ASTM A387 Grade 9 plate carries 9% chromium and 1% molybdenum, giving the highest oxidation and sulphidation resistance of the conventional Cr-Mo plate grades. It is specified for vessels and exchangers that operate continuously at temperatures where Grade 11 or Grade 22 would scale.
Sarovar Tube Industries manufactures, stocks and exports ASTM A387 Grade 9 Sheets & Plates from Mumbai to customers across the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Every heat is verified by in-house testing before despatch and supported by complete documentation, so the material you receive is exactly the material you specified.
