Heat Exchanger & Condenser Steel Plates – SA516, SA387, EN 10028

Hindustan Steel Corporation offers precision-engineered steel plates for manufacturing high-performance heat exchangers and condensers. These plates are built to withstand pressure, temperature variation, and corrosive operating environments across process industries.

Whether you’re fabricating shell-and-tube heat exchangers, finned condensers, or pressure-type evaporators — we provide the right material for your application, with global certifications.

What Are Heat Exchangers & Condensers Used For?

Heat exchangers and condensers are vital to industries like:

  • Power Generation (Boilers, HRSG)
  • Oil Refineries & Petrochemicals
  • Food & Beverage Process Plants
  • Pharmaceuticals & API Units
  • HVAC & District Cooling Systems

These units transfer or remove heat in thermal processes, and require plates with high temperature resistance, conductivity, and structural integrity.

Common Applications of Steel Plates in Exchangers & Condensers

We supply plates ideal for:

  • Shell and tube exchangers for oil refineries
  • Condensers in steam turbine systems
  • Process coolers & heaters in chemical plants
  • Urea strippers & reboilers in fertilizer plants
  • Evaporators & brine heaters in desalination

All supplied materials conform to ASME, EN, DIN, and NACE standards.

Mechanical Properties for Heat Transfer Equipment Plates

Heat exchanger steel must have:

  • Tensile Strength: 415–730 MPa
  • Yield Strength: Min 240–460 MPa
  • Good Thermal Conductivity
  • Formability for bending & rolling
  • Resistance to thermal cycling and fatigue
  • HIC compliance for sour services (if applicable)

We offer tested plates with optimal grain structure and uniformity.

Recommended Grades for Heat Exchanger Manufacturing

We stock and supply:

  • ASTM A516 Gr 60 / 70 – General-purpose exchanger material
  • ASTM A387 Gr 11 / Gr 22 – Chrome-moly for elevated temperature
  • EN 10028-2 P265GH / P355NH – Pressure applications in Europe
  • DIN 17155 HII / 17Mn4 – Legacy equipment and rebuilds
  • HIC Tested Plates – For condensers in hydrogen sulfide service

Available in both normalized and quenched & tempered conditions.

Sizes, Thickness & Cut Shape Options

Available dimensions:

  1. Thickness: 5 mm to 120 mm
  2. Widths: 1500 mm to 3000 mm
  3. Lengths: Up to 12 meters
  4. Shapes: Flat sheets, tube sheet blanks, curved profiles, custom nested cuts

We also offer edge-prepped and bevelling-ready sheets for pressure vessel heads and tube sheets.

Heat Treatment Options for Thermal Stability

Our steel plates can be supplied as:

  • As-Rolled or Normalized (for standard exchangers)
  • Quenched and Tempered (for high-temp applications)
  • Stress Relieved (for post-weld applications)
  • PWHT-compatible (Post-Weld Heat Treatment)

All plates are delivered with treatment traceability and inspection reports.

Fabrication, Welding & Fitment Benefits

  • xcellent weldability with low carbon equivalents
  • Suitable for CNC machining of tube sheets
  • Drillable, rollable, bendable – Easy to form and shape
  • Available with IGC, HIC, UT, RT, and PMI reports
  • Low residual stress – Perfect for welding into vessels

Our plates reduce post-weld defects and fitment errors in shell-tube construction.

Buyer Guide – Selecting Plates for Heat Transfer Equipment

  • Plate must withstand working fluid temperature & pressure
  • Is the application acidic, saline, or steam-based
  • Verify weldability & formability based on design
  • Check for HIC / SSC / IGC testing if sour service
  • Choose right grade: carbon steel vs chrome-moly vs stainless

We support your procurement with technical datasheets and fast samples.

Mill Test Certificates, Inspection & Standards Followed

Every plate comes with:

  • EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 MTC
  • IBR, NACE, PED certifications (if needed)
  • Hydrotest / UT / RT / HIC / IGC reports
  • Chemical & Mechanical test sheets
  • Tested as per ASME, ASTM, DIN, EN norms

Third-party inspection welcome (Lloyds, TUV, SGS, BV, etc.)

FAQs – Common Buyer Questions Answered

Functionally, both transfer heat. Exchangers handle two fluids; condensers turn vapor into liquid. Plates for both must resist corrosion and pressure.

Yes, especially in low to moderate pressure and temperature range. For higher temps, A387 is preferred.

We supply raw, cut, and edge-prepped plates. Drilling and CNC machining can be coordinated with our partner fabricators.

Yes. We offer EN 10028 plates with PED & CE markings, and ASME-certified grades for international applications.
