Many people don't know what's the difference between the boiler plate and the vessels plate. The raw materials of the boiler plate and the vessels plate are actually steel plates. As we all know, literally, the boiler plate is specially used for making plates for boilers, while the vessels plate is mainly used for making pressure vessels. Whether it's the boiler plate or the vessels plate, it has special components, and it can to show very good performance. Let's summarize how to distinguish boiler plate and vessels plate.
In the past, the boiler plate and vessels plate were separated and complied with different standards.
In 2008, the two parts were combined to form this standard GB713-2008. There is no difference between boiler plate and vessels plate in essence, but some materials are only used for pressure vessels and not for boilers. Moreover, the boiler drum also belongs to the category of pressure vessel. "Plate for boiler and pressure vessel" is just a kind of saying produced in the process of national overall management of boiler and pressure vessel.
Now the state has issued GB / t713-2008. In this standard, the original 20g boiler plate and 20R vessels plate are combined into Q245R, the original 16Mng boiler plate and 16MnR vessels plate are combined into Q345R. Boiler plate and vessels plate are no longer distinguished separately. Boiler and vessel plate is just a kind of saying in the process of national overall management of boiler and pressure vessel.
