What is ASME SA 283 material

ASME SA 283 Material

ASME SA 283 is a specification for low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates used in general structural applications and moderate-pressure vessels.

It covers grades A, B, C, and D, with SA 283 GR C being the most common due to its balanced strength and weldability. As a leading Chinese manufacturer and exporter, Gangsteel produces high-quality plates under asme sa 283/sa 283m, ensuring compliance with ASME standards for global projects in construction, fabrication, and engineering.

 

Overview of ASME SA 283 Material

ASME SA 283 material is the ASME-adopted version of ASTM A283, specifying carbon steel plates for low to moderate tensile strength requirements. It is suitable for welded structures where good formability and impact resistance are needed, but not for high-pressure or elevated-temperature service.

Gangsteel's asme sa 283/sa 283m plates are available in various grades, including sa 283 grade a steel plate, sa 283 grade b steel plate, sa 283 grade c steel plate, and sa 283 grade d steel plate, offering versatility for structural and vessel applications.
