ASTM A516 pressure vessel plates SA 516 steel plates (hydrogen induced cracking HIC)

ASTM A516 pressure vessel plates, especially SA 516 steel plates with hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) testing, are designed to withstand strict requirements under high pressure and high temperature conditions to avoid hydrogen induced cracking issues.

1. Hydrogen induced cracking resistance: SA 516 steel plate has undergone hydrogen induced cracking testing to ensure its good crack resistance in hydrogen containing environments, making it suitable for industrial fields such as petroleum and natural gas.

2. Chemical composition: A516 steel plate typically includes elements such as carbon (C) not exceeding 0.27%, sulfur (S) not exceeding 0.010%, and manganese (Mn) ranging from 0.60% to 1.20% to ensure that the material meets strength and toughness requirements.

3. Mechanical performance: It has good strength, ductility, and impact toughness, suitable for stable operation in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

4. Application scope: SA 516 steel plate is widely used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and other critical equipment in the petroleum and natural gas industry, ensuring safe and reliable operation of the system under harsh conditions.

By using ASTM A516 pressure vessel plate SA 516 steel plate that meets the requirements of hydrogen induced cracking testing, the safety hazards caused by hydrogen induced cracking can be effectively reduced, the reliability and durability of equipment can be improved, and the demand for high standard quality and performance in the industrial field can be met.
