I've seen a few end user piping specifications, and design drawings where the piping design code is CSA Z662, and they specify A516 Gr. 70N plate as the material for the fabrication of bleed rings/spacers/spectacle blinds/paddle blanks (such as those fabricated in accordance with ASME B16.48). I've never thought anything of it, however I've recently gone through CSA Z662 trying to find any clause in which allows the use of A516 Gr.70N for these type of fittings but had no luck (Table 5.3 does not mention any type of plate material, and these fittings don't exactly fall under the other specifications listed). I also did not notice ASME B16.48 listed.

Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks!
