Product Description of Pressure Vessel Plates
Pressure vessel plates are special medium and heavy steel plates used for manufacturing pressure vessels, boiler drums, storage tanks, reactors and other pressure-bearing equipment. Featuring high strength and toughness, excellent low-temperature brittleness resistance, superior weldability and good corrosion resistance, they can withstand high temperature, high pressure, alternating loads and medium erosion for a long time. They are essential safety materials widely applied in energy, chemical, nuclear power and other industries.
1. Applicable Standards
Domestic Standards
GB/T 713-2014: Steel plates for boilers and pressure vessels (mainstream general standard)
GB/T 3531-2019: Low alloy steel plates for low-temperature pressure vessels
GB/T 713 Series (2023 Version): Covers general requirements, non-alloy steel, alloy steel, low-temperature steel, quenched and tempered high-strength steel, etc., suitable for high-end pressure-bearing equipment
International Standards
American Standard: ASME SA516 / ASTM A516 (e.g. SA516Gr70)
European Standard: EN 10028 (e.g. P265GH, P355GH)
2. Main Grades and Characteristics
2.1 Carbon Steel Pressure Vessel Plates
Q245R: Carbon-manganese steel with yield strength ≥245MPa. Applicable temperature ranges from -20℃ to 475℃. Ideal for low-pressure vessels and boiler drums, with good weldability and cost-effectiveness.
2.2 Low Alloy High-Strength Pressure Vessel Plates
Q345R: Upgraded version of 16MnR and the most popular grade. Yield strength ≥345MPa, tensile strength 490~620MPa, impact energy ≥34J at -20℃. Widely used for medium and high-pressure vessels, heat exchangers and petroleum storage tanks with comprehensive outstanding performance.
Q370R / Q420R: Higher strength grades, applied to high-pressure and thick-wall pressure-bearing equipment.
2.3 Low-Temperature Pressure Vessel Plates
16MnDR / 09MnNiDR: Excellent low-temperature toughness at -40℃ ~ -70℃, suitable for liquid nitrogen, liquid ammonia storage tanks and low-temperature reactors.
SA516Gr70 (SA516Gr485): American standard high-strength low-temperature steel. Impact energy ≥20J at -46℃, good resistance to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), applicable for working conditions with hydrogen sulfide.
2.4 Heat-Resistant & Corrosion-Resistant Pressure Vessel Plates
15CrMoR / 14Cr1MoR: Chromium-molybdenum steel, heat-resistant up to 550℃ and anti-creeping. Used for hydrogenation reactors and high-temperature boiler components.
Q345R (HIC): Hydrogen induced cracking resistant steel, designed for acidic oil and gas environments to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
3. Chemical Composition (wt%, Core Control)
| Grade | C | Mn | Si | P | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q245R | ≤0.20 | 0.50~1.00 | 0.15~0.40 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.015 |
| Q345R | ≤0.20 | 1.20~1.60 | 0.15~0.40 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.015 |
| SA516Gr70 | ≤0.27 | 0.85~1.20 | 0.15~0.40 | ≤0.025 | ≤0.025 |
Key Requirements: The content of P and S shall not exceed 0.025% to avoid brittle fracture and corrosion. The steel is aluminum-killed for grain refinement with low carbon equivalent, effectively reducing the risk of welding cold cracks.
4. Mechanical Properties (Normalized Condition, Typical Values)
| Grade | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Impact Energy (-20℃, J) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q245R | ≥245 | 400~520 | ≥25 | ≥34 |
| Q345R | ≥345 | 490~620 | ≥21 | ≥34 |
| SA516Gr70 | ≥485 | 585~725 | ≥19 | ≥20 (-46℃) |
Core Indicators: Low-temperature impact energy ≥34J to prevent low-temperature brittle fracture, with stable yield strength for long-term pressure bearing service.
5. Dimension Specifications

6. Production Process & Quality Control
Smelting: Electric furnace smelting plus LF/VD refining to ensure high steel purity and low impurity content.
Rolling: Temperature-controlled rolling for grain refinement and uniform performance.
Heat Treatment: Normalizing and tempering to eliminate internal stress and optimize strength and toughness.
Non-Destructive Testing: Grade I / II Ultrasonic Testing (UT) implemented on every plate to exclude internal cracks, inclusions and laminations.
Surface Quality: Free from cracks, folds, scabs and excessive scale with burr-free edges.
7. Application Scope
Petrochemical Industry: Reactors, heat exchangers, crude oil storage tanks, hydrogenation reactors
Power & Energy Industry: Boiler drums, high-pressure heaters, nuclear power pressure components
Gas Industry: Oxygen / Nitrogen / Hydrogen storage tanks, low-temperature insulated vessels
Others: Pharmaceutical fermentation tanks, food-grade pressure vessels, environmental protection desulfurization equipment
8. Product Advantages
High Safety: Excellent strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and anti-brittle performance, suitable for high-pressure, low-temperature and corrosive harsh working conditions.
Excellent Weldability: Low carbon equivalent. No preheating or slight preheating required during welding. The strength of welded joint reaches over 95% of base metal.
Good Workability: Easy for cutting, bending, stamping and rolling to meet the manufacturing requirements of various shaped vessels.
