Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this carbon steel stock sheet measures 0.509" (±0.005") in thickness, 29" (±0.125") in length, and 12" (±0.125") in width. Composed of low-carbon steel (typically ASTM A36 or equivalent), it exhibits a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi and a tensile strength of 58,000-80,000 psi, ensuring superior structural integrity and weldability. Its inherent hardness and resistance to deformation make it suitable for high-pressure environments and critical load-bearing applications within heating and cooling systems and general industrial fabrication.
