ASTM Standards for Pressure Vessel Steel Plates

1. What are pressure vessel steel plates?

Pressure vessel steel plates are steels designed for the manufacture of vessels that withstand internal or external pressure. These steel plates are usually high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and well weldable, and can be safely used under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

2. Types and heat treatment of pressure vessel steel plates

Heat treatment: hot rolling, normalizing, controlled rolling, annealing, tempering, and normalizing, quenching, and tempering. 

3. What are the ASTM standards for pressure vessel steel plates?

When selecting pressure vessel steel plates, following ASTM standards is the key to ensuring material quality and safety. Understanding the scope of application and performance requirements of different standards will help engineers and manufacturers select the right materials to meet the needs of specific applications.
