ASTM A516 Grade 60 is a carbon steel plate grade primarily used for boilers and pressure vessels where moderate to low temperature service is required. This material has good weldability and is intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels. It offers good mechanical properties for this application, such as moderate strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for handling pressurized contents in various environments.
Tensile Strength: Typically ranges between 415–550 MPa (60–80 ksi).
Yield Strength: Generally around 220 MPa (32 ksi), which is considered moderate.
Elongation: Good ductility with elongation percentages that help it endure the high stress and pressure found in boilers and pressure vessels.
Impact Resistance: A516 Gr. 60 offers moderate toughness, suitable for applications with potential temperature fluctuations.
ASTM A516 Gr. 60 is widely used in industries such as oil, gas, and petrochemicals for fabricating tanks, boilers, and other pressure-holding equipment.
For higher temperature and pressure needs, ASTM A516 comes in other grades like 65 and 70, offering increased strength.
