Why do projects specify A516 Gr.70
Easy to weld – Low carbon equivalent (CE). Less risk of cracking. No complex preheating needed.
Works at low temperatures – Good impact toughness even at -30°C or lower. Suitable for cold climates and LPG tanks.
Globally accepted – This is one of the most common pressure vessel grades. Engineers and third-party inspectors know it well. Customs clearance is smooth.

FAQ

01.Can you provide EN 10204 3.2 certificates?
02.Can I use A516 Gr.70 instead of Q345R?
03.Do you still provide the MTC after cutting?
04.Can you arrange third-party inspection before shipment?
Yes. We work with SGS, BV, Intertek, and other inspection companies. You can ask them to:
Witness dimensional checking
Witness sampling for mechanical testing
Review the MTC and packaging
The inspection cost is usually paid by buyer, but we help coordinate scheduling and samples. We do not mark up the inspection fee.
05.What if the plates fail the inspection?
If a third-party inspection finds non-conformance to the agreed standard (for example wrong thickness or failed tensile test), we will do one of the following:
Replace the non-conforming plates at no extra cost
Refund the value of those plates
We have a clear quality clause in our sales contract. No vague promises. You can ask to see our standard contract terms before ordering.
06.Are you a trading company or a real mill?
