SA36 Mild Steel data for -60F
SA36 Mild Steel data for -60F
(OP)
Does anyone have any type of data on A36 mild steel at temperatures in the -60F range?
All data I have only goes to -20F and our client is adamant about A36. I am needing some supporting material to reference to talk them into SA240-304, or receive the engineering data at this low temperature.
Stresses and impact test would be great.

RE: SA36 Mild Steel data for -60F
In my personal files I have numerous CVN results for A36, A283 and A7 materials with results of 10 ft-lbs or less by the time a test temperature of +20F is reached.
The use of SA240-304 would certainly work, but it may be an overkill. The temperature of -60F that you mention is typical of liquified propane or ammonia storage. API-620 is the typical standard for storage tanks for these services. A516-70 (normalized and made to fine-grain practice) is a common material.
Hope this helps
