API-650: minimum temp?

API-650: minimum temp?

API-650: minimum temp?

(OP)
Is there a minimum temp restriction with API-650?

RE: API-650: minimum temp?

There is a minimum temperature permitted for every grade of steel material listed in API-650.  The limit is based on thickness, chemistry, heat treatment, supply condition and possibly impact testing.  It's a simple question with complicated answers.  Did you have something more specific in mind?
