Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. is a trusted supplier of high-quality carbon steel plates for storage tank fabrication, serving global markets including North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Our ASTM A516 Grade 70 plate in thicknesses from 6mm to 50mm is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of welded pressure vessels and storage tanks. With ISO9001 certification and annual export value exceeding US$50 million, we ensure consistent quality, reliable supply, and competitive pricing.
This grade offers excellent toughness at low temperatures, superior weldability, and high strength, making it the preferred choice for fabricators worldwide. Whether you need standard sizes or custom dimensions, our flexible production capabilities and extensive inventory support your project timelines.
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent Toughness: ASTM A516 Grade 70 provides outstanding impact resistance at sub-zero temperatures, ensuring safety in cryogenic storage applications.
- Superior Weldability: Low carbon content and controlled chemistry enable easy welding without preheating for most thicknesses, reducing fabrication time.
- High Strength: Minimum yield strength of 260 MPa (38 ksi) and tensile strength of 485-620 MPa (70-90 ksi) support heavy-duty tank structures.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Advanced leveling and cutting equipment ensure flatness tolerance within ASTM standards, minimizing scrap.
- Customizable Sizes: Available in widths up to 3000mm and lengths up to 12000mm, with shearing or plasma cutting to your exact specifications.
- Traceability: Each plate is marked with heat number and mill test certificate (MTC) for full material traceability.

Our plates undergo rigorous testing including ultrasonic inspection, mechanical property verification, and dimensional checks to ensure compliance with ASTM A516 requirements. The fine grain practice and controlled sulfur content enhance through-thickness ductility, reducing the risk of lamellar tearing in welded joints.
For storage tank fabrication, we recommend normalized plates for thicknesses above 25mm to achieve uniform grain structure and improved low-temperature toughness. Our team can provide technical guidance on heat treatment and welding procedures based on your specific design code (e.g., ASME Section VIII, API 650).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between ASTM A516 Grade 70 and other carbon steel grades?
A: ASTM A516 Grade 70 is specifically designed for pressure vessel and storage tank applications. It offers better low-temperature toughness and weldability compared to common structural grades like A36 or A572. Its controlled chemistry ensures reliable performance in welded fabrications.
Q2: Can you supply plates thicker than 50mm for storage tank applications?
A: Yes, we can supply thicker plates up to 100mm or more on request. However, for thicknesses above 50mm, we recommend normalized or quenched and tempered conditions to maintain mechanical properties. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements.
Q3: Do you provide mill test certificates (MTC) with each shipment?
A: Absolutely. Every plate we ship is accompanied by a mill test certificate showing heat number, chemical composition, and mechanical test results. Third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or other agencies is also available upon request.
Q4: What are the typical lead times for ASTM A516 Grade 70 plates?
A: For standard sizes (6-50mm thickness, 2000-2500mm width), lead time is typically 7-15 days after order confirmation. For custom sizes or special heat treatment, lead time may be 15-25 days. We also maintain a stock of popular dimensions for immediate shipment.
Q5: Can you cut the plates to specific dimensions for tank fabrication?
A: Yes, we offer cutting services including plasma cutting, shearing, and laser cutting (for thinner plates). We can deliver plates with square edges, beveled edges for welding, or custom shapes as per your drawings.
Q6: Is your company ISO certified?
A: Yes, Hemaokang Steel is ISO9001 certified, ensuring our quality management system meets international standards. We also comply with ASTM and ASME requirements for pressure vessel steel plates.
Q7: What payment terms do you accept?
A: We accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% before shipment) and L/C at sight. For long-term partnerships, other terms may be negotiable. Please discuss with our sales team.
Q8: How do you package the plates for export?
A: Standard export packing includes steel strapping, plastic or waterproof paper wrapping, and edge protection. For sea freight, plates are bundled on skids or in containers to prevent damage during transit. We can also provide custom packaging as per your requirements.
