SA 516 GR.65 PLATES Features

• » Intermediate Strength Profile: Provides a tensile strength of 450–585 MPa, offering a higher pressure rating than Grade 60 while maintaining excellent ductility for cold forming.
• » Optimized Notch Toughness: Manufactured using fine-grain practice to ensure superior impact resistance, particularly critical for vessels operating in moderate to lower temperature environments.
• » Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ): Fully compliant with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements, ensuring high structural integrity under extreme internal stresses.
• » Excellent Weldability: The controlled chemical composition allows for high-quality, defect-free welding, ensuring the long-term safety of longitudinal and circumferential vessel joints.
• » Fully Killed Carbon Steel: Deoxidized during the steelmaking process to produce a uniform chemical and mechanical structure, minimizing internal impurities and laminar tearing.
• » Enhanced Service Life: Offers reliable performance in demanding oil, gas, and chemical processing environments where material fatigue and thermal stress are constant factors.
• » Normalized Heat Treatment: Typically supplied in a normalized condition for thicknesses exceeding 40mm to refine grain structure and enhance toughness across the entire plate.
• » Versatile Fabrication: Highly adaptable for rolling into shells, pressing into dished ends, and manufacturing high-pressure heat exchanger components.
