The ASTM A516 specification is the Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates,
Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and Lower-Temperature Service for plates used in pressure vessel
applications where excellent notch toughness is required. Four grades having minimum
Tensile Strengths ranging of 55 ksi to 70 ksi are available.
We supply high quality carbon steel plate for boiler and pressure vessel fabrication which is ideally suited
to the high standards set by the oil, gas and petrochemical industry – this is why we stock an extensive
range of carbon plates according to ASTM A516 Grade 70.
ASTM A516 Grade 70 is an excellent choice for service in lower than ambient temperature applications,
has excellent notch toughness and is used in both pressure vessels and industrial boilers.
A516 Grade 70 offers greater tensile and yield strength when compared to ASTM A516 Grade 65
and can operate in even lower temperature service.
Our plates come with mill certification in accordance with EN10204 3.1 or EN10204 3.2. Our plates are
fully traceable, usually with hard stamping and we welcome any third party or customer inspection
if required which can be arranged with the client.
