CEN/EN · EN 10028-3

Family of fine-grain, aluminum-killed carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates, normalized and Charpy-impact tested to guarantee good toughness at low temperature. Used for liquefied gas storage tanks, air separation units, LPG spheres and equipment exposed to sub-zero service temperatures (typically -20°C to -60°C), without requiring the nickel-alloy steels reserved for more extreme cryogenic applications.

Note: The "N" (normalized) and "L" (low temperature, guaranteed impact test) grade of the EN 10028-3 series, the standard toughness variant. Often matched with ASTM A537 Class 1 or A516 Gr.70/65 depending on the depth of comparison used by suppliers — the Mn/Si ranges differ significantly from A537's, so the equivalence remains approximate.
