Pressure Vessel Steel Plate

What is Pressure Vessel Steel Plate or Boiler Steel Plate?

Pressure vessel steel plate is a range of material grades designed specifically for use in pressure vessels containing gases or liquids at high pressure. At Brown McFarlane, we make a distinction between boiler plates and pressure vessel plates, while some companies class everything as pressure vessel plate – there is no right or wrong answer. Applications include boilers, heat exchangers, petrochemical tanks, gas cylinders and other working environments where safe operating pressure is critical.

Any number of substances require storage under pressure, from milk or palm oil, to natural gas or toxic chemicals, each with additional storage considerations like temperature and the corrosive properties of the substance itself. All these elements need to be taken into account when selecting the grade of pressure vessel steel.

Pressure vessel plate is commonly grouped into two categories:

• Carbon steel pressure vessel grades
• Low alloy pressure vessel grades

The most important thing to note as a customer of Brown McFarlane is that we stock, process and distribute all of the popular grades of boiler and pressure vessel specifications, such as ASTM A516, ASME SA516, EN 10028-3, and BS 1501.
