Introduction

Bethlehem Lukens Plate (BLP) is the major producer of carbon, alloy and roll-bonded  clad plate for the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical processing industries in the United States. We operate three production facilities in Pennsylvania and Indiana.

Many of our 400 plus grades of carbon and alloy plate steels are pressure vessel quality (PVQ) grades used in the design and fabrication of process vessels. In addition, we offer the thickest, widest and heaviest plates available in North America. For a comprehensive list of PVQ grades and size availability, refer to the Bethlehem Lukens Plate Steel Specification Guide, available on request.

Two pressure vessel plate steel specifications are, by far, the most popular for ambient and high temperature process vessel applications. ASME SA516- or A516 carbon steel- and ASME SA387-or A387 alloy steel- are technically detailed, based on BLP's experience in this brochure.
