FAQs — Steel Plate

Steel Plate: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.

01
What is a steel plate?

A steel plate is a flat-rolled steel product supplied in a specified material, grade, thickness, width and length. It is generally used where heavier sections, structural strength, wear resistance, pressure containment or industrial fabrication capability are required. Steel plates are commonly used in buildings, bridges, tanks, machinery, mining equipment, platforms, pressure vessels and heavy engineering.

02
Which types of steel plates does Ferrite manufacture and supply?

Ferrite’s published range includes mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, hot-rolled, boiler-quality, high-tensile, abrasion-resistant and chequered plates. Each plate family has different grades, mechanical properties, thickness ranges and applications. Availability should therefore be confirmed against the complete specification rather than only the words “steel plate.”

03
What is the difference between a steel sheet and a steel plate?

Both are flat-rolled steel products, but “sheet” generally refers to relatively thinner material, while “plate” is commonly used for heavier structural and industrial sections. The exact distinction can vary by standard and commercial practice. To prevent confusion, specify the actual grade, thickness, width, length and applicable standard in the enquiry.

04
What is the difference between mild steel, carbon steel and stainless steel plates?

Mild steel plate is a low-carbon steel commonly selected for structural fabrication, machinery, frames and general engineering. Carbon steel covers a wider family of steels in which carbon content and other properties vary by grade. Stainless steel contains sufficient chromium to form a corrosion-resistant passive surface and is selected for hygienic, chemical, marine or corrosion-sensitive environments. Ferrite publishes separate MS, carbon steel and stainless steel plate categories.

05
What is the difference between structural, high-tensile, boiler-quality and abrasion-resistant plates?

Structural plates are used for load-bearing fabrication and general engineering. High-tensile plates provide higher yield or tensile strength for demanding structural applications. Boiler-quality plates are specified for approved pressure and temperature service. Abrasion-resistant plates are selected for wear applications such as liners, chutes, buckets and material-handling equipment.

06
Which structural steel plate grades can Ferrite supply?

Ferrite’s published plate range includes grades such as: IS 2062 E250A IS 2062 E250 BR IS 2062 E250 BO IS 2062 E350 variants IS 2062 E450 variants ASTM A36 S235JR S275JR S355J2 EN8 C45 The exact grade must be confirmed for the required thickness, dimensions, test requirements and application.

07
Which stainless steel plate grades are available?

Ferrite’s published stainless steel plate range includes 304, 304L, 310, 310L, 316 and 316L. SS 304 is widely used for general corrosion-resistant applications. SS 316 is commonly considered where improved resistance to chlorides or more aggressive environments is required, while SS 310 is associated with selected elevated-temperature applications. Final grade selection should follow the project specification.

08
What steel-plate sizes and thicknesses can Ferrite supply?

Ferrite’s MS and stainless steel plate pages publish selected thicknesses from 3–100 mm and widths of 1,200, 1,500, 1,800 and 2,400 mm. Its carbon steel plate page lists thicknesses from 3–25 mm, widths from 1,000–3,000 mm and lengths from 2,000–10,000 mm. Not every thickness, width, length and grade is available in every plate type. Submit the exact requirement for confirmation.

What information should I provide for an accurate steel-plate quotation?

Provide: Plate type Material grade Applicable standard Thickness Width and length Required quantity or tonnage Surface condition or coating Approved mill or make MTC and traceability requirements Additional testing or inspection Cutting or fabrication requirements Delivery location Required delivery date BOQ or drawing Complete specifications help prevent pricing the wrong grade, plate type or processing scope.

10
How is steel-plate weight calculated?

Theoretical plate weight is calculated from: Thickness × width × length × material density For ordinary carbon or mild steel, a density of approximately 7,850 kg/m³ is commonly used for estimation. The final commercial weight should follow the dimensions, applicable tolerances and agreed weighment basis.

11
How much does a steel plate weigh per square metre?

The weight per square metre depends mainly on the plate thickness and material density. For example, a thicker plate weighs proportionally more per square metre than a thinner plate of the same material. Send the grade, thickness, width and length, and Ferrite can prepare a theoretical weight estimate for quotation.

12
How can I get the current steel-plate price per kg?

Send the plate type, grade, thickness, dimensions, quantity, mill preference, processing requirement and delivery location. Steel-plate prices change with the grade, thickness, mill source, plate size, testing, cutting, market conditions and freight. A dated specification-based quotation is more reliable than a general online price range.

13
Are steel plates quoted by kilogram, tonne, piece or complete plate?

Steel plates may be quoted by kilogram, metric tonne, piece or complete plate. The quotation should clearly state: Rate basis Theoretical or actual weight Plate dimensions Cutting and processing charges Testing and inspection charges Taxes Loading Freight Unloading responsibility This allows the buyer to compare the complete landed cost.

14
What is the minimum order quantity for steel plates?

Ferrite currently publishes a minimum order quantity of 1 tonne on its parent Steel Plates page and several specialty plate pages. Smaller requirements may be considered from available stock. Custom grades, special dimensions, mill-specific material or fresh production may require a different minimum quantity.
