Charp V Notch testing is done to ASTM A20 European (EN) and American (ASTM/ASME) pressure vessel quality steel grades can both be produced with HIC resistance. EN10028 specifies the acceptance requirements for the EN grades (starting with P) and the test requirements are specified in EN10229.

American grades are specified in NACE MR0175 and the testing requirements in NACE TM0284. Generally we can offer A516 plate in grades 60, 65 and 70 which have been tested to TM 0284 and which meet acceptance class I of EN 10028–3.

Grades available for immediate delivery are:
  • A516 70 + HIC
  • A516 65 + HIC
  • A516 60 + HIC
The following grades are not generally available as HIC resistant but we often find that one of the A516 grades will meet the engineering requirements.
  • P275 + HIC
  • P 355 + HIC
  • P 460 + HIC
