Product Description:
ASTM A537 carbon steel plates are known for their excellent tensile
and yield strength, surpassing the performance of pressure vessel
plates that adhere to the required standards of ASTM A516.
At our company, we are fully capable of providing you with ASTM
A537 Class 1 plates aplenty, either from our extensive stock, or
directly sourced from the mill. For your utmost convenience, we
also offer an in-house profiling service, where the material can be
subjected to precision cutting to attain the size and shape you
require.
Features:
Chemical Composition
ASTM A537 is made up of several elements including carbon,
manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The percentage of each element
is carefully controlled and adjusted to achieve the desired
mechanical properties of the material. This is important because
the properties of the material affect its performance in different
applications.
Mechanical Properties
ASTM A537 material is known for its mechanical strength and
durability. This is determined by various mechanical properties:
Yield Strength
The minimum yield strength of class 1 plates is 265 MPa (38,000
psi). However, this value increases for higher classes. Yield
strength is an important property because it tells us the maximum
stress that can be applied to the material before it begins to
deform plastically.
Tensile Strength
The tensile strength of ASTM A537 ranges from 450 MPa (65,000 psi)
to 620 MPa (90,000 psi) depending on the class of the plate. This
property is crucial because it tells us the maximum stress that the
material can withstand before breaking or tearing apart.
Elongation
The minimum elongation of ASTM A537 is around 21% in 200 mm. This
measurement is significant because it tells us how much the
material can stretch before it breaks. A high value for elongation
indicates good ductility, meaning that the material can bend and
deform without breaking easily.

Applications:
ASTM A537 Class 1 Carbon Steel Plate has a wide range of
applications due to its unique properties. The material is made
from normalised steel that is heat-treated, and as a result, it
exhibits greater yield and tensile strength compared to the more
common ASTM A516 grades. The high-strength steel is perfect for use
in pressurised service, specifically in boilers and pressure
vessels.
Gnee is a top supplier of A537 Class 1 plates to the world’s
leading fabricators. These fabricators in turn serve the oil, gas,
and petrochemical industry with this specialized material, where
reliability and durability of the equipment are essential.
