Introduction to SA-240-304 Stainless Sheets

SA-240-304 stainless sheets are austenitic stainless steel products renowned for their corrosion resistance, formability, and strength, making them essential in industries like chemical processing, food production, and construction. These sheets meet ASME SA-240 specifications, ensuring reliability for various applications. Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter in China, supplies high-quality SA-240-304 stainless sheets for global clients. As a specialist in ASME SA240 stainless steel plates, Gangsteel offers customized options to suit project needs. This article details the composition, properties, and uses of SA-240-304 stainless sheets.

What is SA-240-304 Stainless Sheet?

SA-240-304 is a standard austenitic stainless steel grade with a composition that includes 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It is non-magnetic in annealed conditions and suitable for forming into sheets for structural or decorative purposes. Equivalent materials include UNS S30400, EN 1.4301, and JIS SUS304, enabling broad international application. Gangsteel’s SA240 Gr 304 sheets are produced to align with ASTM A240 stainless plate standards, ensuring consistent performance.

Chemical Composition of SA-240-304

The chemical composition of SA-240-304 is outlined in ASME SA-240 to ensure durability and resistance. The table below lists the key elements:

Gangsteel adheres to these specifications for SA-240-304 sheets, compatible with JIS G 4304 stainless steel plate standards.

Mechanical Properties of SA-240-304

SA-240-304 sheets provide reliable mechanical properties for fabrication and use. The table below summarizes these as per ASME SA-240:

These attributes make SA-240-304 sheets preferable over options like SA240 Gr 201, with Gangsteel offering SA240 Gr 304L for weld-focused needs.

Equivalent Materials for SA-240-304

SA-240-304 has equivalents across standards, supporting global use. The table below shows common equivalents:

Gangsteel’s SA-240-304 sheets integrate with these equivalents, aligning with ASTM A 959 stainless steel plates.

Applications of SA-240-304 Stainless Sheets

SA-240-304 sheets suit multiple industries due to their resistance and formability. The table below details applications:

Gangsteel’s ASME SA 213/SA 213M stainless pipes work alongside SA-240-304 sheets for system integration.

Weight Calculation for SA-240-304 Stainless Sheets

The density of SA-240-304 is 7.93 g/cm³ (7930 kg/m³). To determine sheet weight:

Weight (kg) = Density (kg/m³) × Volume (m³)
Volume (m³) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (m)

Example:

• Sheet: 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, 4 mm (0.004 meters) thick.
• Volume = 2 × 1 × 0.004 = 0.008 m³.
• Weight = 7930 kg/m³ × 0.008 m³ = 63.4 kg.

This supports planning for SA240 Gr 304 or SA240 Gr 310S.
