What is SA516 Gr 60 steel plate?
ASME SA516 Grade 60 Steel Plate is one of the most popular steel grades. It is primarily intended for use in welded pressure vessels where notch toughness is important. These grades cover a range of tensile strengths from 55 - 90 MPa and this versatility explains much of the specifications popularity.
ASME S516 specification steel
ASME SA516 specification steel is used throughout the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industry and can be tested to exceed your specified requirements. HIC Testing is one such requirement as this material is used commonly in sour service/ wet h2s corrosive environments and so knowing how susceptible the material will be to hydrogen sulphide corrosion is imperative
