What is ASTM A515 grade 60 equivalent

Posted:2020-12-03 11:36:50

ASTM A515 grade 60 steel is carbon steel for moderate or low-temperature service for pressure vessels and boilers. ASTM A515 grade 60 equivalent is ASME SA515 grade 60 steel, which has almost same chemical composition, mechnical properties and performance with A515 grade 60 steel.

ASTM A515 grade 60 equivalent chemical composition and mechnical properties:

ASTM A515 grade 60 ASME SA515 grade 60	C	Mn≥	Si	P	S
Chemical composition(%)	0.24-0.31	0.90	0.15-0.40	0.035	0.035
ASTM A515 grade 60 ASME SA515 grade 60	Tensile Strength(MPa)	Yield Strength(MPa)	% Elongation in 2 in.(50mm) min	Impacting Test Temperature(°C)
Mechanical properties	415-550	220	25	-20,40,-60

ASTM A515 grade 60 equivalent steel is widely used in petroleum, chemical, power plants and boiler industries, and is used in reactors, heat exchangers, separators, spherical tanks, gas tanks, gas tanks, nuclear reactor pressure vessel, boiler steam drum, LPG cylinders, hydropower stations and high pressure water pipes, hydroelectric turbine housing, such as equipment and components.
