• Steel Plates for General Structure
• Steel Plates for Boiler and Pressure Vessels
• Steels for Machine Structural Use
• Steels for Special Purposes.

The following data is given for each standard:

• Standard number and year
• Grade
• Chemical composition
• Mechanical properties (yield point, tensile strength, notch toughness).

When deemed useful, steel type, manufacturing method, thickness of plate, heat treatment, and other data are described.
