GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR Steel Plate | 08Ni3DR 3.5Ni -100°C Vessel Plate
What is GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR Steel?
08Ni3DR is Chinese 3.5Ni vessel plate. Buyers search GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR, 08Ni3DR 3.5Ni -100°C vessel plate, GB/T 3531 08Ni3DR, GB/T 24510 08Ni3DR and 3.5Ni steel. All of those names belong on this page.
Current product rules sit in GB/T 713.4-2023. That book replaces GB/T 24510-2017. The same commercial name also left GB/T 3531-2014 when nickel grades moved into Part 4. Do not look for 08Ni3DR in GB/T 713.3. That part stops at low-alloy grades such as 09MnNiDR.
Yield is 320 MPa at 6–60 mm. Tensile is 490–620 MPa. Delivery is normalized or normalized and tempered. Quenched and tempered is allowed when the buyer agrees. Impact is −100 °C, 60 J. SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) for this grade.
Do not ship 06Ni9DR against 08Ni3DR. 06Ni9DR is 9Ni and −196 °C. Do not ship 09MnNiDR. That grade is 0.3–0.8% Ni. Do not ship 07Ni5DR or 06Ni7DR and call them 3.5Ni.

Density is 7.85 g/cm³. Do not use the 7.89 g/cm³ figure from 9Ni plate.

−100 °C 3.5Ni Pressure-Vessel Service
Buyers pick 08Ni3DR for ethylene-related equipment, low-temperature separators and other vessels that name Chinese 3.5Ni plate. It is not LNG inner-tank 9Ni plate. If the minimum design temperature is −196 °C, the drawing should name 06Ni9DR, SA353 or SA553.
It is not an ASME Section VIII plate by default. An ASME 3.5Ni file should name SA203 Gr.D, SA203 Gr.E or SA203 Gr.F and then write the extras. Dual marking is possible only when both books are met.
SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Stainless inquiries belong on ASME SA240 or ASTM A240.
Weldability
08Ni3DR is 3.5Ni vessel plate. Treat welding as Code welding when the equipment is a vessel.
Qualify to the applicable code. ASME dual-name work uses ASME Section IX. Consumables must match 3.5Ni practice, not a 9Ni 06Ni9DR procedure and not a 09MnNiDR procedure. Preheat follows thickness and hydrogen control. The fabricator owns the WPS. SHH STEEL can share mill heat data for that review.
Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition
Usual delivery from SHH STEEL is normalized or normalized-and-tempered GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR. Quenched and tempered is available when the order agrees. That is different from 06Ni9DR, which is QT by default.
If the vessel will see PWHT, say so. Test coupons then follow a simulated cycle. Extra simulation, 3.2 hold points or special NDE add time. Plan about two months when those extras are on the order.
The certificate lists GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR; heat number; heat analysis; product analysis when ordered; tensile to the correct thickness column; N, N+T or QT; impact at −100 °C. Certificates may be EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2. UT to NB/T 47013.3 Class I is the GB default.
Dimensions
Usual supply range from SHH STEEL for 08Ni3DR 3.5Ni -100°C vessel plate:
- Thickness: commonly 6 mm – 150 mm
- Width: 1500 mm – 4000 mm
- Length: 3000 mm – 12000 mm
- Cut-to-length plates and nest sizes inside those limits
Ship plate inquiries belong on shipbuilding steel plates or BV Rules. Weathering plate belongs on EN 10025-5 or Corten A/B. TMCP fine-grain structural belongs on EN 10025-4. QT structural belongs on EN 10025-6. Ordinary structural belongs on EN 10025-2 or JIS G3106.
Tolerances
Dimensional limits follow GB/T 713.1 and the mill rolling standard named on the order. Do not apply ASTM A36/A36M structural tolerances to a 3.5Ni vessel plate without writing them. UT to NB/T 47013.3 Class I is the GB default. EN 10160 or ASTM A435 / A578 may be added when the order names it.
Supplementary Requirements
Most export 08Ni3DR orders add extras. SHH STEEL does not assume them.
Charpy details. −100 °C, energy, location and orientation.
Product analysis. Add this when the destination file wants finished-plate chemistry.
Simulated PWHT. When the equipment will be stress-relieved.
NDE. UT Class I unless a tighter class is written.
Z-direction. Z15 / Z25 / Z35 when the drawing names it.
HIC / NACE / SSC. Only when written.
Third-party. EN 10204 3.2, with inspectors arranged for US, Mexican, European, Middle East, Japanese or Korean documentation packages.

Why Choose SHH STEEL
SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin). We supply ASTM / ASME / EN / DIN / JIS / GB steel to the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. On GB/T 713.4 08Ni3DR that means mill pricing, 08Ni3DR chemistry reported as heat analysis and as product analysis when ordered, recorded N, N+T or QT, tensile results to the correct thickness column, −100 °C impact, 3.1 as standard and 3.2 when specified.
We keep the grade on the order. 08Ni3DR is not 06Ni9DR. 08Ni3DR is not 07Ni5DR. 08Ni3DR is not 09MnNiDR. 08Ni3DR is not SA203 Gr.D unless both books are met. If the drawing says 9Ni, we will not ship 3.5Ni and call nickel close.
