General Description of ASTM A516 Grade 55(A516GR55) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Steel Plate

ASTM A516 Grade 55 (A516Gr55) is a carbon steel plate specifically designed for boiler and pressure vessel applications, offering good notch toughness and weldability. It is commonly used in moderate and lower-temperature service environments.

Mechanical Properties of ASTM A516 Grade 55(A516GR55) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Steel Plate

Grade	Mechanical Property
Grade	Tensile Strength(MPa)	Yield Strength(MPa)	Elongation (%)	Impact Test (Charpy V-Notch)
A516 Grade 55 (A516GR55)	380-515	≥205	≥23	≥ 20 J (15 ft-lb) at -50°F (-45°C) (for normalized plates)

Other Information

Comparable Standards:

ASME SA516 Grade 55 (identical to ASTM A516 but for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code use)

EN 10028-2 P265GH (European equivalent)

Comparison with Other Grades:

The key grades of ASTM A516 (55/60/65/70) are primarily distinguished by their tensile strength:

Grade	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Yield Strength (MPa)	Key Use Case
A516 Grade 55	380-515	205	Low-pressure applications
A516 Grade 60	415-550	220	Intermediate pressure
A516 Grade 65	450-585	240	Higher pressure
A516 Grade 70	485-620	260	High-pressure & low-temp

Heat Treatment:

Typically supplied in normalized condition for improved toughness.

May also be supplied as hot-rolled or stress-relieved depending on application requirements.

Advantages:

1. Good weldability and formability

2. Suitable for low-temperature service (down to -29°C / -20°F)

3. Cost-effective for moderate-pressure applications
