Dear Student,

We do not do homework here. Perhaps your instructor would tell you. Or, perhaps he wants you to do some research in conventional places like libraries and books.

There's a good lad.

SA 516 Grade 70 is not a pipe material, it is a pressure vessel plate material.

SA 516 Gr 70 IS A TYPE OF PLATES USED IN PRESSURE PARTS, SPECIALLY FOR PRESSURE VESELS, IT CAN BE ROLLED AND WELDED BY EDGES TO MAKE A PIPE FROM PLATE NOZZLES, SPECIALLY IF THE NOZZLE IS OF HIGH SIZE.

SO, ACC TO ASME CODE, 516 IS ONLY A NUMBER OF SPECIFICATION , NOT RELATING TO ANY PROPERTIES IF STEEL,

IF YOU NEED MORE INFO ABOUT IT, EMAIL ME: met_3mr84@yahoo.com

salam allikum

IF you have any other reply. please shoe us with your proofs

at all here is THE ASME CODE REPLY:

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers carbon steel plates
intended primarily for service in welded pressure vessels
where improved notch toughness is important.
1.2 Plates under this specification are available in four
grades having different strength levels as follows:
Tensile Strength,
Grade U.S. [SI] ksi [MPa]
55 [380] 55–75 [380–515]
60 [415] 60–80 [415–550]
65 [450] 65–85 [450–585]
70 [485] 70–90 [485–620]
1.3 The maximum thickness of plates is limited only
by the capacity of the composition to meet the specified
mechanical property requirements; however, current practice
normally limits the maximum thickness of plates furnished
under this specification as follows:
Maximum Thickness,
Grade U.S. [SI] in. [mm]
55 [380] 12 [305]
60 [415] 8 [205]
65 [450] 8 [205]
70 [485] 8 [205]
1.4 For plates produced from coil and furnished without
heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional
requirements, including additional testing requirements
and the reporting of additional test results of Specification

A 20/A 20M apply.

Allikum El-Salam

We are a designers and fabricators of petroleum and petrochemical equipment like as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns and towers, ... etc., and daily we use a lot of tonnage of SA 516 Grade 70. Therefore, if you need any further information about that material or any other material, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Note. When a welded pipe is produced (in a mill) from a plate by seam or spiral weld, the specification of that pipe product is differ from that specification of the original plate material.

• For example, when we use plate A 516 Grade 70 to produce a welded pipe, the specification of the pipe in this case is A 671 Grade CC70 or A 672 Grade C70.

• Another example, for a plate material A 515 Grade 70, the specification of welded pipe produced from that plate is A 671 Grade CB70 or A 672 Grade B70.

SALAM ALLIKUM DR GALAL.

ACC TO ASME II-A, THESE SPECIFICATIONS ARE USED FOR MAKING WELDED PIPED 16" AND OVER. AND OTHER DIMENSION BUT WITH MORE REQUIREMENTS.

HERE IN MY COMPANY, THEY CALLED THESE NOZZLES WITH ITS PLATE NAME(PIPE FROM PLATE IN THE DWG),I.E SA 516-GR70. BECAUSE WE ROLL AND WELD IT .

I HAVE CHECKED THE SPECIFICATION A 671 & A672, I FOUND THAT THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT THAN WE DO.

PLEASE INFORM ME IF THAT CASE ( ACC TO DESIGN) IS RIGHT??

If the material of your LPG storage vessel is SA-516, you can use low hydrogen filler metal E 7018 as a weld deposit.

As per ASME SEC II, All materials has been identified by its mechanical properties

and SA 516 is low temperature carbon steel material, Normally it is in plate form, and using to manufacturing of vessels
