Boiler Plate ASTM A516

ASTM A516 Boiler Plate: The Standard for Maximum Safety

ASTM A516 Boiler Plate is a specialty grade of carbon steel specifically manufactured for use in pressure vessels and boilers operating at moderate and lower-temperature services. Featuring excellent notch toughness, this grade of steel is the top choice for engineers where maximum safety and reliability are critical.

Key Applications of ASTM A516 Steel

• Boilers: In power plants and various industrial factories.
• Pressure Vessels: For the storage of gases or liquids under high pressure, such as LPG and ammonia tanks.
• Heat Exchangers: In components subjected to pressure and temperature variations.
• Refineries & Petrochemical Plants: As an essential material for equipment in oil refining and petrochemical processes.

Grades We Supply

The ASTM A516 specification covers several grades based on tensile strength. The most common grades are:

• ASTM A516 Grade 70 (Gr.70): The most widely used grade, offering high strength for most pressure vessel applications.
• ASTM A516 Grade 65 (Gr.65) & Grade 60 (Gr.60): Offer slightly lower strength but improved ductility and formability, ideal for applications requiring more complex shaping.

*All grades are available in a Normalized (N) condition for enhanced toughness properties.
