Nandini Steel is a trusted supplier and stockist of SA 516 Gr. 60/70 plate, based in Mumbai, India. With over 25 years of experience, we supply ASME SA-516/ASTM A516 Grade 60 and 70 carbon steel plates used to make pressure vessels that operate at moderate and low temperatures. These carbon-manganese steel plates have controlled carbon, manganese, and silicon with restricted phosphorus and sulphur for weldability.
ASME SA 516 Grade 70 plate has a minimum tensile strength of 485 MPa (70 ksi). Minimum yield strength is 260 MPa (38 ksi). A516-60 plate offers a lower minimum tensile of 415 MPa (60 ksi), making it the preferred option where design pressures permit thinner plate sections. Both grades are available in thicknesses from 6 mm to 200 mm, widths up to 3,500 mm, and lengths up to 12,000 mm in as-rolled and normalised conditions. Dual certification (Gr 60 / Gr 70) is available where chemistry and mechanical properties of a single heat satisfy both grades.
All plates comply with ASTM A516 / ASME SA-516 and carry EN 10204 3.1 mill test certification. Common applications are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, and storage tanks across oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing industries. We are ISO 9001 certified and deliver across India and to over 50 countries as a leading SA 516 Gr. 60/70 plate dealer and exporter.
