Boiler Quality (BQ) Plates
High-Pressure Vessel Steel Plates. 100% Ultrasonically Tested & IBR Certified.
Mechanical Properties
Critical data for Pressure Vessel and Boiler fabrication.
| Standard / Grade | Min. Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Characteristics & Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM A516 Gr. 60 | 220 | 415 - 550 | High ductility, excellent notch toughness. Low to moderate temp. |
| ASTM A516 Gr. 70 | 260 | 485 - 620 | Higher strength. Most widely used for boilers & pressure vessels. |
| IS 2002 Grade 2 | 240 | 410 - 530 | Indian standard equivalent for domestic pressure vessel fabrication. |
| SA 387 Grade 11 Class 2 | 310 | 515 - 690 | Chrome-Moly Alloy (1.25% Cr, 0.5% Mo). High-temp service. |
| SA 387 Grade 22 Class 2 | 310 | 515 - 690 | Chrome-Moly Alloy (2.25% Cr, 1.0% Mo). Extreme temp/pressure. |
Testing & Compliance
IBR Certification
All BQ plates can be supplied with Form IV certification approved by the Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR).
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Plates are 100% UT tested to ensure absence of internal laminations, voids, or inclusions (ASTM A435 / A578).
Impact / Charpy Test
Low-temperature impact testing (Charpy V-Notch) available to guarantee notch toughness in sub-zero environments.
Size Capabilities:
Thickness: 5mm to 150mm | Width: 1500mm to 3000mm | Length: Up to 12000mm
