brittle fracture resistance at low temperatures similar to the above impact values <strong>and</strong> note<br />

must be taken of the maximum thicknesses allowed in BS 5950 for each grade of steel at<br />

normal <strong>and</strong> lower temperatures. High-tensile alloy steel conforming to Grades 55C or<br />

Ein BS 4360 or to grades above S460Q in BS EN 10137 High Yield Plates can meet<br />

these requirements.<br />

Steel designations to BS EN 10025, 10210, <strong>and</strong> 10219 are defined in BS EN 10027-1 with<br />

the following nomenclature:<br />

S Structural steel JR Charpy impact value<br />

27 J at �20�C<br />

E Engineering steel J0 Charpy impact value<br />

27 J at 0�C<br />

275<br />

40A Equivalent not available<br />

40B Lowest grade available is S235JR in Part 2<br />

of BS EN 10025 (non-alloy structural steels)<br />
