ASTM A516 is a standard specification for pressure vessel-grade carbon steel plates intended for moderate and lower temperature service. It specifies the requirements for normalized, impact-resistant, and fine-grained carbon steel plates used in the fabrication of welded pressure vessels.
The A516 steel plates are available in various grades and thicknesses, such as A516 Grade 70, A516 Grade 60, A516 Grade 65, and others. These plates are widely used in the oil, gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries where high strength and excellent notch toughness are required for operating under different temperature conditions.
