low temperature operations - pressure vessels

(OP)
Can anyone direct me to good sources of information on temperature-transition curves of steels in general, and more specifically types of steels used for low temperature operation in pressure vessels (used in the petroleum industry).
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

RE: low temperature operations - pressure vessels

I would recommend you visit the ASTM web site and search for pressure vessel steels use for low temperature service;

Once you have the list of ASTM Standards for pressure vessel steels in low temperature service, I would suggest you get your hands on API Standards or ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Standards -Section VIII, Div 1.

In API and ASME you will find rules for impact testing and exemptions for impact testing applicable to the list of pressure vessel steels from above.
