Plates of S690Q steel grade
Fine-grain structural steel after quenching and tempering
Products description
S690Q – structural high-strength steel with minimum yield strength of 690 MPa supplied in quenched and tempered
condition (Q). Plates of S690 steel grade comply with EN 10025-6 standard. It is typically used in structures bearing
extreme loads – in the production of mining and heavy construction equipment, crane facilities, offshore drilling rigs
and supports for offshore wind mills as well as in the construction of bridges and trestles.
Available dimensions
Plates of S690 steel grade are available with thicknesses of 8-100 mm for Q and QL quality groups and with thicknesses
of 8-50 mm for QL1 quality group. Available width of plates is up to 3200 mm, length – up to 12200 mm. With the plate
thickness of 100 mm and plate width of 1600 mm, the maximum length is 7500 mm*. Plates with thickness up to 50
mm are supplied with edges trimmed, with thickness of 51 to 100 mm – with the edge flame cut.
* – maximum weight is 9,5 ton
