RE: SA-216 WCB vs SA-516-70
The mechanical property requirements between these two specifications are very similar, with the casting having slightly lower yield strength requirements.
Casting
UTS 70-90 Ksi
YS 36 Ksi min
SA 516
UTS 70 Ksi min
YS 38 Ksi min
RE: SA-216 WCB vs SA-516-70
Your question tells us that you do not understand that ASTM standards are specifically developed for the product form.
SA516-70 is fully killed, rolled carbon steel that would be the plate material used to fabricate the shell of an ASME pressure vessel.
SA216-WCB is also carbon steel, but it is a cast material and would be specified for something like a gate or globe valve body.
hope that this helps...
