What is grade 70 steel equivalent to?

ASTM A516 Grade 70 is a boiler / pressure vessel quality of steel plate for use in low to moderate services. It has improved notch toughness. A516 GD70 steel plate is equivalent to the P355GH and 490B grades.

 

What is A515 70 material?

A515 covers carbon steel plate for use in pressure vessels at ambient and higher temperature service. The alloy involved for the specification is basically similar to AISI 1330 steel. Used for high strength plate that is fabricated into pressure vessels for intermediate and higher temperature service such as boilers.
