Description
(S)A516 Gr60 ASTM A516/A516M 30mm*2000mm*9000mm Carbon Steel Plate
For Pressure Vessel Plates
ASTM A516/A516M is a standard specification for pressure vessel
plates, carbon steel, for moderate- and lower-temperature service.
A516 Gr60 is one of the grades specified in this standard.
1. Notch Toughness: A516 Gr60 plates are known for their good notch
toughness, which is the ability of the material to resist the
propagation of cracks. This property is particularly important in
pressure vessel applications where the plate may be subjected to
varying stress conditions.
2. Pressure Vessel Applications: A516 Gr60 is primarily used in the
fabrication of welded pressure vessels operating at moderate
temperatures. These vessels are utilized in various industries such
as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and process
plants. The plates are designed to withstand the internal pressure
exerted by the contained fluid or gas.
3. Heat Treatment: A516 Gr60 plates are typically normalized, which
involves heating the material to a specific temperature and holding
it there for a specified time, followed by cooling in still air.
Normalization improves the plate's mechanical properties,
particularly its notch toughness.

Charactristic
ASTM A516 Grade 60 (A516 Gr60) carbon steel plates possess several
characteristic features that make them suitable for pressure vessel
applications.
1. Strength and Ductility: A516 Gr60 exhibits a balanced
combination of strength and ductility, which is essential for
pressure vessel construction. It has a minimum tensile strength of
415 MPa (60,000 psi) and a minimum yield strength of 220 MPa
(32,000 psi), ensuring the plate can withstand the internal
pressure exerted by the vessel.
2. Notch Toughness: A516 Gr60 plates are known for their good notch
toughness, meaning they have the ability to resist the propagation
of cracks. This characteristic is vital in pressure vessel
applications where the material may be subjected to varying stress
conditions.
3. Moderate- and Lower-Temperature Service: A516 Gr60 is suitable
for moderate- and lower-temperature service, with a specified
temperature range from -20°F (-29°C) to 1000°F (538°C). It can
withstand the operating conditions of various industries, including
oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and process plants.
4. Weldability: A516 Gr60 offers good weldability, making it easier
to fabricate pressure vessels and other welded structures. It can
be readily welded using common welding methods, such as arc
welding, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG), gas metal arc welding
(GMAW/MIG), and submerged arc welding (SAW).
5. Heat Treatment: A516 Gr60 plates are typically normalized, a
heat treatment process that enhances the material's mechanical
properties, particularly its notch toughness. Normalization
involves heating the plate to a specific temperature and holding it
there for a specified time, followed by cooling in still air.
Application
A516 Gr60 is widely used in various applications that require
carbon steel plates for pressure vessel construction.
1. Pressure Vessels: A516 Gr60 is primarily used for the
fabrication of welded pressure vessels. These vessels are employed
in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, power
generation, and process plants. They are designed to contain fluids
or gases under pressure and withstand the internal forces exerted
by the contents.
2. Boilers: A516 Gr60 plates are utilized in the construction of
boilers, particularly in power plants and industrial boiler
systems. These plates are used for components such as steam drums,
water tubes, and headers, which are critical for the generation of
steam used for power generation or industrial processes.
3. Storage Tanks: A516 Gr60 is suitable for the construction of
storage tanks used in various industries. These tanks store liquids
or gases such as petroleum products, chemicals, water, or liquefied
gases. They are commonly found in the oil and gas industry,
chemical plants, and other industries requiring bulk storage.
4. Heat Exchangers: A516 Gr60 is used in the fabrication of heat
exchangers, which are vital components in many industrial
processes. Heat exchangers transfer heat between two fluids,
allowing for efficient heat transfer and temperature control. They
are widely used in industries such as oil refining, chemical
processing, and HVAC systems.
