This document outlines the specifications for SM 490 grade A rolled steel, including its chemical composition, mechanical properties, and applicable thicknesses. The steel has a carbon content of 0.20% or less for thicknesses up to 50mm, and 0.22% or less for thicker plates from 50mm to 200mm. It must have yield strengths between 295-325MPa and tensile strengths between 490-610MPa depending on thickness, with an elongation of 22% or higher. This grade of steel plate, strip, section or flat is specified for welded structures and applicable for thicknesses up to 200mm.
