ASME SA36 Baffle Plate – Technical Overview

Durable Structural Component for Industrial Applications

1. Introduction

The ASME SA36 Baffle Plate is a carbon steel structural plate manufactured in compliance with the ASME SA36/ASTM A36 standard. Designed for high-strength applications, it is widely used in:

• Pressure vessels

• Heat exchangers

• Boiler systems

• Storage tanks

• Pipeline supports

Its primary function is to redirect fluid flow, reduce vibration, and enhance structural integrity in industrial equipment.

2. Key Features

3. Advantages

✅ Cost-Effective: Low-carbon steel balances strength and affordability.
✅ Weldability: Excellent compatibility with common welding techniques.
✅ Corrosion Resistance: Optional coatings (e.g., galvanization) for harsh environments.
✅ Versatility: Customizable dimensions and hole patterns (e.g., drilled or perforated).

4. Manufacturing Process

1. Material Selection: SA36-grade hot-rolled steel.

2. Cutting: Plasma, laser, or waterjet cutting to required shapes.

3. Forming: Press-bending or rolling for curved baffles.

4. Surface Treatment: Sandblasting, priming, or galvanizing.
