Looking for stainless steel plates that meet international quality standards but are manufactured locally in India? At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply Indian equivalents to globally accepted standards like ASTM A240 (American) and EN 10088 / EN 10028 (European), ensuring both performance and cost-effectiveness. Our plates comply with domestic codes while offering mechanical and chemical properties matching their foreign counterparts.
Indian equivalents to ASTM A240 and EN stainless steel grades refer to BIS-approved steel plate grades manufactured as per Indian standards (like IS 6911 or IS 5522) but chemically and mechanically matching global benchmarks. For example:
| Global Standard | Grade | Indian Equivalent (Indicative) |
| ASTM A240 | SS 304 / 316 / 321 | IS 6911 Gr 04Cr18Ni9 / 04Cr17Ni12Mo2 |
| EN 10088 / 10028 | 1.4301 / 1.4401 / 1.4541 | IS 6911 / IS 5522 equivalents |
These equivalents allow Indian industries to procure domestically produced stainless steel plates with proven quality, traceability, and adherence to international metallurgy.
Indian equivalent stainless steel plates are used widely across:
Our Indian-made plates are manufactured to match the tensile strength, elongation, hardness, and yield strength of their global counterparts. For example:
You get comparable structural performance at significantly better pricing and local availability.
| Element | SS 304 / IS 6911 Eq. | SS 316 / IS 6911 Eq. | SS 321 / IS 6911 Eq. |
| Carbon | ≤ 0.08% | ≤ 0.08% | ≤ 0.08% |
| Chromium | 18–20% | 16–18% | 17–19% |
| Nickel | 8–10.5% | 10–14% | 9–12% |
| Molybdenum | — | 2–3% | — |
| Titanium | — | — | ≥ 5x(C%) |
All materials come with test certificates, confirming chemical conformance to both Indian and international codes.
Indian equivalents to ASTM A240 and EN 10028 plates are governed by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Common applicable Indian specifications include:
These BIS grades are carefully aligned with AISI, ASTM, and EN designations in terms of performance, making them ideal for Indian users needing export-compatible steel.
