What is ASTM A537 Class 3?

ASTM A537 Class 3 is a heat-treated carbon-manganese-silicon steel plate specification used in pressure vessels and structural applications. It is specifically quenched and tempered, with a minimum tempering temperature of 1150°F (620°C). Class 3 plates are often used in oil and gas projects, particularly in the construction of pressure vessels, boilers, storage tanks, and heat exchangers.
