ASME SA516 Specification

1.Pressure Vessel Steel
ASME SA516
ASME SA516 Grade 60 | ASME SA516 Grade 65 | ASME SA516 Grade 70

2.As a leading pressure vessel steel supplier, we export material to the ASME SA516 specification. The ASME SA516 specification is part of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) and is a standard which governs the use of carbon steel in weldable industrial boilers and pressure vessels.

3.The specification sets standards for pressure vessel and boiler quality steel in moderate and lower temperature service. Steel grades which come under this specification are recognised for certain characteristics which include excellent notch toughness and weldability. The material grades vary in performance and such performance is dictated in part by the steels chemical composition.

4.As a stockholder and global supplier of high quality pressure vessel carbon steel plate, We offer range of ASME SA516 grades which is the steel of choice for fabricators serving industry, especially in the oil, gas and chemical supply markets.

5.We have three ASME SA516 grades available in stock which are normally of western european origin unless you have more specific supply requirements in which case we can source alternatives for you.

ASME SA516 – Available Grades

ASME SA516 Grade 60
ASME SA516 Grade 65
ASME SA516 Grade 70

HIC tested pressure vessel steel is commonly found in sour gas applications and is particularly suitable for the fabrication of pressure equipment where wet H2S can be a problem due to the long term presence of hydrogen sulphide. Other post production tests can be performed on ASME SA516 either at the mill or by a third party testing house.
