Designation: A387/A387M – 11 Used in USDOE-NE Standards
Standard Specification for
Pressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Chromium-
Molybdenum1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A387/A387M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification2 covers chromium-molybdenum alloy
steel plates intended primarily for welded boilers and pressure
vessels designed for elevated temperature service.
1.2 Plates are available under this specification in several
grades having different alloy contents as follows:
Nominal Nominal
Chromium Molybde-
num
Grade Content, % Content, %
2 0.50 0.50
12 1.00 0.50
11 1.25 0.50
22, 22L 2.25 1.00
21, 21L 3.00 1.00
5 5.00 0.50
9 9.00 1.00
91 9.00 1.00
1.3 Each grade except Grades 21L, 22L, and 91 is available
in two classes of tensile strength levels as defined in the Tensile
Requirements tables. Grades 21L and 22L are available only as
Class 1. Grade 91 is available only as Class 2.
NOTE 1—Grade 911, previously covered by this specification, is now
covered by Specification A1017/A1017M.
1.4 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the
capacity of the composition to meet the specified mechanical
property requirements.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system are not exact equivalents. Therefore, each system must
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in nonconformance with this specifi-
cation.

with the requirements of Specification A20/A20M, the require-
ments of this specification shall prevail.
4. Manufacture
4.1 Steelmaking Practice—The steel shall be killed.
5. Heat Treatment
5.1 Except for Grade 91, all plates shall be thermally treated
either by annealing, normalizing- and -tempering, or, when
permitted by the purchaser, accelerated cooling from the
austenitizing temperature by air blasting or liquid quenching,
followed by tempering. Minimum tempering temperatures
shall be as follows:

[200-mm] gage length is used.
9. Repair Welding
9.1 Repair welding shall be permitted only with the ap-
proval of the purchaser. Repair welds shall meet the require-
ments of the construction code specified by the purchaser.
9.2 All repair welds in Grade 91 shall be made with one of
the following welding processes and consumables: SMAW,

flux; GTAW, A5.28/A5.28M ER90S-B9; and FCAW A5.29/
A5.29M E91T1-B9. In addition, the sum of the Ni+Mn content
of all welding consumables used to weld repair Grade 91 plate
shall not exceed 1.0 %.
10. Marking
10.1 In addition to the marking required in Specification
A20/A20M, each plate shall be legibly stamped or stenciled,
depending upon the ordered thickness, with the letter A for
annealed, N for normalized and tempered, and Q for acceler-
ated cooled and tempered, as applicable.
