ASTM A285/A285M-17 PDF
What is ASTM A285 grade C?
ASTM A285 is a specification for low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates of pressure vessel quality for welded pressure vessel applications. The specification covers three grades, A, B, and C, which have different strength levels. ASTM A285 Grade C has a tensile strength range of 55-75 ksi.
What is the difference between A285 Grade C and A36?
A285 Grade C has low to medium tensile strength between 380 to 515 MPa, whereas the tensile strength of A36 material ranges between 400 to 500 Mpa.
What is the yield strength of ASTM a285?
Yield Strength: Typically ranges from 138 MPa (20,000 psi) for Grade A to around 245 MPa (35,000 psi) for Grade C. Tensile Strength: Approximately 310 MPa (45,000 psi) to 450 MPa (65,000 psi), depending on the specific grade.
What is the equivalent of A285 GR C?
Equivalent Steel Grades of A285 Gr.C Plates: Equivalent of Astm A285 Grade C,ASTM is a high-pressure steel grade whose equivalent European grade is the P235GH, with British standard having the 161 Gr. 360/164 Gr. 360 grade.
| British Standard | European Norm | Japan |
|---|---|---|
| 161 Gr.360/164 Gr.360 | P235GH | SPV 24 |
What is the difference between ASTM A285 and A516?
ASTM A516 offers higher strength and is suitable for moderate-to-high pressure applications, while ASTM A285 is cost-effective and ideal for low-pressure environments. ASTM A516 and ASTM A537 are specifically designed for high-temperature and pressure vessel applications.
What is the difference between A283 and A285?
A283 is a low carbon structural steel. Only SA283 steel plate would be viable for similar pressure vessel applications to A285.
ASTM A285 specification is the Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, Low- and Intermediate-Tensile Strength intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels. Three grades having different strength levels are available in thicknesses up to 2", inclusively.
