Trusted Steel Plates for Steam Generation, Heat Transfer & Pressure Integrity
What Are Steam Boilers and Why Are Specialized Steel Plates Required?
Steam boilers play a critical role across power plants, textile mills, sugar refineries, paper industries, and chemical processing. They generate high-pressure steam through combustion or electrical energy, and this steam powers turbines, sterilizes equipment, or supports thermal processes.
In these extreme thermal and pressure cycles, boiler-quality steel plates form the core of the boiler shell and firebox. The materials must offer:
This is why pressure vessel quality (PVQ) plates such as ASTM A516, SA516, IS 2002, and EN 10028 are widely used for steam boiler applications.
Boiler-grade plates are critical in both vertical fire-tube and horizontal water-tube configurations.
Steam boilers typically operate between 10 to 100 bar pressure and 150°C to 600°C temperature. Therefore, the plate must offer:
Grades such as SA 516 Gr 60 / 70, IS 2002, EN P265GH / P355GH, and A285 Gr C meet these criteria.
Low-carbon, fully killed steel with added manganese, silicon, and optional chromium-molybdenum alloys is ideal for resisting thermal stress and oxidation.
Typical chemistry (e.g. SA 516 Gr 70):
| Standard | Grade | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM / ASME | A516 Gr 60 / 70, SA516 | Fire-tube, water-tube boilers |
| IS 2002 | Gr I / II | Indian code-compliant boilers |
| EN 10028-2 | P265GH, P355GH | European pressure vessels |
| DIN 17155 | HII, 17Mn4 | German-designed steam systems |
| JIS | SB 410, SB 450 | Japanese steam boilers |
All meet IBR certification for Indian regulated pressure vessels.
Cut-to-length boiler plates are often customized for shell, end cap, furnace tube, and stay plates in high-pressure boilers.
We provide MTCs with CE marking for compliance with fabrication codes.
We supply steam boiler plates to:
UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait – refinery boilers
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka – textile dyeing boilers
Kenya, Nigeria – sugar industry
Philippines, Indonesia – biomass & thermal boilers
Europe – retrofitting in industrial utilities
Confirm plate marking before delivery
