ASTM A516 Gr 70, 65, 60 Steel Plates About
ASME SA-516 Grade 70 is a premier carbon-manganese pressure vessel steel specification optimized for moderate-to-lower temperature service. It provides high tensile strength (485 - 620 MPa) and notch toughness, making it ideal for welded industrial boilers, storage tanks, and petrochemical vessels
Exceptional Strength and VersatilityASTM A516 steel plates, available in Grades 70, 65, and 60, deliver reliable performance for high-pressure and temperature environments. These plates are widely used in fabricating boilers, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. Their varied thickness and size options accommodate bespoke industrial requirements, with a focus on durability and mechanical integrity.
Test Certification and Quality AssuranceEach plate undergoes strict quality checks and is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 test certificates, ensuring traceable manufacturing and compliance with international standards. The plates are produced with high purity carbon steel, providing consistent hardness (max 200 HB) and meeting the stringent expectations for safety and structural reliability.
Flexible Supply and Application RangeAs manufacturers and suppliers in India, we offer ASTM A516 steel plates with mill or sheared edges, and customizable dimensions. Our plates come in standard black or grey, supporting a range of industrial projects-particularly those where weldable, tough, and high-strength steel is required under demanding conditions.
