HIND DSQ Plate for Acid Resistance – Built for Harsh Chemical Environments

Hindustan Steel Corporation presents HIND DSQ Plates, engineered specifically for acid-resistant fabrication like pickling tanks, acid storage vessels, electroplating units, and lined process tanks. Made from Dead Soft Quality steel, these plates are ideal for environments where acid contact, corrosion risk, and forming challenges intersect.

Whether you’re handling hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or ferric chloride, our DSQ plates are lamination-free, bendable, and perfect for rubber, FRP, or PVC lining — ensuring safety, durability, and formability.

What Makes HIND DSQ Plates Acid Compatible?

Not all mild steel plates can withstand acidic conditions. HIND DSQ plates are made with:

  • Low carbon content → Better resistance to acid corrosion
  • Fine-grain structure → Perfect for FRP/rubber lining
  • Smooth lamination-free surface → Superior bonding with coating layers
  • Cold-formable properties → No cracks during tank/pipe shaping

These properties make HIND DSQ a reliable base material for tanks and vessels that are later lined, coated, or shielded for acid applications.

Where HIND DSQ Plates Are Used in Acid Handling

  • Acid storage tanks (lined with FRP/rubber)
  • Pickling tanks for mild steel processing
  • Electroplating tanks – copper, nickel, zinc, chrome
  • Neutralization and dosing tanks
  • Drainage sumps & underground pits
  • Exhaust ducts & chemical vent pipes

These applications need smooth forming, perfect welding, and lining compatibility — all of which HIND DSQ delivers.

Mechanical & Chemical Features That Help Resist Acid Exposure

Parameter Value
Yield Strength 200 – 250 MPa
UTS 310 – 410 MPa
Elongation ≥ 25%
Surface Hardness < 100 BHN
Lamination Level Zero / QC passed
Carbon Content < 0.20%
Standard IS 8917:1978 compliant

These values ensure low internal stress, reduced acid attack risk, and seamless bonding with liners like FRP, PVDF, HDPE, and lead.

Standard Followed – Indian Specification IS 8917:1978

HIND DSQ complies with IS 8917, the Indian BIS standard for mild steel plates meant for cold-forming and post-lining usage.

Compared to structural grades like IS 2062, IS 8917 ensures:

  • Higher ductility
  • Better surface finish
  • Lamination-free rolling
  • Superior shaping capacity

That’s why IS 8917-based DSQ is ideal as a base metal for acid-resistant tanks.

Available Sizes – Sheets, Plates, Rolled Circles

You can order HIND DSQ Plates in:

  • Thickness: 2 mm to 16 mm
  • Width: 1000 mm, 1250 mm, 1500 mm, 2000 mm
  • Length: up to 6000 mm or custom cut-to-length
  • Shapes: Rectangular, Circular, Conical Blanks, Rolled Shells

We also supply custom pre-formed tank shapes to save fabrication time.

Cold Forming and Coating Friendly

HIND DSQ is designed for:

  • Cold rolling into shells
  • Deep forming into pits or sumps
  • Lining with acid-resistant materials (FRP, PP, PVDF, Rubber, HDPE)
  • Clean adhesion of chemical-resistant coatings

It reduces risk of stress cracking, delamination, and acid seepage — key risks with lower-grade mild steel.

Fabrication Guide – For Acid Tank Builders

🧰 Before Lining
→ Shot blast or acid clean the DSQ surface for best liner bonding.

🧰 During Forming
→ Maintain grain orientation, use smooth dies for 1T–2T bends.

🧰 Welding Tip
→ Use low hydrogen electrodes or TIG/MIG for stress-free joints.

🧰 Post-Fab QC
→ Perform vacuum leak test or hydro test before liner application.

Our team can also advise on liner compatibility, cutting, and forming sequences.

Why HIND DSQ Is the Best Steel for Acid Lining Applications

Feature Generic HR Plate HIND DSQ Plate
Acid Resistance Base Low Moderate (with lining)
Lamination Risk High Zero (QC tested)
Bonding with FRP/Rubber Liner May Fail Excellent
Cold Forming Capability Limited 1T–2T radius forming
Surface Finish for Coating Rough Smooth / Clean

Related Grades We Offer for Acid-Resistant Applications

  • ASTM A283 Grade C – Good ductility + coating compatibility
  • IS 2062 E250A/B (Non-laminated) – Basic option for cost-sensitive tanks
  • HIND DSQ+ – Enhanced DSQ with tighter forming specs
  • DSQ Plates for Galvanizing Tanks – Similar usage, different coatings

Talk to our team to match the right plate to chemical handled + liner used.

Export Supply – For Acid Tank Makers & Lining Contractors

We supply acid-resistant HIND DSQ plates to:

Key Buying Tips for Acid-Related Projects

🔎 Look for these while sourcing:

  • IS 8917 standard on the test report
  • Hardness < 100 BHN
  • No lamination or scale on plate
  • Elongation > 25%
  • Surface prep support (if coating/lining to be done)

If you’re unsure — send us your chemical MSDS + tank design — we’ll help select the safest and most durable base plate.
