Yousef Steel, a top-tier steel manufacturer and supplier located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, proudly offers high-quality **Boiler Quality (BQ) sheets and plates**. These products are specifically designed for use in pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, and industrial steam-generating equipment. Built to endure high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, they are perfect for applications in power plants, oil and gas facilities, refineries, and the chemical processing sector. Yousef Steel guarantees that all products meet international standards such as ASTM, ASME, DIN, and EN, ensuring both performance and safety.
Boiler Quality plates are crafted from carbon steel and low-alloy materials, boasting enhanced mechanical properties like high tensile strength, impressive notch toughness, and excellent weldability. Common grades include ASTM A516 Gr 60/65/70, IS 2002, and corresponding EN 10028 standards. These plates typically provide tensile strength ranging from 415 to 585 MPa and are normalized to achieve a consistent grain structure and resistance to thermal stress. Their superior steel composition ensures durability and reliable performance under cyclic loading and pressure variations.
Standard:Â ASTM A516 / ASME SA 516 Gr 60 / 65/ 70
Width:Â 1000mm-4500mm
Thickness:Â 5mm-150mm
Length:Â 3000mm-18000mm
Supply Condition :Â As Rolled, Normalized Rolling, Furnace Normalizing, Vacuum Degassing, Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment or as per customer requirement.
Impact tested : -52° C
Tempering:Â Notch toughness can be improved by quenched cooling from hot rolling or normalizing by the supplier. If such a faster cooling rate is agreed upon between purchaser and supplier then the steel is also to be tempered at 1200 F.
Applications :Â Used for weld fabrication of pressure vessels that require improved notch toughness for lower than ambient temperature service.
Process of Manufacturing :Â Hot-Rolled (HR)
