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
For a vessel shell or head, start with the approved material schedule and the governing equipment code. The Grade 70 tensile band helps identify the grade. The vessel design and purchase specification determine what evidence is needed for service at the design temperature.
Before requesting a quote
Send the required thickness, product condition and certificate wording. Where impact testing, ultrasonic inspection or simulation of post-weld heat treatment is required, give the acceptance criteria and test conditions with the enquiry.
Frequently asked questions
Can ASTM A516 and ASME SA-516 be used interchangeably on a vessel order?
Use the designation accepted by the governing construction code. If both are required, request evidence of dual certification before ordering.
