1 SCOPE

11 This Specification states ADMA-OPCO general requirements on materials

of construction for equipment handling fluids containing water and hydrogen

sulphide (sour environments) All materials shall meet the requirements of

NACE Standard MR0175 (subsequently referred to in this document as the

NACE Standard) except as amplified and modified herein

2 COVERAGE

21 The NACE Standard defines sour service and recommends materials which

will not fail by sulphide stress cracking (SSC) in sour environments However

it does not cover certain sour duties nor associated failure mechanisms in sour

service

This Specification modifies and extends where necessary the requirements of

the NACE Standard providing additional guidance for materials on sourservice in the presence of hydrogen chlorides alkalis and amines

3 SERVICE CONDITIONS

31 Sour Service

311 The definitions for sour services by NACE Standard MR0175 are

accepted by ADMA-OPCO for systems with less than 10 mol H2S

All systems with 10 mol or more of H2S are regarded as sour in this

Specification irrespective of the operating pressure and temperature

NB

Where the NACE Standard refers to total pressure this shall be

taken to mean total design pressure in the context of this Specification

32 Associated Service Conditions

321 This Specification states as listed below certain additional requirements

that apply for sour service in the presence of hydrogen chlorides

alkalis and amines ADMA-OPCO will specify when these service

conditions are applicable-

a Where the presence of hydrogen resulting from sour service

could lead not only to SSC but also hydrogen blistering or

step cracking Consideration shall be given to employing Z

quality grades of steel materials and these shall conform to

the requirements of the Appendix C of this specification

b Where chlorides are present in sour service but where the

chloride level and PH etc permit the use of austenitic stainless

steels Appendix A of this Specification shall apply

c For sour service in association with alkalis or amines the

requirements of Appendix B shall apply as appropriate

4 MATERIALS

All materials for sour service as defined in this Specification shall comply fully with

the NACE Standard except as modified or extended below

41 General

Materials shall be selected from those permitted in the NACE Standard

411 All castings shall be suitably heat treated after welding operations

have been performed This requirement also applies to the weld repair

of defects irrespective of size The practice of leaving lsquoas welded

areas in castings to be used for sour service is unacceptable to

ADMA-OPCO

All repair welds shall be heat treated as indicated in the following table-

MATERIAL HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENT

a Carbon and Carbon Stress Relieve

Manganese Steels

b Martensitic Stainless Reheat treat completely

Steels eg 11-13 or double temper to the

Chromium Steel NACE requirements

c Austenitic Stainless Stress Relieve or Solution

Steel Anneal

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

415 Where the process duty is such that a wet gas environment exists in

one part of the vessel and multiphase (oil gas water) system exists in

another part of the same vessel the material of construction for the

entire vessel shall be suitable for the more severe sour gas conditions

416 High strength steels at high levels of stress such as internal boltings

springs bellows and parts of some rotating machinery require specificattention Experience has shown that they are susceptible to SSC in

lower concentrations of wet hydrogen sulphide than indicated by the

NACE Standard definition These components shall therefore

comply with the NACE Standard when in contact with any concentration

of wet hydrogen sulphide

417 Where hydrogen blistering or step cracking may occur steel grades

with additional chemical composition limits and guaranteed through

thickness mechanical properties such as Z30 quality steel grades to

the requirements of Appendix C of this specification should beconsidered

Inhibiting the process stream or applying a protective lining to the steel

surface can also be considered

418 Nitrile rubbers are unacceptable but fluorelastomers eg Viton and

PTFE may be proposed for approval by ADMA-OPCOQAD All non-

metallic materials proposed for O rings seals seal rings etc shall be

tested and proved suitable for the environment before use

1 SCOPE

11 This Specification states ADMA-OPCO general requirements on materials

of construction for equipment handling fluids containing water and hydrogen

sulphide (sour environments) All materials shall meet the requirements of

NACE Standard MR0175 (subsequently referred to in this document as the

NACE Standard) except as amplified and modified herein

2 COVERAGE

21 The NACE Standard defines sour service and recommends materials which

will not fail by sulphide stress cracking (SSC) in sour environments However

it does not cover certain sour duties nor associated failure mechanisms in sour

service

This Specification modifies and extends where necessary the requirements of

the NACE Standard providing additional guidance for materials on sourservice in the presence of hydrogen chlorides alkalis and amines

