ASTM A283 is a standard specification for low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates. It covers four grades of carbon steel plates: A283 Grade A, A283 Grade B, A283 Grade C, and A283 Grade D. These plates are used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and general structural applications.
ASTM A283 carbon steel plates offer excellent weldability and formability and are commonly used in structural applications requiring low and intermediate tensile strength. They have good dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Additionally, A283 Grade C and A283 Grade D plates can be used for storage tanks and low-pressure, temperature-controlled vessels.
