ASTM A516 Grade 60 Steel Plates

ASTM A516 Grade 60 Plate or ASME SA516 Grade 60 Plate is one of the most popular steel grades.

Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate and Lower-Temperature Service to ASTM A 516/ A 516M Standard

ASTM A516 Grade 60 Boiler Quality Plates and ASTM A516 Grade 60 Pressure Vessel Steel plates are primarily primarily intended for use in welded pressure vessels where notch toughness is important. These grades cover a range of tensile strengths from 55 – 90 MPa and this versatility explains much of the specifications popularity.

For plates thinner than 40mm normally supply as rolled. Plates above 40mm thick are normalised. For A516 grade 60, which is one of most popular steels, the ASME standard composition is as follows (dependent on grade)

ASME SA516 Grade 60 Plate specification steel is used throughout the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industry and can be tested to exceed your specified requirements. HIC Testing is one such requirement as this material is used commonly in sour service/ wet h2s corrosive environments and so knowing how susceptible the material will be to hydrogen sulphide corrosion is imperative

ASTM A516 Standard steel plates are intended for use in pressure vessels where increased strength is is important. We can supply:
