What is ASTM A516 Grade 60/70 Steel Plate?

ASTM A516, also known as ASME SA516, is a pressure vessel quality carbon steel plate standard designed for moderate to low temperature service.

Key Features of ASTM A516 Grade 60 and Grade 70:

Property Grade 60 Grade 70
Yield Strength Min 220 MPa Min 260 MPa
Tensile Strength 415–550 MPa 485–620 MPa
Service Temp Down to -20°C Down to -29°C (when normalized)

Key Benefits:

  • Excellent notch toughness
  • Good weldability
  • Suitable for NACE, HIC, and impact-tested applications (when specified)

Available in both:

  • As-rolled
  • Normalized condition

Applications Across Industries

  • Boiler manufacturing – Shells, heads, end plates
  • Pressure vessel fabrication – Oil storage, gas separation, LPG storage
  • Heat exchangers

Buyer Guide: When to Choose A516 Grade 60 vs Grade 70

Choose ASTM A516 Grade 60 if:

  • Your project requires moderate pressure and temperature performance
  • Cost optimization is a priority
  • Project allows lower tensile strength material

Choose ASTM A516 Grade 70 if:

  • You need higher yield and tensile strength
  • The project involves higher pressure or lower temperature (-29°C) service
  • Impact-tested normalized plates are specified

For HIC / NACE service, we recommend special tested plates in Grade 70N.
