Steel Plate

Commercial and specification grade steel plates are stocked to meet a variety of end use requirements that range from the most unsophisticated storage bin to such highly critical applications as Cryogenic Pressure Vessels.

ASTM A 709-GD 36 STEEL PLATE is a structural quality product designed for use in welded, bolted, or riveted fabrications such as oil rigs, buildings and bridges. Produced with a min. yield of 36,000 psi. A36 steel plate can be used in the construction of a variety of lightweight structures and equipment where good welding properties are important.

ASTM 514 Grade B (T-1 & TYPE A REG) STRUCTURAL QUALITY is a quenched and tempered high strength alloy steel designed for construction type applications and produced to minimum mechanical properties. T-1 steel plate provides good formability, high strength, toughness at subzero temperatures, and weldability with minimal preheat requirements. Stocked in 3/16 through 1-1/2” thick.

ABRASION RESISTANT GRADES Abrasion resisting is produced to a special carbon-manganese specification, developed specifically for applications requiring superior wear resistance, and will usually outlast ordinary steel grades by a wide margin.

AR360 is a medium strength and hardness; quenched and tempered steel plate, of modest price, and excellent wear properties.

AR400 is a high hardness, high strength quenched and tempered chrome-moly, boron treated alloy steel plate with good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and impact abrasion.

AR400F is ideal for applications where a good combination of Abrasion Resistance, Formability and Weldability is desired. 

PRESSURE VESSEL QUALITY steel plate is produced to tightly controlled ASTM standards in order to provide a superior grade of carbon steel plate designed specifically for pressure vessel and boiler applications but also suited to a variety of less demanding commercial applications. 

PVQ steel plate is subject to a specified series of tests to insure conformance to standards.

ASTM A285 (GRADE C) in fire box and flange quality designed for fusion welded boilers and pressure vessels where moderate strength and good forming is required.

ASTM A516 (GRADE 70) is similar to A515 but is intended for lower temperature applications. It is also silicon killed, but has a finer grain and improved notched toughness. Stocked in an as rolled condition and charpy tested.

ASTM A572 (GRADE 50) INX-EXTEN is available with a 50,000 psi min. strength level. It is moderately priced and offers high strength in combination with good formability and weldability. Atmospheric corrosion resistance is about equal to plain carbon steel. Conform to SAE J410 and Grade 950X.

Ultrasonic Testing and ABS certification available upon request. 

Accepted trade practice provides for invoicing of all steel plate product based on the theoretical weight of the ordered size, using a density of .2836 pound per cubic inch rounded to the nearest full pound per piece.
