WQMS spec on steel Sheet ?
WQMS spec on steel Sheet ?
(OP)
Hi I have an old 1960's drawing which has a 12mm thick base plate of a mild steel tank . There is an annotation on the drawing pointing to this base plate which says " WQMS Mild Steel".
I'm thinking this could be Water Quenched Mild Steel but its only a hunch .
would anyone be able to clarify what this might mean ?.
The Tank only holds waste water and is about 2m Ø

The bottom line is to identify the steel if you intend to replace it or weld repair. It is as simple as that.

I think you may be right with the Weld Quality , makes abit more sense than Water quenched .

Unfortunately we can't get to the part we need to replace , I agree we could look at the data and work out the most suitable steel to use but didn't see the harm of asking the question.
