ASTM-A387-A387M.pdf

As a pressure vessel grade steel for use in elevated temperature service, is used in a variety of industries and is highly effective, particularly in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry, where liquids and gases are often stored at higher temperatures.
 

ASTM SA387 Grade 11 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel plate used for high-temperature welded pressure vessels and boilers. It has a minimum yield strength of 35𝑘𝑠𝑖 and a tensile strength between 60−85𝑘𝑠𝑖. This material is designed for elevated service temperatures and offers excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance.

FAQ

Q: What is A387 Grade 11 material?

A: The ASTM A387 specification is the Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Chromium-Molybdenum intended primarily for use in welded boilers and pressure vessels designed for elevated temperature service.

Q: What is SA 387 GR 11 Cl 1 equivalent material?

A: Sa 387 Gr 11 Equivalent Material
With similar chromium, molybdenum, and chemical content the, Sa 387 Gr 11 Cl 1 Equivalent Material of the BS 621B exhibits identical properties.

Q: What temperature is SA 387 GR 11?

A: In the lower end of the temperature range SA 387 Gr 11 (1150 °F min tempering temperature) , and SA 387 Gr 22 (1250 °F min tempering temperature) are used. These grades can be specified in either class 1 or 2 and can also be provided in the Normalized & Tempered or Quenched and Tempered.

Q: What is the difference between SA 387 GR 11 cl1 and cl2?

A: The difference between SA 387 Grade 11 Class 1 and Class 2 Plate lies in their mechanical properties. However, they both have the same chemical composition. The tensile strength and yield strength of class 2 material is higher than that of class 1, whereas the elongation for class 1 is higher compared to class 2.

Q: What is SA 387 Grade 11 material?

A: Composition: ASME SA387 Grade 11 typically contains about 1% chromium and 0.5% molybdenum. This composition provides good strength and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. Mechanical Properties: Yield Strength: Minimum of 205 MPa (30,000 psi)

Q: What is the difference between SA 387 Grade 11 CL 1 and Class 2?

A: The Chemical Composition remains the same in both Class 1 and Class 2 (Cl1 and Cl2) but the only Difference is in the Mechanical Properties which is mentioned in below Table.

Q: What is SA 387 Grade 11 Class 2 equivalent to?

A: Sa 387 Gr 11 Equivalent Material is the ASME SA387 in the US markets with the European Union having modules in 13CrMoSi5-5 grade. The Sa 387 Gr 11 Cl 2 Equivalent Material is the SA387-11-2 of the ASME and ASTM standard.

Q: What temperature is SA 387 GR 11?

A: In the lower end of the temperature range SA 387 Gr 11 (1150 °F min tempering temperature) , and SA 387 Gr 22 (1250 °F min tempering temperature) are used. These grades can be specified in either class 1 or 2 and can also be provided in the Normalized & Tempered or Quenched and Tempered.

Q: What is the chemical composition of ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 2?

A: ASTM A387 GR 11 CL 2 Plates is designed with the composition of chemicals such as carbon, silicon, phosphorous, chromium, sulfur, molybdenum, and manganese. Alloy ASTM A387 is made with specifications such as different standards, finishing, hardness, form, width, and thickness.

Q: What is the difference between SA 516 GR 70 and SA 387 GR 11?

A: Compared to carbon steel plates, SA 387 Gr 11 plates offer superior corrosion and oxidation resistance while maintaining good tensile and yield strength. Compared to SA 516 Gr 70 plates, SA 387 Gr 11 plates have better resistance to oxidation and corrosion, making them a better choice for high-temperature environments.
