Key Technical Notes:

1. Strength Progression

   • P235GH → P355GH: Increasing carbon/manganese content enhances strength but reduces weldability

   • Yield strength increases by ~50% from P235GH to P355GH

2. Weldability Considerations

   • P235GH: Best weldability (lowest carbon equivalent = ~0.35)

   • P355GH: Requires preheat (>75°C) for thick sections (CE ~0.45)

   • All grades require post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) for thicknesses >35mm

3. Temperature Limitations

   • P235GH/P265GH: Not recommended for service >400°C (graphitization risk)

   • For >450°C service, consider 13CrMo4-5 (EN 10216-2) alloy steel

4. Impact Testing

   • "GH" suffix indicates suitability for elevated temperatures

   • "NL" grades (e.g., P355NL) are Charpy tested at -50°C for low-temp service

5. Dimensional Tolerances

   • OD: ±0.75% (hot-finished), ±0.5% (cold-drawn)

   • WT: +15%/-10% (standard), +10%/-5% (special tolerance)

 

Grade Selection Guide

Application	Recommended Grade	Reason
Low-pressure water pipelines	P235GH	Cost-effective
Medium-pressure steam boilers	P265GH	Balanced strength/weldability
High-pressure oil transmission	P295GH	Better strength than P265GH
Power plant steam headers	P355GH	Highest strength in EN 10216-1

 

Comparison with International Standards

EN 10216-1	ASTM Equivalent	Key Difference
P235GH	A106 Gr.A	Stricter P/S limits in EN
P265GH	A106 Gr.B	EN requires lower S content
P355GH	API 5L X52	EN has mandatory impact testing options

 

Quality Control Requirements

1. Mandatory Tests:

   • Hydrostatic (test pressure = 70 bar for 10 sec)

   • Ultrasonic examination (for WT ≥6mm)

   • Tensile testing (each heat)

2. Optional Tests:

   • Charpy V-notch (for NL grades or client request)

   • Hardness testing

   • PMI (positive material identification)