3 SERVICE CONDITIONS

31 Sour Service

311 The definitions for sour services by NACE Standard MR0175 are

accepted by ADMA-OPCO for systems with less than 10 mol H2S

All systems with 10 mol or more of H2S are regarded as sour in this

Specification irrespective of the operating pressure and temperature

NB

Where the NACE Standard refers to total pressure this shall be

taken to mean total design pressure in the context of this Specification

32 Associated Service Conditions

321 This Specification states as listed below certain additional requirements

that apply for sour service in the presence of hydrogen chlorides

alkalis and amines ADMA-OPCO will specify when these service

conditions are applicable-

a Where the presence of hydrogen resulting from sour service

could lead not only to SSC but also hydrogen blistering or

step cracking Consideration shall be given to employing Z

quality grades of steel materials and these shall conform to

the requirements of the Appendix C of this specification

b Where chlorides are present in sour service but where the

chloride level and PH etc permit the use of austenitic stainless

steels Appendix A of this Specification shall apply

c For sour service in association with alkalis or amines the

requirements of Appendix B shall apply as appropriate

4 MATERIALS

All materials for sour service as defined in this Specification shall comply fully with

the NACE Standard except as modified or extended below

41 General

Materials shall be selected from those permitted in the NACE Standard

411 All castings shall be suitably heat treated after welding operations

have been performed This requirement also applies to the weld repair

of defects irrespective of size The practice of leaving lsquoas welded

areas in castings to be used for sour service is unacceptable to

MATERIAL HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENT

a Carbon and Carbon Stress Relieve

Manganese Steels

b Martensitic Stainless Reheat treat completely

Steels eg 11-13 or double temper to the

Chromium Steel NACE requirements

c Austenitic Stainless Stress Relieve or Solution

Steel Anneal

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

415 Where the process duty is such that a wet gas environment exists in

one part of the vessel and multiphase (oil gas water) system exists in

another part of the same vessel the material of construction for the

entire vessel shall be suitable for the more severe sour gas conditions

416 High strength steels at high levels of stress such as internal boltings

springs bellows and parts of some rotating machinery require specificattention Experience has shown that they are susceptible to SSC in

lower concentrations of wet hydrogen sulphide than indicated by the

NACE Standard definition These components shall therefore

comply with the NACE Standard when in contact with any concentration

of wet hydrogen sulphide

417 Where hydrogen blistering or step cracking may occur steel grades

with additional chemical composition limits and guaranteed through

thickness mechanical properties such as Z30 quality steel grades to

the requirements of Appendix C of this specification should beconsidered

Inhibiting the process stream or applying a protective lining to the steel

surface can also be considered

418 Nitrile rubbers are unacceptable but fluorelastomers eg Viton and

PTFE may be proposed for approval by ADMA-OPCOQAD All non-

1 SCOPE

11 This Specification states ADMA-OPCO general requirements on materials

of construction for equipment handling fluids containing water and hydrogen

sulphide (sour environments) All materials shall meet the requirements of

NACE Standard MR0175 (subsequently referred to in this document as the

NACE Standard) except as amplified and modified herein

2 COVERAGE

21 The NACE Standard defines sour service and recommends materials which

will not fail by sulphide stress cracking (SSC) in sour environments However

it does not cover certain sour duties nor associated failure mechanisms in sour

service

This Specification modifies and extends where necessary the requirements of

the NACE Standard providing additional guidance for materials on sourservice in the presence of hydrogen chlorides alkalis and amines

3 SERVICE CONDITIONS

31 Sour Service

311 The definitions for sour services by NACE Standard MR0175 are

accepted by ADMA-OPCO for systems with less than 10 mol H2S

All systems with 10 mol or more of H2S are regarded as sour in this

Specification irrespective of the operating pressure and temperature

NB

Where the NACE Standard refers to total pressure this shall be

taken to mean total design pressure in the context of this Specification

32 Associated Service Conditions

321 This Specification states as listed below certain additional requirements

that apply for sour service in the presence of hydrogen chlorides

alkalis and amines ADMA-OPCO will specify when these service

conditions are applicable-

a Where the presence of hydrogen resulting from sour service

could lead not only to SSC but also hydrogen blistering or

step cracking Consideration shall be given to employing Z

quality grades of steel materials and these shall conform to

the requirements of the Appendix C of this specification

b Where chlorides are present in sour service but where the

chloride level and PH etc permit the use of austenitic stainless

steels Appendix A of this Specification shall apply

c For sour service in association with alkalis or amines the

requirements of Appendix B shall apply as appropriate

4 MATERIALS

All materials for sour service as defined in this Specification shall comply fully with

