ASME SA572 steel standard covers five grades of high-strength low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, sheet piling, and bars. SA572 Grades 42 [290], 50 [345], and 55 [380] are intended for riveted, bolted, or welded structures. SA572 Grades 60 [415] and 65 [450] are intended for riveted or bolted construction of bridges, or for riveted, bolted, or welded construction in other applications.
ASME SA572 equivalent: EN S355JR (1.0045), DIN St52-3, GB Q345B.
