SS Plates for Heat Exchangers & Pressure Vessels

Hindustan Steel Corporation is a trusted supplier of stainless steel plates for heat exchangers and pressure vessel fabrication. With certified grades like SS 304, 316L, 321, 347, and 904L, we supply to chemical plants, oil refineries, fertilizer units, pharma reactors, and power generation boilers.

What Are SS Plates for Heat Exchanger Applications?

These are corrosion-resistant stainless steel plates used in shell & tube heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, and steam vessels. They:

  • Withstand temperature–pressure cycling
  • Resist acidic and chlorinated water corrosion
  • Are compatible with welding and bending
  • Meet global pressure vessel norms (ASME, EN 10028, PED)

Typical Industrial Applications

Our plates are ideal for:

  • Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
  • Plate Heat Exchangers
  • Condensers, Reboilers, Heaters
  • Distillation Columns & Absorbers
  • Steam & Process Pressure Vessels
  • Reactors, Digesters, Flash Tanks
  • Water Heaters, Oil Coolers

Mechanical Properties & Performance in Service

Stainless plates offer:

  1. High strength at elevated temperatures
  2. Good ductility for forming heads & tubesheets
  3. Excellent fatigue life under thermal expansion
  4. Austenitic stability during prolonged operation
  5. Non-reactive surface for food & pharma use

Chemical Resistance in Harsh Media

  • SS 316L / 904L for chloride-bearing cooling water
  • SS 321 / 347 for high temp acid and steam
  • SS 304 for low-to-medium corrosive water or air
  • Duplex S32205 for higher strength + corrosion zones
