c) Product analysis of plates shall be carried out on each heat basis and reported.
d) All other chemical requirements shall be strictly as per SA-516 and Table 1 of SA-20. ( Foot
notes are not applicable.)

8.0 Mechanical Testing as per SA-370:

a) Mechanical testing shall be carried out in as delivered condition. Test results shall conform to
requirements given in this document and applicable material specification whichever is stringent.
b) Tension test shall be carried out as per SA-370.
c) Charpy V Notch Impact Test as per S5: (Orientation of Test Specimens shall be longitudinal
to the final rolling direction of plates). Test temperature shall be Minus 46 Degree Celsius. The
minimum average absorbed energy value for a set of three specimens shall be 34 Joules and
minimum absorbed energy value for one specimen shall be 24 Joule.
d) Bend Test: Bend test as per SA-370.
e) Hardness: Hardness testing method shall be as per SA-370.
Maximum hardness shall be 180 BHN.
f) Through Thickness Test: If vacuum degassing is not reported in test certificates, testing as per
SA-770 shall be conducted and minimum reduction of 35 % in area shall be ensured for plates
having thickness 50 mm and above.

9.0 Ultrasonic Examination (UT)

a) All plates having thickness between 16 mm and 50 mm (both inclusive) shall be 100% U.T. as per
SA-435 with acceptance standard S1.

Exhibit 3 - 2 Rev. 0 Dated - 12.12.2014 Page 1 of 3

 b) All plates having thickness above 50 mm shall be 100% U.T. as per SA-578 with acceptance
standard Level B (S1).

10.0 Certification:

endorsed by TPIA along with TPIA Inspection Certificate shall be furnished in the English
language and in A4 size in three sets.
b) Test certificate shall report all mandatory information required by material specification plus
report / requirement of clause 1.0 to 10.0 of this specification as minimum.

11.0 Third Party Inspection Agency (TPIA): LRA/TUV/BV. Scope of TPIA is as follow;
a) Review Point: Raw material MTC, HT record, Chemical (heat and product), Test piece selection.
b) Witness Point: Mechanical testing (100%), Ultrasonic testing (10%), Visual & dimension
inspection (10%), Marking (10%).
c) Hold Point: Issuance of Inspection Certificate with endorsement of Manufacturers Certificates.

12.0 Marking:
As per requirements of specification SA-20 as applicable along with TPIA low stress stamps.
Markings shall be protected from erosion, wear, or other events that may render them unreadable.

13.0 Quantity: As per enquiry / purchase order.

Notes:
1) Plates are required with test results duly certified in SI units.
2) Sample material test certificates shall be reviewed and confirmed by M/S PHILS Q.C. department before
finalizing order. QAP shall be approved from M/S PHILS prior to manufacture.
3) Vendor to strictly follow requirements of TDC. Any apparent conflict between the requirements listed in
this specification and the applicable specifications mentioned shall be submitted to M/S PHILS before
proceeding further for clarification.
4) Material not meeting the requirements of this specification shall be rejected.
