What is A516 Gr 60 temperature range

What is A516 Gr 60 temperature range? According to ASTM A516/A516M technical standard, the A516 Gr 60 steel is suitable for moderate and lower temperature service. A516 Gr 60 steel  is usually used to build pressure vessels and industrial boilers.

A516 Gr 60 steel plate shall be normalized when the thickness beyond 40mm. In case notch-toughness tests are required on A516 Gr 60 steel plates 1.5 in [40 mm] and under this thickness, the A516 Gr 60 steel plates shall be normalized unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.

Agreed by purchaser, cooling rates faster than cooling in air are permissible for improvement of the toughness, provided the A516 Gr 60 temperature range for subsequent tempering is 1100 to 1300℉ [595 to 705 ℃].
