Low temperature carbon steel plates refers to carbon steel used in low temperature environments, and its carbon content is generally between 0.1% and 0.25%. Low temperature carbon steel has good low temperature toughness and welding performance, and is widely used in low temperature containers, pipelines, low temperature equipment and other fields.

2.Applications of LTCS plates
(1)Pressure Vessels
LTCS plates are commonly used in the fabrication of pressure vessels plate that operate at low temperatures, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanks, liquid oxygen tanks, and other cryogenic storage equipment.
(2)Chemical and Petroleum Industries
In the chemical processing and petroleum refining industries, LTCS plates are used to construct reactors, heat exchangers, pipelines, and other equipment that must maintain performance at low temperatures.
(3)Construction Industry
In construction projects in polar or cold regions, LTCS plates can be used for structural support and roofing systems to ensure structural stability under extreme low temperatures.
(4)Transportation
LTCS plates are used in the manufacturing of tankers for transporting liquefied gases, refrigerated transport vehicles, and other transportation equipment that operates at low temperatures.
(5)Energy Industry
LTCS plates are key materials in the production, storage, and transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
(6)Food Processing
In facilities that require low-temperature storage and transportation for frozen food processing and storage, LTCS plates are used to construct cold storage facilities and refrigeration equipment.
(7)Medical and Scientific Research
LTCS plates can be used to manufacture cryogenic experimental equipment, such as liquid nitrogen storage tanks and cryogenic experimental chambers.
(8)Marine Engineering
In marine platforms and other marine structures, LTCS plates can be used to manufacture equipment and structures that operate in cold seawater.
(10)Aerospace
In some aerospace applications that require operation at extreme low temperatures, LTCS plates can also be used to manufacture components and structures.
