V50

(OP)


I have a set of structural drawings from 1974 in which V50 is used to specify steel type for a handful of girders.  An example of the usage is “W24X55 V50”.  It seems logical to infer that 50ksi steel is being called out.  Is anyone familiar with the terminology?  I have the AISC Steel Design Guide 15, which covers this sort of thing, but I can’t seem to find any reference to V50.

Thank you, that is what I was looking for.
