BS 970 (Part 3) 416S37 vs IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr13H

Minimal Match — 35% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 3) 416S37 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) and IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr13H (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Stainless Steel category. BS 970 (Part 3) 416S37 is typically used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; martensitic stainless steel (table 17), while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr13H is commonly used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature. BS 970 (Part 3) 416S37 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr13H is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 3) 416S37 vs IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr13H is a 76.8% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
