Posted:2020-11-27 11:10:10

ASTM A516 grade 60 steel is a boiler and pressure vessel quality steel. Thanks for ASTM A516 grade 60 properties, the steel is ideal for moderate and lower temperature service. Pressure vessel steel ASTM A516 grade 60 is used extensively by industrial boiler and pressure vessel fabricators who provide manufacturing support to the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.

Pressure vessel steel ASTM A516 grade 60 properties - chemical composition:

Grade	Max. C % for thickness t (mm)				Mn % for thickness t (mm)		Si %	P % max	S % max
	6-12.5mm	12.5-25mm	25-50mm	>50mm	≤12.5mm	>12.5mm
A516 grade 60	0.21	0.23	0.23	0.25	0.6-0.9	0.80-1.20	0.13-0.45	0.035	0.035

Pressure vessel steel ASTM A516 grade 60 properties - mechanical property:

Grade	Tensile strength	Minimum yield strength	Minimum elongation (%) gauge length
	(MPa)	(MPa)	50mm	200mm
A516 grade 60	415 - 550	220	25	21

Pressure vessel steel ASTM A516 grade 60 has good weldability and excellent notch toughness. The addition of alloy in the right quantity is making A516 grade 60 steel ideal choice for various purposes as it tends to offer several excellent features.
