Nandini Steel, based in Mumbai, India, is a trusted stockist and supplier of 316 Stainless Steel Plates. With over 25 years of experience, we provide ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 Type 316 Stainless Steel Plates in a wide range of thicknesses, widths, and surface finishes. SS 316 is an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy classified under UNS S31600. The grade contains 16.0 to 18.0% chromium, 10.0 to 14.0% nickel, and 2.00 to 3.00% molybdenum, giving it strong resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments.
ASTM A240 Type 316 plate has a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa (75 ksi) and a minimum yield strength of 205 MPa (30 ksi) with elongation at 35% in 2 inches. Stainless steel 316 plate is available from our stock in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 100 mm, widths up to 2,500 mm, and lengths up to 6,000 mm. We supply hot-rolled, cold-rolled, brushed, and mirror-finish plates. Industrial applications include chemical processing, marine engineering, food and pharmaceutical equipment, oil and gas, and architectural facades. We are ISO 9001 certified and ship all material with mill test certificates. Custom-cut sizes are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of 316 Stainless Steel Plate per kg?
What thicknesses are available for 316 SS Plate?
We provide 316 stainless steel plates in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 100 mm, with 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 25 mm as the most frequently ordered sizes.
What is the difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel plate?
316L is a low-carbon form of 316. It has up to 0.030% carbon, versus 0.08% in standard 316. This lower carbon reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding. Most suppliers stock dual-certified 316/316L plate.
What are the standard sizes of 316 Stainless Steel Plate?
Standard 316 plate sizes come in 1,000 × 2,000 mm, 1,220 × 2,440 mm (4′ × 8′), 1,500 × 3,000 mm, 1,500 × 6,000 mm, and 2,000 × 6,000 mm. Custom-cut sizes are available on request.
How to calculate the weight of 316 Stainless Steel Plate?
Weight (kg) = Thickness × Width × Length × 0.000008. The density of 316 stainless steel is 8.0 g/cm3. A 10 mm x 1,500 mm x 3,000 mm plate weighs roughly 360 kg.
What is the HS code for 316 Stainless Steel Plate?
The HS code for 316 stainless steel plate is 7219 for flat-rolled products with a width of 600 mm or more, and 7220 for widths below 600 mm. The exact subheading varies by thickness and finish.
Is 316 Stainless Steel Plate suitable for marine applications?
Yes. 316 plate is commonly known as marine-grade stainless steel. The 2.00 to 3.00% molybdenum content provides strong resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in saltwater and chloride-rich conditions.
What finishes are available for 316 Stainless Steel Plate?
We stock 316 plate in hot-rolled annealed and pickled (HRAP), 2B mill finish, #4 brushed polish, BA (bright annealed), and mirror finish. Pick the finish by application: HRAP for structural use, #4 or mirror for architectural use.
