Description
SA 516 Grade 70 Circle / Ring / Square / Profile Cutting
SA 516 Grade 70 Circle refers to a circular piece of steel plate or bar made from the ASME SA 516 Grade 70 specification, a carbon steel used in Pressure Vessel Fabrication. These circular products are manufactured for use in high-pressure applications, such as boilers, heat exchangers, and the oil and gas industry, due to their high strength, toughness, and weldability.
Textron Steel and Alloys supply high quality carbon steel plate for boiler and pressure vessel fabrication which is ideally suited to the high standards set by the oil, gas and petrochemical industry – this is why we stock an extensive range of carbon plates according to ASTM A516 Grade 70 and ASME SA516 Grade 70.
The carbon steel plates come with mill certification in accordance with EN10204 3.1 or EN10204 3.2.
The ASTM A516 specification is the Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and Lower Temperature Service for plates with the intended service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important. ASTM A516-70 and ASME SA516-70 steel plate products are made from carbon-manganese steels and produced to pressure vessel quality(PVQ) standards as delineated in ASTM A20/ASME SA20.
SA 516 Gr 70 is a carbon steel plate grade primarily used for welded pressure vessels where toughness is crucial. Its name indicates a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi (485 MPa) and a minimum yield strength of 38 ksi (260 MPa). This material is valued for its robustness, weldability, and good performance at low to moderate temperatures, making it widely used in industries like petroleum, chemical, and power generation for boilers and other vessels.
Common applications of SA 516 Grade 70 Plates :
Typical applications are pressure vessels designed for moderate and lower-temperature service requiring excellent notch toughness
Oil and Gas : Used in pipelines, offshore drilling rigs, and processing facilities.
Pressure Vessels : A primary material for fabricating vessels that store and transport high-pressure liquids and gases.
Boilers and Power Generation : Employed in the construction of boilers for power generation and other related equipment like steam turbines.
Other Industries : Also used in the chemical, pulp and paper, and mining industries.
