GNEE A285 Grade Steel Plates Secure Additional Order From UAE Customer

"The 50 tons of steel plates from the small-batch trial order have performed excellently-now we're adding an additional 300 tons of A285 Grade C!" Recently, a petrochemical enterprise from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sent an additional order to GNEE STEEL, marking its second purchase following the first cooperation three months ago.

Looking back at the initial cooperation, the customer needed to purchase low-carbon pressure vessel steel plates for a new crude oil storage tank project and contacted GNEE through an international platform. Considering the customer's concerns about product stability, GNEE's sales team proactively provided detailed technical data for the A285 Grade C steel plates (complying with the ASTM A285 standard, with a yield strength of ≥170MPa, a tensile strength of 380-515MPa, delivered in as-rolled or normalized condition, and suitable for low-temperature pressure vessels) and arranged for the laboratory to send samples for mechanical property testing.

The customer's laboratory responded: "The impact energy of the samples (≥27J at -20℃) and welding performance fully meet the requirements for storage tank manufacturing, and GNEE's technical team answered questions about welding processes throughout the process with extraordinary responsibility." Subsequently, the 50-ton trial order (specifications: 8-16mm × 1800-2500mm × 8000mm) was delivered after passing SGS testing. The customer highly recognized the dimensional accuracy (deviation ≤ ±0.5mm) and surface quality of the steel plates.

The 300-ton additional order will be used for manufacturing the main structure of the storage tanks. Currently, production has been completed and the products have been shipped to the Port of Dubai. Relying on "professional services + stable quality", GNEE has successfully opened up the petrochemical material market in the Middle East.

What is A285 Grade C equivalent material?

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.

What is SA 285 C material?

SA 285 Gr C Pressure Vessel Plates is a carbon steel plate with a low to intermediate strength, it possesses good weldability & formability. A285 Grade C Plates has excellent resistance to corrosion, & it is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its good toughness & ductility.

What is the temperature of ASTM A285 Grade C?

Grade A285 C ASTM steel plate is not specifically designed for low-temperature applications. It is a carbon steel plate primarily used for moderate to low-pressure vessel applications. The typical operating temperature range for A285 C steel plate is ambient to about 200℃ (390°F).

What is A285?

The 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.

What is the difference between A285 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. This is due to the variation in their chemical composition.
