ASTM A516 steel
ASTM A516 steel, also known as PVQ516 steel, is carbon steel with specifications for pressure vessel plates and moderate or lower temperature service. ASTM A516 steel is intended primarily for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important. Plates 1.50” and under in thickness are normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. ASTM A516 steel may be ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both. Plates over 1.50” in thickness shall be normalized.
