Boiler Quality Plates — ASTM A516 & IS 2002
Boiler quality plate is carbon steel plate made for pressure vessels and boilers. Teshi Group stocks and supplies ASTM A516 / ASME SA-516 Gr 60, 65 and 70 and IS 2002 plate, with IBR documentation when specified. Quotes are sent in 24–48 hours.
Also called: BQ plate, pressure vessel plate, A516 Gr 70 plate, SA516 plate, IS 2002 plate
What is a Boiler Quality Plate?
ASTM A516 covers carbon-silicon steel plate for welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important, in Grades 55, 60, 65 and 70 (the number is the minimum tensile strength in ksi). IS 2002 is the Indian standard for steel plate for pressure vessels for intermediate and high-temperature service, including boilers. These plates are used for shells, heads, nozzles and reinforcing pads of boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and storage spheres. Normalising and Charpy impact testing can be ordered as supplementary requirements.

Boiler Quality Plate: common questions
What is the difference between A516 Gr 60 and Gr 70?
Gr 70 has higher strength: 485–620 MPa tensile and 260 MPa minimum yield, against 415–550 MPa and 220 MPa for Gr 60. Gr 60 has slightly better toughness and formability.
Is SA-516 the same as A516?
ASME SA-516 is adopted from ASTM A516 for use under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Plate is commonly dual-certified to both. The requirements are essentially the same.
Can you supply IBR-certified plate?
Yes, when the order specifies IBR, plate is supplied with IBR documentation for boiler service. State IBR at the enquiry stage. The plate is then allocated from suitable mill stock.
Does Teshi manufacture boiler quality plate?
No. Teshi Group is a stockist and supplier of Boiler Quality Plate, sourced from established mills and supplied with the original mill test certificate. Teshi is an OEM manufacturer of flanges, fittings, fasteners, valves and custom fabrications, which can be ordered with it.
