Product Description:
ASTM A537 carbon steel plates are known for their superior tensile and yield strength when compared to pressure vessel plates supplied under the ASTM A516 standard.
At our company, we have a ready stock of ASTM A537 Class 1 plates, or we can directly supply them from the mill. Our in-house profiling service allows us to cut the material to the size or shape that you require, providing a customized solution for your needs.
Features:
Chemical Composition
ASTM A537 is typically made up of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The composition of these elements is carefully controlled to achieve desired mechanical properties.
Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of ASTM A537 plate are important in determining its suitability for various industrial applications. The following are some of the key mechanical properties:
Yield Strength
The minimum yield strength of class 1 plates is 265 MPa (38,000 psi). For higher classes, the yield strength increases. This measurement is crucial in determining the point at which a material will deform permanently when subjected to stress.
Tensile Strength
The tensile strength of ASTM A537 plates varies depending on the class of the plate, ranging from 450 MPa (65,000 psi) to 620 MPa (90,000 psi). This measurement determines the maximum amount of stress that a material can withstand before breaking.
Elongation
The minimum elongation for ASTM A537 is around 21% in 200 mm. This indicates good ductility, which is the measure of a material's ability to deform without fracturing under stress.

- C: There is no requirement for elongation in 8 in
Applications:
The ASTM A537 Class 1 Carbon Steel Plate has a wide range of applications. This material is a normalised steel that undergoes heat treatment, thereby displaying greater yield and tensile strength as compared to the more standard ASTM A516 grades.
The steel is particularly suitable for use in pressurised services, such as boilers and pressure vessels, due to its high strength and durability. As a result, Gnee specializes in supplying A537 Class 1 plates to the world's leading fabricators who cater to the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industry.
