Steel Plates
ASTM A 36
ASTM A 36 steel is a widely accepted general purpose structural quality steel offering a constant 36 ksi min. yield point for all thicknesses of material. It is widely used in the construction of buildings, bridges and other structures by means of welding, bolting or riveting. This steel is useful because of its wide availability.
ASTM A 283
ASTM A 283 covers low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates for general manufacturing and constructional applications.This material is normally supplied in the rimmed or semikilled types of steel and is particularly suitable for the economical production of assemblies requiring a considerable amount of forming. Variations in low temperature impact properties are great and these steels are not recommended for those applications requiring low temperature notch toughness.
ASTM A 285
Specification for Low and Intermediate
Tensile Strength Carbon Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels
ASTM A 285 covers three grades of low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels up to a maximum of 2″ thick. This material is normally supplied in the rimmed or semi-killed types and is particularly suitable for economic production for low-pressure vessels coming under the jurisdiction of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code.
ASTM A 242
Specification for High Strength Low Alloy Structural SteelsASTM A 242 covers high strength low alloy steel shapes, plates and bars for welded, riveted or bolted construction intended primarily for use as structural members where saving in weight or added durability are important.
ASTM A 515
Specification for Carbon Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels for Intermediate and Higher Temperature ServicASTM A 515 covers steel plates of intermediate tensile strength for pressure vessels to be operated at intermediate or higher temperatures. The four grades offer excellent combinations of strength, weldability and toughness to permit designers flexibility in the design of pressure vessels coming under the jurisdiction of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code.
ASTM A 516
Specification for Carbon Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels for Moderate and Lower Temperature Service
ASTM A 516 covers steel plates of intermediate tensile strength for pressure vessels to be operated at atmospheric or lowertemperatures. The four grades offer excellent combinations of strength, weldability and toughness to permit designers flexibility in the design of pressure vessels coming under the jurisdiction of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code.
