ASME SA 387 GR 9

A weldable carbon steel plates for pressure vessels and boilers used in elevated temperatures. The material benefits from added chromium and molybdenum which gives the steel greater corrosion resistance and resistance to heat. SA387 Grade 9 is used by fabricators who serve the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.
