SA 516 Grade 60 Steel Plate Supplier
Pressure vessels permit the safe storage and transfer of pressurized liquids, vapors, and gases, which make possible many industrial, commercial, and household processes. Material selection is crucial when developing these devices, as failure causes health and environmental issues. Improve pressure-containing application performance with ASME SA516-60 steel plates.
ASME SA516 steel plates are available in three grades: 60, 65, and 70. The intended operating environment is important to consider when choosing a grade for an application. Grade 60 exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of 415 Newtons per square millimeter, whereas Grades 65 and 70 display 460 and 510 Newtons per square millimeter, respectively. Please note that all values are typical.
What is SA 516 Gr 60 Material?
ASME SA516-60 plates is a carbon steel plate grade utilized primarily in the construction of boilers and pressure vessels designed for moderate to lower temperature service. Sometimes called ASTM A516-60 steel plate, this material is prized for its resiliency and weldability. Additional characteristics include:
- Superior notch toughness
- High strength
- Easy to fabricate
- Finer grain