the NACE Standard except as modified or extended below

41 General

Materials shall be selected from those permitted in the NACE Standard

411 All castings shall be suitably heat treated after welding operations

have been performed This requirement also applies to the weld repair

of defects irrespective of size The practice of leaving lsquoas welded

areas in castings to be used for sour service is unacceptable to

ADMA-OPCO

All repair welds shall be heat treated as indicated in the following table-

MATERIAL HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENT

a Carbon and Carbon Stress Relieve

Manganese Steels

b Martensitic Stainless Reheat treat completely

Steels eg 11-13 or double temper to the

Chromium Steel NACE requirements

c Austenitic Stainless Stress Relieve or Solution

Steel Anneal

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

415 Where the process duty is such that a wet gas environment exists in

one part of the vessel and multiphase (oil gas water) system exists in

another part of the same vessel the material of construction for the

entire vessel shall be suitable for the more severe sour gas conditions

416 High strength steels at high levels of stress such as internal boltings

springs bellows and parts of some rotating machinery require specificattention Experience has shown that they are susceptible to SSC in

lower concentrations of wet hydrogen sulphide than indicated by the

NACE Standard definition These components shall therefore

comply with the NACE Standard when in contact with any concentration

of wet hydrogen sulphide

417 Where hydrogen blistering or step cracking may occur steel grades

with additional chemical composition limits and guaranteed through

thickness mechanical properties such as Z30 quality steel grades to

the requirements of Appendix C of this specification should beconsidered

Inhibiting the process stream or applying a protective lining to the steel

surface can also be considered

418 Nitrile rubbers are unacceptable but fluorelastomers eg Viton and

PTFE may be proposed for approval by ADMA-OPCOQAD All non-

metallic materials proposed for O rings seals seal rings etc shall be

tested and proved suitable for the environment before use

1 SCOPE

11 This Specification states ADMA-OPCO general requirements on materials

of construction for equipment handling fluids containing water and hydrogen

sulphide (sour environments) All materials shall meet the requirements of

NACE Standard MR0175 (subsequently referred to in this document as the

NACE Standard) except as amplified and modified herein

2 COVERAGE

21 The NACE Standard defines sour service and recommends materials which

will not fail by sulphide stress cracking (SSC) in sour environments However

it does not cover certain sour duties nor associated failure mechanisms in sour

service

This Specification modifies and extends where necessary the requirements of

the NACE Standard providing additional guidance for materials on sourservice in the presence of hydrogen chlorides alkalis and amines

3 SERVICE CONDITIONS

31 Sour Service

311 The definitions for sour services by NACE Standard MR0175 are

accepted by ADMA-OPCO for systems with less than 10 mol H2S

All systems with 10 mol or more of H2S are regarded as sour in this

Specification irrespective of the operating pressure and temperature

NB

Where the NACE Standard refers to total pressure this shall be

taken to mean total design pressure in the context of this Specification

32 Associated Service Conditions

321 This Specification states as listed below certain additional requirements

that apply for sour service in the presence of hydrogen chlorides

alkalis and amines ADMA-OPCO will specify when these service

conditions are applicable-

a Where the presence of hydrogen resulting from sour service

could lead not only to SSC but also hydrogen blistering or

step cracking Consideration shall be given to employing Z

quality grades of steel materials and these shall conform to

the requirements of the Appendix C of this specification

b Where chlorides are present in sour service but where the

chloride level and PH etc permit the use of austenitic stainless

steels Appendix A of this Specification shall apply

c For sour service in association with alkalis or amines the

requirements of Appendix B shall apply as appropriate

4 MATERIALS

All materials for sour service as defined in this Specification shall comply fully with

