GB/T 713 Q370R steel plate

GB/T 713 Q370R steel plate, also written as Q370R pressure vessel steel plate, GB713 Q370R, Q370R boiler steel plate, is a higher-strength C-Mn-Nb vessel plate under GB/T 713 / GB/T 713.2, typically supplied normalized, with about 370 MPa minimum yield in the thin band, tensile around 530-630 MPa and Charpy V-notch at -20°C. Gangsteel (HENAN GANG IRON AND STEEL) produces and exports Q370R plates cut to size with MTC for higher-stress vessels and boilers.

Data source: Per GB/T 713 / GB/T 713.2-2023 (Steel plate, sheet and strip for pressure equipments — Part 2: Non-alloy and alloy steel with specified temperature properties; buyers still search “GB/T 713”). Official mill/certificate grade is Q370R. Verify the contracted edition and purchase-order supplements before ordering.

FAQ about GB/T 713 Q370R Steel Plate

What is GB/T 713 Q370R steel plate?

It is a C-Mn-Nb boiler and pressure vessel steel under GB/T 713 / GB/T 713.2. a higher-strength C-Mn-Nb vessel plate under GB/T 713 / GB/T 713.2, typically supplied normalized, with about 370 MPa minimum yield in the thin band, tensile around 530-630 MPa and Charpy V-notch at -20°C. Gangsteel lists the official mill/certificate grade as Q370R. See the full GB/T 713 Q370R page for chemistry and mechanical tables.

What is the yield and tensile strength of Q370R?

About 370 MPa min in the thin band, reducing with thickness. Typical tensile bands are shown in the mechanical properties table on this page; confirm the contracted GB/T 713.2 edition before design.

What impact test temperature applies to GB/T 713 Q370R?

-20°C (not 0°C like default Q345R), typically ≥34 J. Always state the required Charpy temperature and energy on the purchase order.

What delivery condition / heat treatment does Q370R use?

Normalized (N). Killed, fine-grain with Nb. Tensile, Charpy at -20°C and bend. Optional UT, Z-test, PWHT simulation and 3.1/3.2 MTC.

How does Q370R compare with other GB/T 713 QxxxR grades?

All sit in the GB/T 713.2 non-alloy / microalloy vessel family. Sister carbon grades: Q245R / Q345R / Q420R / Q460R. Hub: GB/T 713 Steel Plate.

Is Q370R the same as ASTM A516 / ASME SA516?

No. They are often compared for design but chemistry, impact and delivery rules differ. See ASTM A516 and A516 Grade 70 / SA516 Gr.70. Dual certification needs the stricter combined limits on the PO and MTC.

What mill certificate does Gangsteel supply for Q370R?

EN 10204 3.1 as standard; 3.2 with third-party inspection when ordered. MTC lists heat analysis, mechanical tests, delivery condition and any optional UT / Z / HIC / elevated-temperature results.

What thickness can Gangsteel produce for Q370R?

Commonly 10–60 mm (confirm thicker coverage with mill), width 1500-4000 mm, length 6000-18000 mm. Browse the GB/T 713 hub for the full grade list.
