Foreword
Appendices B and C of this standard are informative appendices, whereas the others are mandatory
appendices.
This standard, GB 150 Pressure vessels, is composed of 4 parts.
Part 1: General requirements

In Chaper 7, for bolt(including stud) steel bars, the minimum impact test temperatures are
changed for crogenic bolt designates 35CrMoA and 40CrNiMoA, and the impact energy acceptance
values are raised for 30CrMoA, 35CrMoA, and 40CrNiMoA bolts. S31008, the high alloy bolt designate for
elevated temperature, and strain hardened S30408, the high alloy bolt designate for cryogenic
temperature are added.