the NACE Standard except as modified or extended below

41 General

Materials shall be selected from those permitted in the NACE Standard

411 All castings shall be suitably heat treated after welding operations

have been performed This requirement also applies to the weld repair

of defects irrespective of size The practice of leaving lsquoas welded

areas in castings to be used for sour service is unacceptable to

All repair welds shall be heat treated as indicated in the following table-

MATERIAL HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENT

a Carbon and Carbon Stress Relieve

Manganese Steels

b Martensitic Stainless Reheat treat completely

Steels eg 11-13 or double temper to the

Chromium Steel NACE requirements

c Austenitic Stainless Stress Relieve or Solution

Steel Anneal

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

415 Where the process duty is such that a wet gas environment exists in

one part of the vessel and multiphase (oil gas water) system exists in

another part of the same vessel the material of construction for the

entire vessel shall be suitable for the more severe sour gas conditions

416 High strength steels at high levels of stress such as internal boltings

springs bellows and parts of some rotating machinery require specificattention Experience has shown that they are susceptible to SSC in

lower concentrations of wet hydrogen sulphide than indicated by the

NACE Standard definition These components shall therefore

comply with the NACE Standard when in contact with any concentration

of wet hydrogen sulphide

417 Where hydrogen blistering or step cracking may occur steel grades

with additional chemical composition limits and guaranteed through

thickness mechanical properties such as Z30 quality steel grades to

the requirements of Appendix C of this specification should beconsidered

Inhibiting the process stream or applying a protective lining to the steel

surface can also be considered

418 Nitrile rubbers are unacceptable but fluorelastomers eg Viton and

PTFE may be proposed for approval by ADMA-OPCOQAD All non-

metallic materials proposed for O rings seals seal rings etc shall be

32 Associated Service Conditions

321 This Specification states as listed below certain additional requirements

that apply for sour service in the presence of hydrogen chlorides

alkalis and amines ADMA-OPCO will specify when these service

conditions are applicable-

a Where the presence of hydrogen resulting from sour service

could lead not only to SSC but also hydrogen blistering or

step cracking Consideration shall be given to employing Z

quality grades of steel materials and these shall conform to

the requirements of the Appendix C of this specification

b Where chlorides are present in sour service but where the

chloride level and PH etc permit the use of austenitic stainless

steels Appendix A of this Specification shall apply

c For sour service in association with alkalis or amines the

requirements of Appendix B shall apply as appropriate

4 MATERIALS

All materials for sour service as defined in this Specification shall comply fully with

the NACE Standard except as modified or extended below

41 General

Materials shall be selected from those permitted in the NACE Standard

411 All castings shall be suitably heat treated after welding operations

have been performed This requirement also applies to the weld repair

of defects irrespective of size The practice of leaving lsquoas welded

areas in castings to be used for sour service is unacceptable to

All repair welds shall be heat treated as indicated in the following table-

MATERIAL HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENT

a Carbon and Carbon Stress Relieve

Manganese Steels

b Martensitic Stainless Reheat treat completely

Steels eg 11-13 or double temper to the

Chromium Steel NACE requirements

c Austenitic Stainless Stress Relieve or Solution

Steel Anneal

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

415 Where the process duty is such that a wet gas environment exists in

one part of the vessel and multiphase (oil gas water) system exists in

another part of the same vessel the material of construction for the

entire vessel shall be suitable for the more severe sour gas conditions

416 High strength steels at high levels of stress such as internal boltings

springs bellows and parts of some rotating machinery require specificattention Experience has shown that they are susceptible to SSC in

lower concentrations of wet hydrogen sulphide than indicated by the

NACE Standard definition These components shall therefore

comply with the NACE Standard when in contact with any concentration

of wet hydrogen sulphide

417 Where hydrogen blistering or step cracking may occur steel grades

with additional chemical composition limits and guaranteed through

thickness mechanical properties such as Z30 quality steel grades to

the requirements of Appendix C of this specification should beconsidered

Inhibiting the process stream or applying a protective lining to the steel

surface can also be considered

418 Nitrile rubbers are unacceptable but fluorelastomers eg Viton and

PTFE may be proposed for approval by ADMA-OPCOQAD All non-

metallic materials proposed for O rings seals seal rings etc shall be

412 Cast irons and ferritic ductile (nodular) iron eg ASTM A 395 are

unacceptable for pressure-retaining parts The use of these materials

for non-pressure low stressed components shall be subject to approval

by ADMA-OPCOQAD Austenitic irons are also unacceptable for

pressure-retaining parts except as permitted by para 4112 (b) none

of these materials shall be weld repaired

413 The selection of materials for a particular sour duty shall take into

account not only any requirements arising from para 321 of this

Specification but also resistance to general corrosion

The pH value of the process stream and the presence or absence of

corrodents such as Oxygen carbon dioxide chlorides etc are of

particular importance

414 When the chloride content and the corrosive conditions are such that

they cannot be handled by austenitic steels (refer to para 321) more

highly alloyed materials such as Incoloy 825 Inconel 625 Hastelloy C

etc shall be selected according to the process conditions

Al Austenitic stainless steels shall be in the solution annealed condition

A2 Bends in pipework and tubing and other cold formed items shall be solution annealed

at 1050 C (1920 F) or stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1740 + 68 F) after forming

