Referred to as pressure and boiler vessel material, steel grade P235GH is well suited for use in elevated temperature applications. Pipes produced under standard EN10216-1 are a part of pressure systems. Hence, these components are able to perform well in both high pressure as well as high temperature applications. Industries such as the oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical industry prefer the use of EN10216-2 pipe dimesions as these sectors have highly demanding operations.
Usually, the conveyance of media across distilleries or refineries calls for high quality produced EN10216-2 P265GH equivalent because they undergo several stresses including viscosity of the media being passed or even the speed of the flow. The EN10216-2 P235GH is a grade that has several designations like the letters P, G and H, all of which provide the characteristic description of the pipe. While the letter P means the pipe is meant for pressure purposes, the letter H indicates it is a hollow section or hollow profile and lastly the letter G suggests general characteristics. The number 235 simply states the minimum yield strength of the EN10216-2 P265GH in N/mm2. These steel grades are available in two qualities TR 1& TR 2. Steel tubes intended for use in ambient temperature settings are referred to as EN10216-2 P235GH TC1 quality. Generally steel pipes belonging to quality TR 1 are a part of systems that are useful to ferry across media.
