What is SA 516 Grade 485 Steel? (High-Strength Boiler Quality)

SA 516 Gr 485 is a high-strength carbon steel plate grade under ASTM/ASME A516 standards, developed for boilers, heat exchangers, and high-pressure vessels.

  • It offers higher tensile and yield strength compared to Gr 60 or Gr 70.
  • It ensures greater safety margins in high-stress environments.

It is especially recommended for critical refinery, petrochemical, and power plant equipment where strength, toughness, and reliability cannot be compromised.

Industrial Applications of SA 516 Gr 485 Plates

Oil Refineries & Petrochemicals

for pressure vessels and reactors

Power Generation

high-pressure steam lines and boilers

Gas Processing & LNG Plants

sour gas storage and separators

Fertilizer & Chemical Industry

ammonia, urea, and process columns

Marine Engineering

boilers and storage tanks in offshore platforms

Heavy Fabrication

custom cut-to-size coils and plates for EPC projects

Mechanical Properties of SA 516 Gr 485 Plates (Strength, Yield, Impact)

Property Typical Value Notes
Tensile Strength 620–760 MPa Higher strength than Gr 70
Yield Strength ≥ 485 MPa Enhanced structural stability
Elongation 17–20% Maintains ductility for fabrication
Impact Tested -20°C (CVN) Available on request for sub-zero projects

These properties make SA 516 Gr 485 a premium choice for demanding, high-pressure environments.

Chemical Composition of SA 516 Gr 485 Steel

Element Max % (Typical)
Carbon (C) 0.27–0.30
Manganese (Mn) 0.80–1.50
Phosphorus (P) 0.025–0.030
Sulfur (S) 0.010–0.015
Silicon (Si) 0.13–0.45

Clean chemistry with controlled low sulfur and phosphorus ensures resistance to cracking and improved weldability.
