ASME SA516 Grade 60
An ideal steel for use in moderate to lower working temperatures, ASME SA516 Grade 60 is used in the fabrication of weldable industrial boilers and steel pressure vessels.
It is a normalized steel which is known for its excellent notch toughness and weldability and is primarily found in pressurised service throughout the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.
At Masteel UK Limited, we carry a significant volume of ASME SA516 Grade 60 carbon steel plates in stock which we ship to our clients worldwide. These plates come with mill certification and are hard stamped so are fully traceable.