A3 Austenitic stainless steels are not acceptable for bellows or other components in the

cold worked or highly stressed condition note that NACE Standard prohibits the use

of cold worked austentic stainless steels Incoloy 825 is an acceptable material among

others for this duty

A4 For welded equipment stabilised or low carbon grades shall be used and unless

otherwise approved by ADMA-OPCOQAD all welded items shall be either solution

annealed at 1050 C (1920 F) or stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1742 + 68 F)

A5 Because of the significantly greater risk of crevice corrosion in sourchloride service

the use of socket welded fittings or any other weld detail which could result in a

crevice on the process side is not permitted

A6 Fusion-bonded overlays of Stellite or Colmonoy may be applied to stabilised or low

carbon grades of austenitic stainless steels provided that the component is

subsequently stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1742+68 F) held for 1 hour per 25mm

SPECIFICATION FOR STEEL PLATE (Z QUALITY)

Cl Scope

This specification defines requirements for the manufacture and supply of steel plateswith enhanced through-thickness properties for special applications

C2 Definition

Steel with enhanced through-thickness properties ie Z direction properties are

conventionally referred to as Z quality steels and the suffix Z may be affixed to the

steel specification designation

eg BS1501 224-161 Grade 360-Z

BS 4360 Grade 50D-Z

This signifies that the material has been produced by special steel making and rolling

procedures and has been subject to ultrasonic and mechanical tests in the through

thickness or Z direction

Some steel mills use the suffixes Z15 Z25 and Z35 as specified in ISO 7778 to signify

that Z direction reduction of area average values of 15 25 or 35 have been met

ADMA-OPCO requirement is for Z direction reduction of 30 minimum for which the

suffix Z30 shall be used for ADMA-OPCO materials

REQUIREMENTS FOR AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEELS

Al Austenitic stainless steels shall be in the solution annealed condition

A2 Bends in pipework and tubing and other cold formed items shall be solution annealed

at 1050 C (1920 F) or stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1740 + 68 F) after forming

A3 Austenitic stainless steels are not acceptable for bellows or other components in the

cold worked or highly stressed condition note that NACE Standard prohibits the use

of cold worked austentic stainless steels Incoloy 825 is an acceptable material among

others for this duty

A4 For welded equipment stabilised or low carbon grades shall be used and unless

otherwise approved by ADMA-OPCOQAD all welded items shall be either solution

annealed at 1050 C (1920 F) or stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1742 + 68 F)

A5 Because of the significantly greater risk of crevice corrosion in sourchloride service

the use of socket welded fittings or any other weld detail which could result in a

crevice on the process side is not permitted

A6 Fusion-bonded overlays of Stellite or Colmonoy may be applied to stabilised or low

carbon grades of austenitic stainless steels provided that the component is

subsequently stress relieved at 950 + 20 C (1742+68 F) held for 1 hour per 25mm

(1 in) of thickness and cooled in still air

SPECIFICATION FOR STEEL PLATE (Z QUALITY)

Cl Scope

This specification defines requirements for the manufacture and supply of steel plateswith enhanced through-thickness properties for special applications

C2 Definition

Steel with enhanced through-thickness properties ie Z direction properties are

conventionally referred to as Z quality steels and the suffix Z may be affixed to the

steel specification designation

eg BS1501 224-161 Grade 360-Z

BS 4360 Grade 50D-Z

This signifies that the material has been produced by special steel making and rolling

procedures and has been subject to ultrasonic and mechanical tests in the through

thickness or Z direction

Some steel mills use the suffixes Z15 Z25 and Z35 as specified in ISO 7778 to signify

that Z direction reduction of area average values of 15 25 or 35 have been met

ADMA-OPCO requirement is for Z direction reduction of 30 minimum for which the

suffix Z30 shall be used for ADMA-OPCO materials

C3 Material
