This table provides basic information for procurement of materials for use in low temperature services.

Carbon steel Grades 1 and 6 are impact tested at -50°F. Three and one half nickel Grade 3 material is impact tested for services down to -150°F.

A/SA333 pipe is available dual certified in Grades 1 and 6.

In addition to the materials listed, rolled and welded plate pipe manufactured in accordance with ASTM/ASME Specifications A/SA671 is available for low temperature service.

Plate Specifications A/SA516 Grades 60, 65 and 70 indicating their respective Tensile Strengths in ksi are normally used for the same services as Grades 1 and 6. Three and one half nickel material is manufactured from A/SA203 Grade D plate.

Charpy V-Notch Impact Testing is required.

Supplementary Requirements and Appendices are listed in some of these specifications.

Cast steel valves for low temperature service are normally offered in A/SA352 Grades LCB(65ksi Tensile) and LCC(70 ksi Tensile). Grade LCA(60ksi Tensile) material is listed in Specifications A/SA352, but is not a standard production item for valves.

*Specification A/SA203 Grade D has a Tensile Requirement of 65-85ksi. This meets Grade 3 requirements for the pipe and tube specifications addressed in this table. Grades B, E and F are available for items requiring higher tensile material, such as manufacture of Pressure Vessels.
