Application and standard requirements of 16MnDR steel in pressure vessel manufacturing
16MnDR steel is a common material used in pressure vessel manufacturing and is particularly suitable for low and medium temperature applications. The following are the applications and standard requirements of 16MnDR steel in pressure vessel manufacturing:
1. Application:
- Pressure vessels: 16MnDR steel is commonly used to manufacture various pressure vessels such as gas tanks, liquefied gas tanks, storage tanks, and reactors.
- Boilers and pressure pipes: 16MnDR steel is also suitable for manufacturing boilers and pressure pipes, such as steam boilers, hot water boilers, and piping systems that transport high-pressure fluids.
2. Standard requirements:
- GB 713: National standard GB 713 specifies the technical requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties and test methods of 16MnDR steel. This standard applies to 16MnDR steel with a carbon content of less than 0.20%.
- GB/T 3531: This standard specifies the technical requirements and test methods for 16MnDR steel, and is mainly applicable to the manufacture of 16MnDR steel plates for cryogenic pressure vessels.
- ASME SA-516/SA-516M: The standard of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) stipulates carbon steel plates for medium and low temperature pressure vessels. 16MnDR steel can meet the requirements of this standard.
The above is a basic introduction to the application and standard requirements of 16MnDR steel in pressure vessel manufacturing. It is worth noting that in practical applications, it is also necessary to select appropriate materials and comply with corresponding standards and specifications based on specific project and country/region regulations.
