ASTM A240 316L Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate 3.0mm-100mm Thickness No.1 Finish for Pressure Vessel Fabrication
Product Introduction
This ASTM A240 316L hot rolled stainless steel plate is manufactured to the highest quality standards with full pressure vessel certifications including PED 2014/68/EU compliance. The low carbon 316L grade with molybdenum addition provides superior corrosion resistance in acidic and chloride-containing environments, while maintaining excellent mechanical properties across a wide temperature range from cryogenic (-196°C) to elevated service temperatures (+550°C). Each plate undergoes 100% ultrasonic testing and receives complete material test certificates (MTC 3.1 per EN 10204) with traceability to the original heat number.
