ASTM A588 Cat. 3 with very high Charpy Energy Impact Values
ASTM A588 Cat. 3 with very high Charpy Energy Impact Values
(OP)
I am reviewing mill certs of ASTM A588 Cat. 3 steel plate and notice ft.lbs values for -22F around 200 even 300. Is this something occurring in industry? Is this normal or should it be suspect?

If they provide the toughness larger than you require I would use that steel as long as the provider meets the requirement of the standard. However I would ask the provider for the confirmation of those values.
