Detailed product specifications
Product identification
| Parameter / condition | Value / requirement |
|---|---|
| Grade | A36 |
| Product standard | ASTM A36/A36M |
| Product form | Steel plate |
Technical reference
| Parameter / condition | Value / requirement |
|---|---|
| Strength reference | 250 MPa minimum yield for the commonly specified plate range; verify the thickness exception and unit system. |
| Tensile strength reference | 400–550 MPa |
| Heat analysis | Check the plate row for the ordered thickness, including the carbon and manganese limits. |
Ordering and inspection
| Parameter / condition | Value / requirement |
|---|---|
| Dimensions and quantity | Specify thickness × width × length, pieces or total mass. |
| Certificate and traceability | State the inspection document required and link each plate to its heat number. |
The stated values use the rule edition shown above. Select the contract standard, thickness, delivery condition and test specimen together; the supplied plate certificate records the actual heat results.
Where this plate fits
Check the material callout before pricing a cut list. In a structural drawing, ASTM A36 identifies a carbon structural steel. A similar marking on a marine material schedule can refer to a different rule and inspection route. For base plates and gussets, quote the finished blanks and the plate specification together.
Before requesting a quote
If you need blanks instead of full plates, send the drawing revision, quantity and tolerances for the cut edges and holes. State any impact testing separately so it can be checked before the order is placed.
Frequently asked questions
Is structural ASTM A36 the same as AH36 hull plate?
AH36 must be ordered under the applicable hull-material rules. Have the project engineer and classification authority approve any proposed substitution.
