SA387/A387 Pressure Vessel Plate Brief Introduction

SA387/A387 Pressure Vessel Plate is a series of standards for chromium-molybdenum alloy steel plates used in pressure vessels in the American Standard (ASTM/ASME). The standard covers multiple grades, such as Gr22, Gr11, and Gr91.
These steel plates are widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature, high-pressure equipment, which is commonly applied in petrochemicals, nuclear power, and electricity.

A387/SA387 vessel steel plate is suitable for a temperature range of 316℃-593℃. Its high-temperature properties are of particular interest even in the current trend of applications requiring high-temperature toughness. SA387/A387 steel is usually treated with fine grain, low silicon, low sulfur, calcium, and sometimes Q&T production to achieve the highest level of toughness. SA387/A387 boiler steel plate is available in a wide range of temperatures from 316°C to 593°C.
