ASTM A516 Grade 60 is a boiler and pressure vessel quality steel which is ideal for moderate and lower temperature service.
The A516 / SA516 standard, its full name is "Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and Lower-Temperature Service", is widely used by designers and engineers in many market sectors particularly outside of Europe. You may also see the following variations:
ASTM A516 Gr. 60N or ASME SA516 Gr. 60N – the "N" is added to show that the steel is normalised
ASTM A516M or ASME SA516M – the "M" indicates that the material is certified in metric units
ASTM A516 Grade 60 Testing
Boiler steel can also be tested for susceptibility to the effects of hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) where the build up of hydrogen sulphide can potentially cause the boiler to fail.
