EN 10028-2 P265GH Steel Plate | P265GH High Temp Vessel Plate
What is EN 10028-2 P265GH Steel?
P265GH is the workhorse carbon grade in EN 10028-2. Buyers search EN 10028-2 P265GH, P265GH high temp vessel plate, 1.0425 and P265GH steel plate. GH means elevated-temperature properties. This page is not EN 10028-3 fine-grain low-temperature plate and not EN 10028-4 nickel plate.
Yield is 265 MPa at ≤16 mm. Tensile is 410–530 MPa. Steel number is 1.0425. Delivery is usually normalized (+N). SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) for this grade.
Do not ship Q345R steel plate against a P265GH drawing without checking both books. Q345R is stronger. The closer Chinese carbon vessel name is often Q245R steel plate. Do not ship SA516 Grade 70 carbon steel plates and call 70 the same as P265GH. SA-516 Grade 70 sits nearer P355GH. A closer ASME carbon comparison is often SA516 Grade 60 carbon steel plates or SA285 Grade C steel plate. Dual marking is possible only when chemistry, tensile, impact and delivery all fit.

P265GH is killed carbon steel with a modest manganese band. It is not Cr-Mo plate and not 9Ni plate. SHH STEEL reports cast analysis on every certificate and product analysis when the order names it. Density is 7.85 g/cm³.
Mechanical Properties
Room-temperature values below are the usual ≤16 mm column. Yield falls as thickness rises. Use the thickness column on the mill certificate.
Tensile and Yield — EN 10028-2 P265GH
| Thickness (mm) | Yield min (MPa) | Tensile (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 16 | 265 | 410 – 530 |
| 16 – 40 | 255 | 410 – 530 |
| 40 – 60 | 245 | 410 – 530 |
| 60 – 100 | 215 | 400 – 530 |
| 100 – 150 | 200 | 380 – 510 |
| Density | 7.85 g/cm³ | 7.85 g/cm³ |
Elongation is typically 22% min on thinner plate. Impact at 0 °C, 27 J, is the usual option when the order names it. Elevated-temperature proof strength is part of EN 10028-2. Ask for Table 5 values when the vessel calculation uses design temperature, not only room-temperature yield.
Do not quote 265 MPa yield on a 80 mm plate. Do not treat 410–530 MPa tensile as permission to stamp SA516 Grade 70 carbon steel plates or Q345R steel plate.

High-Temperature Pressure-Vessel Service
Buyers pick P265GH for boilers, drums, heat-exchanger shells and PED vessels that name EN 10028-2 carbon plate. It is the default European carbon grade when the drawing does not need P355GH strength and does not need Cr-Mo.
It is not a substitute for 16MnDR steel plate. That grade is GB/T 713.3 −40 °C plate. It is not a substitute for 06Ni9DR steel plate. That grade is 9Ni −196 °C plate.
An ASME file should name the SA/ASTM grade on ASTM A516 or ASME SA285 and then write extras. Dual marking is possible only when both books are met.
SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Weldability
P265GH is killed carbon vessel plate. Treat welding as production welding, and as PED / ASME Code welding when the equipment is a vessel.
Qualify to the applicable code. ASME dual-name work uses ASME Section IX. Consumables must match the 410–530 MPa tensile band. A Q345R steel plate procedure is not automatically valid. A Cr-Mo procedure written for 15CrMoR steel plate is the wrong family. 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 EN 10028-2 P265GH (+N). As-rolled is not the default for pressure work.
If the vessel will see PWHT, say so. Test coupons then follow a simulated cycle. Extra simulation, 3.2 hold points or special NDE add time. Plan about two months when those extras are on the order.
The certificate lists EN 10028-2 P265GH; 1.0425; heat number; cast analysis; product analysis when ordered; tensile to the correct thickness column; +N; impact when ordered; elevated-temperature values when ordered. Certificates may be EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2.
Dimensions
Usual supply range from SHH STEEL for P265GH high temp vessel plate:
- Thickness: commonly 6 mm – 150 mm, thicker by mill agreement
- Width: 1500 mm – 4000 mm
- Length: 3000 mm – 12000 mm
Ship plate inquiries belong on shipbuilding steel plates. Structural plate belongs on structural steel plates or EN 10025-2. Stainless inquiries belong on stainless steel products.
Tolerances
Dimensional limits follow EN 10028-1 and EN 10029 unless the order names another tolerance table. Do not apply ASTM A36/A36M structural tolerances to a PED vessel plate without writing them.
Supplementary Requirements
Charpy details. Temperature, energy, location and orientation. 0 °C / 27 J is common, not assumed.
Product analysis. Add this when the destination file wants finished-plate chemistry.
Elevated-temperature proof strength. Add this when the calculation uses design temperature.
Simulated PWHT. When the equipment will be stress-relieved.
NDE. EN 10160 or the named UT class.
Third-party. EN 10204 3.2 when written.

Why Choose SHH STEEL
SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin). On EN 10028-2 P265GH that means mill pricing, 1.0425 chemistry reported as cast analysis and as product analysis when ordered, recorded +N, tensile results to the correct thickness column, 3.1 as standard and 3.2 when specified.
We keep the grade on the order. P265GH is not P355GH. P265GH is not Q345R steel plate. P265GH is not SA516 Grade 70 carbon steel plates. If the drawing says P355GH, we will not ship P265GH and call carbon close.
