RE: British Standard 1633

(OP)
I checked on some manufacturers sites. All are saying that BS1633 is boiler and pressure vessels steel material. According to mine expirience, it is like american A516 Gr70, or similar, german HII. Are my thinkings corect or i am wrong...

6.5 MATERIALS
6.5.1 The written repair specification shall contain details of the grade or quality of all
materials to be used by the Repairer. Reference should be made to current British
Standards, namely plates to BS1501-161-430B or EN 10028-2.P265GH, stay bar
material to BS 970 Grade 080A15, 070 M 20 and BS3059:1968 (boiler tubes). Plates to
be used in the repair should be stamped with the cast number to ensure traceability.
Rivets should conform to BS1633:1958 and BS425:1943. These last two standards,
together with BS931:1951 and BS2790:1956 have been withdrawn but are none the less
still valid. (**See note after 6.7.3)

6.5.2 Materials produced to other modern equivalent, e.g. European or American,
specifications may be accepted by agreement between the parties.
