Nandini Steel is a trusted supplier and stockist of ASME SA-516 Gr. 60/70 furnace-normalised plates in India. We have been in the industry for more than 20 years and ISO 9001 certified. We maintain a huge stock of SA-516 Grade 60 and Grade 70 plates in different thicknesses, widths and lengths.
These carbon steel plates are used in pressure vessels for moderate and low temperatures. In furnace normalisation, the plate is heated above its critical temperature and then cooled in controlled air. This treatment improves the grain structure, increases the toughness and ensures uniform mechanical properties through the entire thickness of the plate. ASME SA-516 requires furnace normalisation on plates of over 40 mm (1.57 inches) thickness. Grade 60 and Grade 70 are mainly distinguished by their tensile strength, yield strength and carbon content. This enables engineers to select the grade that best fits the required design pressure.
Nandini Steel supplies these plates with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates for full traceability. We serve the oil and gas, power, petrochemical, and water treatment industries.
