Product Scope:

ASTM A387 specification covers chromium-molybdenum alloy steel plates for welded boilers and pressure vessels manufactured for elevated temperature service. Available steel plate grades are 2, 12, 11, 22, 22L, 21, 21L, 5, 9 and 91. Steel product shall be killed and heat treated. The petrochemical, hydrocarbon processing and coal conversion industries have been utilizing this steel for decades, it varies according to the chromium and molybdenum. Most commonly used are Grade 12, 11, 22, and 5. Further more, these grades are available in 2 strength levels-class1 and class2.

ASTM A387 steel plate are typically applied in the temperature range from 316℃ to 593℃. The elevated temperature properties of these alloy steel plates are still of particular usage, now, ASTM A387 steel plate are manufactured to be fine grain, low silicon, low sulfur, calcium treated and occasionally produced Q&T to give the highest levels of toughness.
