Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies ASME SA516 Grade 60 and Grade 70 boiler-quality plates for critical pressure applications. Dual-certified, IBR-approved, and sourced from approved mills, our plates meet the mechanical and toughness requirements for steam boilers, storage tanks, and pressure vessels operating at moderate to low temperatures.
These plates are normalized or stress-relieved for superior notch toughness and are suitable for welding and forming across high-load environments. Whether you’re fabricating chemical reactors or steam drums, SA516 Gr 60/70 steel plates offer outstanding performance, durability, and compliance with global pressure vessel standards.
ASME SA516 is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers version of the ASTM A516 standard. It specifies carbon steel pressure vessel plates for moderate-temperature service. The plates are primarily used in welded pressure vessels, where notch toughness and formability are critical.
Key identifiers:
All grades are typically normalized to meet Charpy V-notch impact test values and support applications involving hydrogen, steam, and acidic service.
SA516 plates are among the most widely used materials in the fabrication of boiler systems, pressure tanks, and heat exchangers. Key industrial applications include:
These plates are also used in cryogenic service (when normalized) and acidic environments (when HIC tested).
| Property | SA516 Gr 60 | SA516 Gr 70 |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (ksi) | 60–80 (415–550 MPa) | 70–90 (485–620 MPa) |
| Yield Strength (min) | 32 ksi (220 MPa) | 38 ksi (260 MPa) |
| Elongation (%) | Min 21% (varies by thickness) | Min 17% |
| Notch Toughness | CVN Impact @ -46°C (optional) | Higher in normalized plates |
| Thickness Range | 6mm to 150mm | 6mm to 150mm |
Grade 70 is the preferred choice for higher mechanical stress conditions, while Grade 60 is suitable for cost-sensitive and general pressure applications.
ASME SA516 is aligned with global pressure vessel codes and specifications, particularly where low- to moderate-temperature service is required. It is one of the most recognized boiler steel standards used in power and chemical industries.
Here are close equivalents to SA516 Gr 60 and Gr 70:

SA516 Gr 60/70 plates are available in several heat-treated forms, depending on application criticality:
Hindustan Steel Corporation offers plates with Charpy V-Notch (CVN) impact values, as per project requirement — especially for -20°C to -46°C environments in power and chemical industries.
ASME SA516 plates are known for their superior weldability, cuttability, and post-fabrication performance. Here’s how to work with them:
All plates can be delivered with ultrasonic testing (UT), ID stamping, heat marking, and full MTC traceability.
We don’t just sell steel — we supply certified boiler plate solutions that reduce downtime, rework, and fabrication risk.
