Plates certified to ASME SA516 Gr. 65 and ASTM A516 Gr. 65 are held in stock with Reliable Pipes and Tubes ltd. Also available from stock is a range of SA / A516 Gr. 65 HIC which is a specially manufactured hydrogen induced crack resistant steel. These steel grades have always been at the core of our product portfolio and we are widely acknowledged as experts in supplying and processing them.

ASTM A516 Gr. 65N or ASME SA516 Gr. 65N – the “N” is added to show that the steel is normalised

ASTM A516M or ASME SA516M – the “M” indicates that the material is certified in metric units
