Applications of ASTM A516 Grade 60
ASTM A516 Grade 60 is widely used in various applications requiring moderate strength and good weldability. Typical applications include:
- Pressure Vessels: Storage tanks, pressure reactors, and pressure vessels for handling steam and other fluids under pressure.
- Boilers: Equipment for steam generation, used in power plants and industrial applications.
- Heat Exchangers: Due to its excellent thermal properties, Grade 60 steel is used in heat exchange systems.
- Chemical Processing: Manufacturing of vessels for handling chemicals at elevated pressures and temperatures.
- Oil and Gas: Tanks, piping, and other infrastructure that need to withstand harsh environments.
For thin plate of A516 Grade 60,normally it can be delivered with As rolled condition,unless specified.
However, Plates with thickness above 40mm normally should be supplied normalized.
SA516-60N reffers to normalized steel plate product, Letter N means .Normalized heat treatment
Standards and Certification
- ASTM A516 Grade 60 N meets the specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM A516) and is also certified under ASME SA516 standards.
- 3.1 and 3.2 certificates can be provided
ASTM A516 Grade 60 steel plates offer an excellent balance of strength, ductility, and weldability for moderate-pressure and high-temperature applications. It is ideal for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and boilers in industries like power generation, oil and gas, and chemical processing.
