Designation: A 516/A 516M – 06
Used in USDOE-NE Standards
Standard Specification for
Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and
Lower-Temperature Service
1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 516/A 516M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification
2
covers carbon steel plates intended
primarily for service in welded pressure vessels where im-
proved notch toughness is important.
1.2 Plates under this specification are available in four
grades having different strength levels as follows:
Grade U.S. [SI]
Tensile Strength,
ksi [MPa]
55 [380] 55–75 [380–515]
60 [415] 60–80 [415–550]
65 [450] 65–85 [450–585]
70 [485] 70–90 [485–620]
1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the
capacity of the composition to meet the specified mechanical
property requirements; however, current practice normally
limits the maximum thickness of plates furnished under this
specification as follows:
Grade U.S. [SI]
Maximum Thickness,
in. [mm]
55 [380] 12 [305]
60 [415] 8 [205]
65 [450] 8 [205]
70 [485] 8 [205]
1.4 For plates produced from coil and furnished without
heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional
requirements, including additional testing requirements and the
reporting of additional test results of Specification A 20/A 20M
apply.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-
cation.

3. General Requirements and Ordering Information
3.1 Plates supplied to this product specification shall con-
form to Specification A 20/A 20M, which outlines the testing
and retesting methods and procedures, permissible variations
in dimensions and mass, quality and repair of defects, marking,
loading, and so forth.
3.2 Specification A 20/A20M also establishes the rules for
ordering information that should be complied with when
purchasing plates to this specification.
3.3 In addition to the basic requirements of this specifica-
tion, certain supplementary requirements are available where
additional control, testing, or examination is required to meet
end use requirements.
3.4 The purchaser is referred to the listed supplementary
requirements in this specification and to the detailed require-
ments in Specification A 20/A20M.
3.5 Coils are excluded from qualification to this specifica-
tion until they are processed into finished plates. Plates
produced from coil means plates that have been cut to
individual lengths from coil. The processor directly controls, or
is responsible for, the operations involved in the processing of
coils into finished plates. Such operations include decoiling,
leveling, cutting to length, testing, inspection, conditioning,
heat treatment (if applicable), packaging, marking, loading for
shipment, and certification.
