What are SA516 Gr 70 NACE Plates?

SA516 Gr 70 NACE Plates are carbon steel plates designed for boiler and pressure vessel use, with added compliance to NACE MR0175 / MR0103 standards.

This makes them suitable for:

  1. Refinery equipment exposed to hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)
  2. Petrochemical plants operating under sour gas conditions
  3. Offshore platforms & oil storage tanks facing corrosion risks

In short, NACE-certified plates are mandatory for sour service environments where ordinary SA516 Gr 70 plates would fail.

Why Refineries, Petrochemicals & EPCs Demand NACE Certified Plates

Procurement managers face constant worries:

  • “Will this plate crack under sour gas exposure?”
  • “Will auditors reject my supply during inspection?”
  • “Do I need to order Gr 70 + NACE separately?”

Navgraha’s NACE plates solve it all:

  • Pre-approved compliance → ready for refinery audits
  • NACE MR0175/MR0103 certification → prevents H₂S stress cracking
  • Single source, dual compliance → no confusion between Gr 70 and NACE

That’s why global EPC contractors trust Navgraha Steels INC’s SA516 Gr 70 NACE plates.

Mechanical Properties of SA516 Gr 70 NACE Plates

Property Typical Value Why It Matters
Tensile Strength 485–620 MPa Withstands refinery & boiler pressures
Yield Strength Min 260 MPa Ensures load-bearing reliability
Elongation 17–21% Provides safety during bending & forming
Impact Resistance Up to -20°C Prevents brittle failure in low temps
Hardness (BHN) ≤ 250 Maintains weldability & machinability

These properties make them ideal for sour service, high-pressure vessels, and refinery boilers.

Chemical Composition – NACE-Approved Chemistry for Sour Service

Element % Range Why Controlled?
Carbon (C) ≤ 0.21 Prevents brittleness, improves weldability
Manganese (Mn) 0.55–1.20 Adds strength while keeping toughness
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.020 Extra low → avoids cracking under H₂S
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.010 Extra low → resists sulfide stress corrosion
Silicon (Si) 0.13–0.45 Provides stability during fabrication

NACE-compliant chemistry = lower P & S, which ensures resistance to sulfide stress cracking (SSC) in sour service.

International Standards & Equivalent Grades of SA516 Gr 70 NACE Plates

Our SA516 Gr 70 NACE Certified Plates are manufactured and tested as per global codes, ensuring smooth approval across multiple regions:

  1. ASTM A516 / ASME SA516 Gr 70 (USA)
  2. EN 10028 P355GH / P295GH (Europe)
  3. IS 2002 Class 2 (India)
  4. BS 1501-224-490B (UK)

With NACE certification, these plates are universally accepted in refinery, petrochemical, and offshore projects worldwide

Thickness Range, Dimensions & Stock Sizes

At Navgraha Steels INC, Mumbai, we maintain ready stock of SA516 Gr 70 NACE Plates in:

  1. Thickness: 6 mm to 100 mm
  2. Widths: 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm
  3. Lengths: 6,000 mm to 12,000 mm (custom cut-to-size available)
  4. Stock Condition: Normalized & NACE tested

Buyer Tip: For refinery shutdown projects, request cut-to-size NACE plates to save fabrication time.

Heat Treatment Options – Normalized, Quenched & Tempered

Different service environments demand different heat treatments:

  • Normalized (N): Industry standard for boilers, refineries, and sour service
  • Quenched & Tempered (Q+T): For offshore platforms, petrochemicals, and higher pressure applications
  • As Rolled (AR): Limited supply, used only for low-stress projects

Most EPC and refinery auditors demand Normalized NACE plates for sour service applications.

Fabrication & Welding Performance – Plates That Reduce Project Risk

A common worry for buyers: “Will the plate crack during welding or rolling?”

With Navgraha’s NACE-certified supply, you get:

  • Excellent weldability with SMAW, SAW, GTAW, and GMAW processes
  • Smooth bendability & machinability for pressure vessel fabrication
  • Guaranteed toughness even at low service temperatures

That means fewer fabrication failures, lower repair costs, and on-time project completion.
