Scope

This document specifies the method for determining comparability of ferrous materials for boilers and pressure vessels, including principles, steps, and material data requirements.

This document is applicable to the selection of material substitution for boiler and pressure vessel as specified in ISO 16528 or standards from other regional/national standardization organization(s).

Purpose

1.Formulation of general guidelines for material substitution to the determination of international comparable steel grades used in boilers and pressure vessels. Reduce costs and promote industry transparency.

2.Harmonization of technical requirements on materials for construction of boiler and pressure vessel in countries to reduce repeated testing and certification of material properties. Promote international collaboration among industry and technical institutions to improve trade efficiency.

3.Stabilized the credibility of material quality to improve safety and reliability of boilers and pressure vessels, and decrease technical barriers and promote the healthy development of world trade.
