What is the maximum thickness of A516 grade 60 plate

A516 grade 60 plate is subject to ASTM A516/A516M standard, and it is mainly used to make pressure vessels such as oil tanks for moderate and lower temperature services. It will improve the notch toughness of A516 grade 60 plate during the welding work. 

The maximum thickness of A516 grade 60 plate is limited only by the capacity of its composition to meet the specified mechanical property requirements. Generally the maximum thickness of A516 grade 60 plate is 8 in., which is equal to 205 mm. With the improvement of technical process, the limitation may be broke out someday.

A516 grade 60 plate is PVQ carbon steel plate. If it is not thicker than 40mm, the A516 grade 60 plate is normally supplied in as-rolled condition. But if it is thicker than 40mm, the A516 grade 60 plate shall be normalized unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
