MATERIAL DATA

Chemical Composition by Plate Thickness

A36 carbon limits change with plate thickness. You can specify the standard edition, test documentation and inspection requirements in the RFQ.

ASTM A36 plate — reference chemistry

Plate thicknessCarbon maximum
Up to 20 mm0.25%
Over 20–40 mm0.25%
Over 40–65 mm0.26%
Over 65–100 mm0.27%
Over 100 mm0.29%
For plates over 380 mm wide, reference phosphorus and sulfur maxima are 0.030% each under ASTM A36/A36M-19. The agreed standard edition and heat analysis determine final acceptance.

Plate dimensions & theoretical weight

Calculate an estimated order weight using nominal carbon steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.

Estimated total weight8.478 MT847.8 kg per plate

Theoretical calculation; final shipping and invoicing quantities follow the purchase contract.

PROCUREMENT QUESTIONS

A36 Plate Order Questions

Which details help you quote my A36 plate order?

Share the grade, thickness, width, length, quantity, destination port, inspection requirements and drawings where applicable.

How is A36 steel plate theoretical weight calculated?

Use thickness (mm) × width (mm) × length (mm) × 0.00000785 for kilograms per plate, based on nominal steel density.

Can my purchase include cutting and inspection?

Add cut sizes, drawings, MTC requirements and third-party inspection instructions to your RFQ. We will confirm the available processing and inspection scope in the quotation.
