There is no hardness requirement in ASME Section VIII Division 1 for carbon or low alloy steels. The only hardness requirements are in UF-31(b)(1)(b) for liquid quenched and tempered vessels. See also Mandatory Appendix 22-4(c). Never have been.

For a pressure vessel designed with stamped under ASME VIII Div.1, there is a requirement that: "Hardness values should not exceed 200 brinell for the welds / material of shell."
Shell material is specified as SA516 Grade 70.
I am concerned the requirements for hardness and material will automatically require stress relief for all pressure vessel parts.
Would SA516 Grade 70 have hardness lower than 200 Brinell?
Thank you.
