HIC Tested Steel sheet

Our HIC tested steel plate is either tested at the mill or by an independent UKAS approved testing agency. However, as the steel we supply is generally for very high quality usage, our customers usually specify the test criteria themselves. Masteel can also help you formulate a test criteria for your pressure vessel steel. As far as is technically possible, your inspection and acceptance requirements can be tailored to your individual requirements.

HIC steel plate carbon steel plates which are tested to assess the susceptibility of the material to hydrogen induced cracking , which is a problem commonly found in wet H2S/sour service working environments.

MASTERHIC is Masteel UK Limited's designation for HIC Steel for fine grain pressure vessels offering specific and superior properties for sour gas application. HIC resistant steel is manufactured via the electric arc furnace with desulphurisation, dephosphorisation, ladle refining and vacuum degassing to provide an ultra clean and homogeneous steel. HIC steel is particularly suited for pressure equipment where wet h2s corrosion can be a problem.
