RE: Steel designations A36 and SA36 are these specs interchangeable
as in using for pressure containing component on a ASME code stamped vessel?
NO
(unless the material is double or triple certified)
RE: Steel designations A36 and SA36 are these specs interchangeable
Yes, one is superior. Since you're posting in the ASME forum, you can guess which one it is...
More realistically, SA36 and A36 are considered by ASME to be identical. I have no knowledge of Gr.44W.

As these are general structural grades they are not always the best choice for pressure vessels.

What I mean is that ASME SA-36 specification of say, year 2007 is considered identical to ASTM A-36 specification of a particular year only.
