Power Plant Fabrication – Boiler & Pressure Vessel Grade Steel Plates

Engineered Steel Plates for Reliable Power Generation Projects

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply specialized boiler and pressure vessel grade steel plates that meet the critical demands of power plant fabrication. From thermal to combined-cycle and nuclear installations, our plates are engineered for temperature resistance, structural reliability, and superior weldability—ideal for fabricating high-pressure components like boilers, heat exchangers, headers, economizers, and pressure vessels.

What Is Power Plant Fabrication and Where Are Plates Used?

Power plant fabrication involves constructing critical energy infrastructure such as steam generators, economizers, pressure tubes, boiler drums, and HRSG (heat recovery steam generator) modules. These systems endure high temperatures and pressures, requiring plates that meet stringent ASME, ASTM, EN, or IBR standards. Our plates are used in:

  • Boiler tubes and shell structures
  • Steam drum shells
  • Reactor and pressure vessel enclosures
  • Superheaters and reheaters
  • Air preheaters and ducting systems

Application Areas – Where These Plates Perform

Our boiler and pressure vessel plates are widely used across:

  • Thermal Power Plants (Coal-fired, Gas-fired)
  • Nuclear Power Stations
  • Biomass and Waste-to-Energy Plants
  • Captive Power Generation Units (Cogen/Trigeneration)
  • Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Plants

Mechanical Properties That Withstand High Thermal Stress

We supply plates with:

  • Yield Strength: 240 – 460 MPa (depending on grade)
  • Tensile Strength: 450 – 750 MPa
  • Elongation: > 20%
  • Impact tested (Charpy V-notch) at -20°C / -46°C
  • Thickness: 6 mm to 150 mm

These values ensure the steel can resist pressure surges and cyclic thermal loads.

Which Grades Are Used in Power Plant Pressure Equipment?

We offer plates conforming to:

  • ASTM A516 Grade 60 / 70
  • ASME SA387 Gr 11 / Gr 22 (Chrome Moly)
  • EN 10028 P265GH / P355NH
  • DIN 17155 HII / 17Mn4
  • HIC & NACE Tested Boiler Plates
  • IBR Certified Grades for Indian installations

Thickness, Width, and Size Options for Power Plant Projects

  1. Thickness range: 6 mm to 150 mm
  2. Widths up to 3000 mm
  3. Custom lengths available on request
  4. Profile cut-to-size with beveling and edge prep

Heat Treatment for Pressure Resistance

Plates are supplied in:

  • Normalized (N)
  • Normalized + Tempered (N+T)
  • Quenched & Tempered (Q+T) as per project needs

Each plate undergoes controlled furnace heat treatment to ensure grain refinement and elevated temperature strength.

Fabrication Notes for Boiler & Power Equipment

  • All grades are suitable for welding, bending, and rolling
  • Compatible with SAW, TIG, MIG, and SMAW welding
  • Plates can be machined and drilled for flange mounting and integration
  • Shot blasting, primer coating, and MTC/UT reports provided

Buyer Tips for Sourcing Power Plant Plates

  • Check project spec sheets for allowable stress, impact values, and pressure classes
  • Request IBR/NACE/HIC compliance certificates if used in corrosive/Indian installations
  • Ensure dual-certified plates if project spans both Indian and international codes

Certifications and Quality Approvals

  • ISO 9001:2015
  • PED 2014/68/EU
  • IBR Certification
  • NACE MR0175 / HIC Tested
  • ASTM / ASME / EN / DIN compliance

FAQs – Power Plant Grade Boiler Plates

SA387 Gr 11/22 or EN 10028 P355NH are commonly used for high-pressure steam drums and headers.

Yes, all our pressure vessel grades are available with IBR-approved certificates.

Typically 8 mm to 100 mm, depending on the equipment—economizers may need thinner plates, while drums and reactors use thicker ones.

HIC (Hydrogen Induced Cracking) testing is vital if the plant handles sour gases or acid condensate. We offer HIC-tested options for such environments.
