🟧 Product Overview

P235GH, P265GH, P295GH, and P355GH are non‑alloy pressure vessel steels under the EN 10028 standard. They are widely used in boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and industrial pressure systems requiring reliable elevated‑temperature performance.

These grades offer excellent weldability, good ductility, and stable mechanical properties. P235GH is used for moderate pressure, while P355GH provides higher strength for more demanding applications.
