A516 steel plate, also known as PVQ516 steel plate, is carbon steel with specifications for pressure vessel plates and moderate or lower temperature service. A516 steel plate is intended primarily for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important. Plates 1.50” and under in thickness are normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. The plates may be ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both. Plates over 1.50” in thickness shall be normalized.
