BOILER QUALITY PLATES ASTM A 516 GR. 70



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

ASTM A 516 or ASME SA 516 grade is one of the most popular steel grades. 

BOILER STEEL PLATE :
The Boiler Steel Plates are widely used in fabrication of boilers in industries. These hot rolled steel plates are made available in variety of grades and thickness and are developed to a superior quality, deliberated to hold out the internal pressure in boilers and valves. Well known for its diversity of use and longevity, these boiler plates meet the exact requirements of the industries. The content of carbon in these high temperature steel plates are between 0.16 %-0.29 %. We also supply hydrogen induced crack resistant steel in SA / A516 Grade 70 HIC. The steel grade offered by us serves as default material for pressure vessel applications.  

Available grades :

  • ASME SA516 Grade 70 and ASTM A516 Grade 70
