In the construction industry, Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) is an essential and indispensable item in constructions. Choosing a good steel supply helps projects ensure construction quality and optimize construction costs. In this article, MRS Steel will introduce the outstanding function and features of HRPO, the prevalent type of steel, in the most detail.1. What is HRPO (hot rolled steel pickled and oiled)?Hot rolled steel pickled and oiled (HRPO) is hot rolled steel with a temperature above 1,700 degrees F, higher than the crystallization temperature of many other steels. The process of hot rolling steel will start from steel billets, then heated, flattened into large rolls. The product is further kept at high temperature and run through the roller system to reach the finished product size. Depending on the needs of use, the steel will be cut and packed accordingly at high temperatures will make the finished steel easier to use.2. Characteristics of hot rolled pickled and oiledHot rolled pickled and oiled, when just produced, will be black-gray and gradually turn to red clay over time, with a thickness of 1.00mm or more, rounded and rough edges. Then the steel will be coated with oil to protect the surface.This steel can be left outdoors for a long time without preservation, so it is easy to transport and store when exporting. This factor also helps hot rolled pickled and oiled have a lower cost than many other types of steel.3. SpecificationsSpecifications of HRPO are as follows:1.5mm - 100mm x 1,000 - 2000mm x 6,000mm/12,000mmWeight, dimension tolerance, and mechanical properties of hot rolled steel pickled and oiled will meet the following standards:Japanese Standard: JIS G3101, G3106, G3131, G3132, G3193American Standard: ASTM A568, A10114.

The steel plate has many variations, like mild steel, low carbon steel, alloy steel, etc. Each type will have various applications in the industrial sector. Therefore, importers must determine their needs to choose the most accurate and suitable products.  In this section, MRS Steel will guide you with 5 tips to choose the best steel plate.The secret to choosing the best steel plateMRS Steel will help you choose the best steel plate through 5 criteria to evaluate the quality and suitability:1. DurabilityThe product's durability is one of the most critical considerations for importers when selecting steel plates. Steel has a significant bearing capacity and is less affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity... representing the safety and sustainability of the works. Therefore, when choosing to buy steel in general and steel plates in particular, customers are especially interested in product quality and specific product characteristics. Each type variant, such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, or color-coated steel sheet... will have different specifications, properties, and durability. Before you place an order, you'll need to understand your project requirements to select the correct steel. If you need to know that your project is suitable for this type of steel plate, you can contact MRS Steel via Hotline at +84 28 36 22 33 58 for the most detailed advice from a team of experts.2. Tensile When choosing to buy steel plates, you must pay attention to tensile strength because this is the core property of steel. Tensile strongly influences the power of a building or other manufacturing fields; it will determine the strength and bearing capacity of the final product. The selection of steel plate grades based on the correct standards and tensile will ensure the plate can withstand heavy loads without breaking.3. WeldabilityThe ability to weld will help the sheet steel bond together to create a final material suitable for the properties of each different construction. If your project requires welding of steel plates, choose product variants with weldability properties with the appropriate carbon content. Although welding can reduce the strength and hardness of steel plates, it is easy to machine into cost-effective, custom sizes and shapes.4. DuctilitySheet ductility is the limit to which a material can be stretched or bent before breaking completely. Customers need to choose high-ductility steel plates to ensure that they can withstand heavy loads or pressures without breaking. Depending on the variant of the steel plate, the internal carbon composition is different, leading to the difference in flexibility in each type. The best way to test the product's flexibility is to contact the supplier or steel industry experts for detailed advice before choosing to buy.5. Dimensions and weightBesides the 4 mechanical properties of steel, you need to determine the size and weight of your steel plate to order the most correct and cost-optimized order. It is usually purchased in Thickness x Width x Length units with a minimum thickness of 0.1875” - 0.24". Charges vary in width and length, but the most common steel plate sizes are usually 8ft wide, 12ft long, or 20ft long.Manufacturers can cut plates into various custom sizes but cannot vary the thickness. The formula for the estimated weight for a plate order is to multiply the quantity by the volume and density:Weight = {Thickness (mm) x Width (mm) x Length (mm) x 0.00000785 kg/mm3 } x Number of sheetsOr in pounds and inchesWeight = {[Thickness (in) x Width (in) x Length (in))] x 0.2836 in/lb3 } x Number of sheets*Note: Steel density 0.2836 in/lb3 ranges from 0.28-0.291 in/lb3. The above is a good weight estimation formula, but the final material weight may vary based on the situation.Following these tips, you can choose the best steel plate from MRS Steel for your project.
