P295GH Pressure Vessel Steel Plate

A steel which is ideal for use in elevated working temperatures, grade P295GH is used in the fabrication of industrial pressure vessels and boilers. It is an EN10028 specified grade which governs steels used in pressurized service.

P295GH steel gives optimum performance for pressurized products that must support a creep limit greater than 155N/mm2 at 400ºC. It is a normalized steel and has excellent welding characteristics. It is used worldwide by fabricators serving the oil and gas industry and can be found in heat exchangers, weldable pressure vessels and boilers and pipework.

EN 10028 Part 2 & 3 is the euro norm specification for flat steel products intended for use in pressurized service. The specification covers non–alloy and alloys steels as well as weldable fine grain steels.
EN 10028 sets standards for steel used in weldable industrial boilers and pressure vessels. The specification has the same status of the old DIN and BS Standards which EN 10028 has now superseded.

Gnee Steel offer EN 10028 specified boiler and pressure vessel quality steel from stock which is in most cases of  China Origin – this is known for its superior quality. Our carbon steel plates come with mill certification and are stamped to provide full traceability. Alternatively, the customer can arrange testing via a third party testing house.
