What is the difference between EN 10216-2 P235GH and EN P265GH ?

EN 10216-2 P235GH and P265GH are both non-alloy steel grades specified under the European standard EN 10216-2 for seamless steel tubes used in pressure applications. Although they share some similarities, there are some differences in their chemical compositions and mechanical properties, which affect their suitability for specific applications.

Chemical Composition:

The chemical compositions of P235GH and P265GH are similar, but they have some differences in their carbon, manganese, and silicon content.

  • P235GH:
    • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.16%
    • Manganese (Mn): 0.60 – 1.20%
    • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.35%
    • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025%
    • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.015%
    • Nitrogen (N): ≤ 0.012%
  • P265GH:
    • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.20%
    • Manganese (Mn): 0.80 – 1.40%
    • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.40%
    • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025%
    • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.020%
    • Nitrogen (N): ≤ 0.012%

As seen from the chemical compositions, P265GH has a higher carbon content, manganese content, and silicon content compared to P235GH.

Mechanical Properties:

The mechanical properties of P235GH and P265GH also differ, with P265GH generally having higher tensile strength, yield strength, and better resistance to heat and pressure.

  • P235GH:
    • Tensile Strength: 360 – 500 MPa
    • Yield Strength: ≥ 235 MPa
    • Elongation: ≥ 25%
  • P265GH:
      • Tensile Strength: 410 – 570 MPa
    • Yield Strength: ≥ 265 MPa
    • Elongation: ≥ 23%

The higher mechanical properties of P265GH make it more suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications compared to P235GH.

Applications:

  • P235GH is typically used in low to medium pressure applications, such as low-pressure steam systems, heating systems, and water systems. It is also used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and pipeline systems with low to medium pressure requirements.
  • P265GH is more suitable for medium to high-pressure applications, such as high-pressure steam systems, power generation, and process industries that require materials with better resistance to heat and pressure. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, high-pressure storage tanks, and high-pressure pipeline systems.

In conclusion, the main differences between EN 10216-2 P235GH and P265GH lie in their chemical compositions and mechanical properties. P265GH generally has higher strength and better resistance to heat and pressure, making it more suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications compared to P235GH. However, the choice between P235GH and P265GH should always be based on the specific requirements of the application to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
