What is DIN 17102 EStE285 Steel?

DIN 17102 EStE285, also written EStE 285, ESTE285, DIN17102 EStE285 and EStE285 steel plate, is a weldable normalized fine-grain structural steel under DIN 17102. The E prefix is the special low-temperature quality — colder and cleaner than TStE285. Yield in the thin band is still 285 MPa. Tensile on thinner product is still typically 390–510 MPa. This is the DIN 17102 special-low-temp line that conversion tables map to P275NL2. It is not EStE255 and not EStE355. SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) for this grade. Plate is produced to DIN 17102 and shipped to buyers in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia.

A purchase order that only says “275 NL2 fine grain” is incomplete if the drawing still names DIN. Write DIN 17102 EStE285 and the impact temperature. Do not ship StE285, WStE285 or TStE285 against an EStE285 drawing. Do not ship EStE255 or EStE355 because the yield step is wrong.

DIN 17102 is a legacy specification. New European pressure work usually names P275NL2. Replacement projects still name EStE285 when an old German calculation or mill qualification stays on DIN.

This page is not DIN 17100 St44-3. It is not SA516 Gr.55 and not SA516 Gr.70. It is not nickel plate like SA203 Gr.A or SA203 Gr.D. It is not ASTM A36 steel plate. It is not QT alloy under ASME SA387 or ASME SA543.

Chemical Composition

DIN 17102 EStE285 / EStE 285 is the cleanest 285 column in this book.

TStE2850.180.0300.025
EStE2850.160.0250.015

Do not ship a TStE285 heat as EStE285. EStE255 manganese is 0.50–1.30. EStE355 manganese is 0.90–1.65. If the order dual-names P275NL2, residuals must also fit EN 10028-3 of the named edition. SHH STEEL reports heat analysis on every certificate and product analysis when the order names it.

Mechanical Properties

Room-temperature yield and tensile follow the 285 family. Special low-temperature impact is why the E letter exists.

Room-temperature properties — DIN 17102 EStE285 (typical published idea)

Thickness ideaYield ReH min (MPa)Tensile Rm (MPa)

Confirm the ordered thickness against the named edition. Do not treat 390–510 MPa tensile as permission to stamp SA516 Gr.60, SA285 Gr.A or SA662 Gr.A.

Impact for EStE285 is the special low-temperature package. P275NL2 comparison is commonly −50 °C with the tighter NL2 chemistry idea. Write the test temperature, orientation and energy on the order. Do not assume a TStE285 coupon covers EStE285.

Same 285 MPa yield idea. E is not a marketing letter on TStE285. E has lower carbon, lower P and S, and a colder quality idea. SHH STEEL will not ship TStE285 against an EStE285 purchase order without a written change.

Special Low-Temperature Fine-Grain Service

DIN 17102 EStE285 / EStE 285 is selected for welded structures and pressure equipment that need the coldest fine-grain package at the 285 MPa yield step. It is the practical DIN counterpart to P275NL2. It is not automatically an ASME Section VIII plate. If the vessel is ASME, the drawing should name an ASME or ASTM grade such as SA516 Gr.70, SA662 Gr.C or SA537 Cl.1.

SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It is not nickel low-temp plate like SA203 Gr.B or SA203 Gr.F. Those grades use nickel. EStE285 uses fine grain, low residuals and normalize. It is not QT Ni-Cr-Mo like SA543 Type B Cl.3. It is not Cr-Mo like SA387 Gr.22 Cl.2 or SA387 Gr.11 Cl.2. Stainless inquiries belong on ASME SA240 or ASTM A240.

Weldability

EStE285 is killed fine-grain C-Mn steel with the lowest C / P / S in the 285 family. Welding is production welding, and Code welding when the equipment is a vessel.

Qualify procedures to the applicable code. For ASME work that happens to use a dual-named plate, use ASME Section IX. Consumables should match the 390–510 MPa tensile band, not a SA387 Gr.12 Cl.2 Cr-Mo procedure and not a QT procedure from SA517 Gr.Q. Preheat follows thickness and hydrogen control. The fabricator owns the WPS. SHH STEEL can share mill heat data for that review.

Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition

Usual delivery from SHH STEEL is normalized DIN 17102 EStE285 / EStE 285 plate. Fine-grain practice and normalize are the product idea. As-rolled shipment is a special agreement and is a poor fit for a special low-temperature quality.

If the vessel or structure will see PWHT, test coupons shall follow a simulated cycle when the order names it. This is not the QT route used on SA738 Gr.B or SA737 Gr.B. Special heat treatment, extra simulation or third-party hold points add time. Plan about two months when those extras are on the order.

The certificate lists DIN 17102 EStE285 (and EStE 285 if requested); heat number; heat analysis including the tighter C / P / S; product analysis when ordered; tensile results to the correct thickness column; normalize statement; impact at the named temperature. Certificates may be EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2. Dual marking to P275NL2 is available only when chemistry, tensile and impact all fit the named EN edition.

Dimensions

Usual supply range from SHH STEEL for EStE285 fine grain steel:

  • Thickness: commonly 6 mm – 150 mm. Confirm any request above 150 mm against mill capability
  • Width: 1500 mm – 4000 mm
  • Length: 3000 mm – 12000 mm
  • Cut-to-length plates and nest sizes inside those limits

Ship plate inquiries belong on shipbuilding steel plates or BV Rules. Weathering plate belongs on EN 10025-5 or Corten A/B. TMCP fine-grain structural belongs on EN 10025-4. QT structural belongs on EN 10025-6. Ordinary structural belongs on EN 10025-2 or JIS G3106.

Tolerances

Dimensional limits follow the mill rolling standard named on the order, commonly EN 10029 for plate when the buyer is in Europe. Do not apply ASTM A36/A36M structural tolerances to a DIN fine-grain plate without writing them. UT to EN 10160 or ASTM A435 / A577 / A578 is added when the order names it.

Supplementary Requirements

Most export DIN 17102 EStE285 / EStE 285 orders add extras. SHH STEEL does not assume them.

Charpy details. Temperature, energy, location and orientation. This is the reason EStE285 exists. Write the temperature explicitly.

Simulated PWHT. When the equipment will be stress-relieved.

NDE. UT per the named method.

Z-direction / through-thickness testing. When the drawing names Z15 / Z25 / Z35.

Restricted residuals. Some European files copy EN 10028-3 NL2 options onto EStE285. Write those options on the order.

Third-party. EN 10204 3.2, with inspectors arranged for US, European or Middle East documentation packages.

Equivalent Material Grades

These names are project-comparison grades. They are not automatic substitutes.

FAQ

What names are used for DIN 17102 EStE285?
Buyers write DIN 17102 EStE285, EStE 285, ESTE285, DIN17102 EStE285 and EStE285 steel plate. Some inquiries only say P275NL2. SHH STEEL prints the wording on the purchase order.
What does the E in EStE285 mean?
Special low-temperature quality in DIN 17102 at the 285 MPa yield step. The closest modern vessel name is P275NL2.
What is the yield strength of EStE285?
285 MPa minimum at ≤16 mm. Yield drops as thickness increases. Tensile is typically 390–510 MPa on thinner product.
How is EStE285 chemistry different from TStE285 and StE285?
EStE285 carbon heat is typically 0.16% max, P 0.025 max, S 0.015 max. TStE285 is 0.18 / 0.030 / 0.025. StE285 is 0.18 / 0.035 / 0.030.
