Doing my happy dance!

They're finally changing 904L forging from A-479 to A-182!

I was amazed to find out UNS N08810 and N08811 are now also put under A182 as grades FNIC10 resp. FNIC11 (UNS N08800 also as FNIC). They didn't used to be under A182, the 2014 version I have didn't list them under table 1 (the 2019 version neither). The summary of changes, which I usually read for the more commonly used ASTM A & B standards, doesn't list these. Strange.

There's an inconsistency in table 2-3.6.

Another interesting update is that they've 'changed' facing thickness for both Cl.150/300, and Cl. 600 and up, to 1.6 mm resp. 6.4 mm., to be more consistent with imperial units and market values (the latter I guess).
