ASTM A516 – Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and Lower-Temperature Service

Grade: 60

 

Chemical Requirements

Elements Grade60[415]
Carbon,max A,B:
    1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] and under 0.21
    Over 1⁄2 in. to 2 in. [12.5 to 50 mm], incl 0.23
    Over 2 in. to 4 in. [50 to 100 mm], incl 0.25
    Over 4 to 8 in. [100 to 200 mm], incl 0.27
    Over 8 in. [200 mm] 0.27
ManganeseB:
    1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] and under:
        Heat analysis 0.60-0.90
        Product analysis 0.55-0.98
    Over 1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm]:
        Heat analysis 0.85-1.20
        Product analysis 0.79-1.30
Phosphorus,maxA 0.025
Sulfur, maxA 0.025
Silicon:
        Heat analysis 0.15-0.40
        Product analysis 0.13-0.45

A Applies to both heat and product analyses.

B For each reduction of 0.01 percentage point below the specified maximum for carbon, an increase of 0.06 percentage point above the specified maximum for manganese is permitted, up to a maximum of 1.50 % by heat analysis and 1.60 % by product analysis.

Grade 60 plates 1⁄2 in. [12.5 mm] and under in thickness may have 0.85–1.20 % manganese on heat analysis, and 0.79–1.30 % manganese on product analysis.

 

Tensile Requirements

Grade60[415]
Tensile strength, ksi [MPa] 60–80 [415–550]
Yield strength, min,A ksi [MPa] 32 [220]
Elongation in 8 in. [200 mm], min, %B 21
Elongation in 2 in. [50 mm], min, %B 25

A Determined by either the 0.2 % offset method or the 0.5 % extension-under-load method.

B See Specification A20/A20M for elongation adjustment.
