ASTM A537 Pressure Vessel Grade A Class 1/2 Hot Rolled Steel Plate

Product Description:

Features:

ASTM A537 is made up of several elements including carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The percentage of each element is carefully controlled and adjusted to achieve the desired mechanical properties of the material. This is important because the properties of the material affect its performance in different applications.

ASTM A537 material is known for its mechanical strength and durability. This is determined by various mechanical properties:

The minimum yield strength of class 1 plates is 265 MPa (38,000 psi). However, this value increases for higher classes. Yield strength is an important property because it tells us the maximum stress that can be applied to the material before it begins to deform plastically.

The tensile strength of ASTM A537 ranges from 450 MPa (65,000 psi) to 620 MPa (90,000 psi) depending on the class of the plate. This property is crucial because it tells us the maximum stress that the material can withstand before breaking or tearing apart.

The minimum elongation of ASTM A537 is around 21% in 200 mm. This measurement is significant because it tells us how much the material can stretch before it breaks. A high value for elongation indicates good ductility, meaning that the material can bend and deform without breaking easily.

Technical Parameters:

The chemical composition of A537 can be described using the following ASTM specifications:

B: See specification A20/A20M for elongation adjustments.

C: There is no requirement for elongation in 8 in.

Applications:

ASTM A537 Class 1 Carbon Steel Plate has a wide range of applications due to its unique properties. The material is made from normalised steel that is heat-treated, and as a result, it exhibits greater yield and tensile strength compared to the more common ASTM A516 grades. The high-strength steel is perfect for use in pressurised service, specifically in boilers and pressure vessels.

Gnee is a top supplier of A537 Class 1 plates to the world’s leading fabricators. These fabricators in turn serve the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry with this specialized material, where reliability and durability of the equipment are essential.
