High-Strength JIS G3124 Plates for Pressure Vessels
Technical specifications and application area of JIS G3124
The JIS G3124 standard regulates the production of high-strength steel plates designed for the manufacture of boiler equipment and pressure vessels operating under excess pressure. A key feature of this rolled product is the strictly standardized yield strength (or 0.2% proof stress) in the temperature range from normal conditions up to 400 °C. The material possesses excellent weldability characteristics, which is critical for critical welded structures. EV Group China supplies a wide range of these steels, ensuring compliance with all industrial standard requirements.
The range of nominal thicknesses for plate products is presented in the table below:
| Steel Grade | SEV 245 | SEV 295 | SEV 345 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thickness, mm | from 6 to 150 inclusive | from 6 to 150 inclusive | from 6 to 150 inclusive |
The chemical composition of the steels determines their high operational reliability and processability during heat treatment:
| Steel | SEV 245 | SEV 295 | SEV 345 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | <0.20 | <0.19 | <0.19 |
| Si | 0.15-0.60 | 0.15-0.60 | 0.15-0.60 |
| Mn | 0.80-1.60 | 0.80-1.60 | 0.80-1.60 |
| P | <0.030 | <0.030 | <0.030 |
| S | <0.030 | <0.030 | <0.030 |
| Cu | <0.40 | <0.70 | <0.70 |
| Mo | <0.35 | 0.10-0.40 | 0.15-0.50 |
| Nb | <0.05 | <0.05 | <0.05 |
| V | 0.10 | 0.10 | 0.10 |
