SLA360
KRApproximate matchKS · KS D3541
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: Important correction: the initially suggested designation (KS D3585) is incorrect — KS D3585 is actually a Korean SANITARY STAINLESS TUBE standard (stainless steel, equivalent to JIS G3447 / ASTM A270), used in the food-processing/pharmaceutical industry, and unrelated to low-temperature pressure-vessel plate. The correct Korean standard for this family is KS D3541 ("carbon steel plates for low-temperature pressure vessels"), directly equivalent to JIS G3126. Additional point of uncertainty: the Korean sources consulted designate this standard's top grade "SLA360," while the corresponding current Japanese grade is "SLA365" — this 5 MPa gap in designation could not be confirmed as a recurring typo/OCR error across the sites consulted, or as a genuine historical divergence between the two standards (KS D3541 vs. successive revisions of JIS G3126); chemical composition not found in reliable public sources and therefore omitted rather than estimated.
