Is ASTM A516 grade 60 impact test essential

ASTM A516 grade 60 steel is a kind of carbon steel used for pressure vessels under moderate and low temperature service, according to standard ASTM A516 / A516M. For A516 grade 60 steel mechanical properties, it emphasizes tension test, while ASTM A516 grade 60 impact test is not essential.

ASTM A516 grade 60 steel mechanical properties:

ASTM A516 grade 60 impact test is specified in the supplementary requirements of ASTM A516 / A516M standard. The supplementary requirements shall not apply unless specified in the purchase order. That means, if there is no special requirements, ASTM A516 grade 60 impact test is usually not conducted.
