ASTM A285 steel Specification

Specification: ASTM A285 steel

Steel grades: ASTM A285 Grade C steel

The ASTM A285 steel specification covers low to intermediate tensile strength carbon steel for use in non–critical pressure vessel applications.

A285 steel is used as a weldable material in the fabrication of pressure vessels and industrial boilers using fusion welding i.e. the joining of the material by melting them together to form one. A285 steel offered at a maximum thickness of 50mm for all grades to ensure internal robustness.

As ASTM A285 steel does not promote high tensile strength, it is used commonly in the fabrication of storage tanks and low pressure temperature controlled vessels. ASTM A285 Grade C is a low to intermediate yield steel used in the fabrication of carbon steel pressure vessels and boilers.

The steel is intended for use in standard tanks and boilers rather than high pressured vessels due to the steels lower yield strength. ASTM A285 Grade C is supplied throughout the oil gas and petrochemical industry.
Shanghai Katalor Industry Co., Ltd offers the most common grade, ASTM 285 Grade C, in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, and is available as ex–stock or directly shipped from the mill. As with all our steels, our plates come with mill test certification and stampings and we can arrange for a variety of tests to be performed on the material if specified.
Alternatively, the customer can arrange testing via a third party testing house. Although only effective in lower pressure environments, ASTM 285 Grade C is found throughout industry in a wide range or low pressured applications. ASTM A285 Grade C is used in a range of other applications including structural, mechanical and general engineering purposes.
