Exporting IS 8917 DSQ Plates Across Africa

Hindustan Steel Corporation is a trusted DSQ Plate Exporter to Africa, delivering high-formability plates conforming to IS 8917:1978 across major African countries. From South Africa and Kenya to Egypt and Nigeria, our Dead Soft Quality (DSQ) plates are in demand for their bendability, uniform surface finish, and suitability for tank making and acid line fabrication.

We supply DSQ sheets for:

  • Galvanizing tanks and steel pickling lines
  • Acid/chemical storage vessels
  • Electroplating and processing trays
  • Pressed and formed ducting systems

DSQ Plate Applications in African Industries

Whether it’s mining refineries in Zambia, steel pickling plants in Egypt, or acid storage in West African ports, DSQ plates are ideal for:

  • Galvanized zinc processing
  • Sulphuric acid storage
  • Nickel and copper refinery tanks
  • Custom-shaped chemical containers
  • Tanker trailer lining and drum manufacturing

Mechanical Properties (IS 8917 DSQ Plate)

We export fully compliant DSQ plates with:

  • Yield Strength: 240–260 MPa
  • Tensile Strength: 370–410 MPa
  • Elongation: ≥ 30%
  • Hardness: Dead Soft – ideal for deep drawing and rolling

Chemical Composition of DSQ Material

  • Carbon: ≤ 0.15%
  • Manganese: 0.30–0.60%
  • Sulphur & Phosphorus: ≤ 0.04%

These values ensure chemical stability, bend performance, and acid compatibility.

IS 8917:1978 – Indian Standard for DSQ Export

Our DSQ sheets are exported with full IS 8917 compliance and are suitable for regions where EN or ASTM equivalents are unavailable or too costly. African buyers prefer IS 8917 material due to:

  • Low-cost sourcing from India
  • Excellent cold forming ability
  • Guaranteed ductility in marine and acid plant environments

Available Sizes & Export Packing

We supply DSQ plates with global shipping specs:

  1. Thickness: 3mm to 40mm
  2. Width: 1000mm to 2500mm
  3. Length: 5000mm–6300mm or custom cut
  4. Packing: Seaworthy pallets, metal strapped bundles, edge-protected
  5. Export-ready docs: MTC, COO, Packing List, Commercial Invoice, Inspection Report

Fabrication Support for Tank Builders

African buyers appreciate the easy formability of DSQ:

  • Deep drawing for square/round tanks
  • CNC cutting and bending
  • Weldability for acid-tight applications
  • Suitable for rubber lining or epoxy coating

Finish & Surface Quality

We export:

  1. HR finish DSQ plates
  2. Bright finish DSQ blanks
  3. Rough surface DSQ sheets for better acid adhesion

All tailored to project use in acid and pickling lines.

Why African Buyers Trust HIND DSQ Plates

  • Custom thickness range for galvanizing projects
  • Export experience to South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt
  • DSQ stock cut-to-size with urgent lead time
  • Multilingual documentation and port-to-door logistics support

Complementary Grades for Export

  • DSQ Plates with A283 Grade C chemical compatibility
  • IS 2062 for support structures
  • ASTM A36 for structural pairing
  • Pickling Line Compatible DSQ Rolls

Export Packaging & Shipping to Africa

  1. Container load (20FT / 40FT)
  2. Edge protection and anti-rust wrapping
  3. HS Code: 7208.51 / 7208.39
  4. Shipping from Nhava Sheva / Mundra with CFR, CIF, FOB terms

Tips for DSQ Plate Buyers in Africa

  • Confirm IS 8917 on MTC before approval
  • Match plate thickness to galvanizing or acid tank specs
  • Choose mill finish or rough finish depending on coating method
  • Ask for ultrasonic test and formability report if tank lining required

Certifications & Documentation for Africa

  • BIS IS 8917:1978 Certificate
  • ISO 9001:2015 compliance
  • Form A / Country of Origin (India)
  • CE & ROHS declaration (on request)
  • Third-party inspection (SGS / BV / Intertek)
