What Is P235GH Steel Plate?

 

P235GH steel grade is a European standard pressure vessel steel specified in EN 10028-2. It is a non-alloy steel with specified elevated temperature properties, designed for components operating under pressure and moderate heat.

P235GH steel plate is characterized by:

  • Minimum yield strength of 235 MPa
  • Excellent weldability
  • Good cold and hot forming properties
  • Stable performance for long-term service at elevated temperatures
