Specify P265GH (1.0425) plate for boiler shells, steam equipment and welded pressure components. Source the required thickness, normalized condition and heat-specific documents together, with room-temperature and elevated-temperature properties checked to EN 10028-2.
Build the RFQ around the exact grade, geometry, delivery state and required inspection documents.
| Order item | Procurement / MTC requirement |
|---|---|
| Designation | P265GH (1.0425) — quote the material number and exact standard edition. |
| Material category | Non-alloy steel for pressure purposes with specified elevated-temperature properties; fabrication/design code remains project-specific. |
| Product form | Hot-rolled plate or cut plate supplied with specified flatness and edge conditions. |
| Thickness and size | Six EN Table 3 mechanical-property bands cover nominal thicknesses to 250 mm. Actual rolling sizes, lead time and availability require confirmation. |
| Dimensions and tolerances | Thickness × width × length, edge type, flatness, surface and tolerance standard stated on enquiry. |
| Delivery condition | Usually normalized (+N). Normalizing rolling or untreated delivery follows the standard and purchaser agreement as applicable. |
| Inspection documents | EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 when ordered and supported; agree the required witnessing and signatory route. |
| Additional tests | UT acceptance class, impact temperature, high-temperature tensile, HIC, simulated heat treatment and third-party requirements where specified. |
Use the row matching the ordered nominal thickness rather than quoting the 265 MPa minimum across all sizes.
| Nominal plate thickness | Min. yield ReH | Tensile Rm | Min. elongation A |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤16 mm | 265 MPa | 410–530 MPa | 22% |
| ＞16–40 mm | 255 MPa | 410–530 MPa | 22% |
| ＞40–60 mm | 245 MPa | 410–530 MPa | 22% |
| ＞60–100 mm | 215 MPa | 410–530 MPa | 22% |
| ＞100–150 mm | 200 MPa | 400–530 MPa | 22% |
| ＞150–250 mm | 185 MPa | 390–530 MPa | 22% |
This yield requirement applies to the first thickness band rather than every P265GH size.
The correct minimum yield and the measured test results should appear in the order and MTC.
Check availability, delivery condition and applicable product-inspection provisions before quoting heavy plate.
EN 10028-2:2017 Table 3, transverse test direction. Actual test specimens, thickness tolerances and results follow the applicable product and order requirements.
Verify the minimum proof stress for the actual plate thickness and design temperature before material acceptance.
| Nominal thickness | Rp0.2 at 100°C | Rp0.2 at 200°C | Rp0.2 at 300°C | Rp0.2 at 400°C |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ≤16 mm | 241 MPa | 205 MPa | 173 MPa | 150 MPa |
| ＞16–40 mm | 232 MPa | 197 MPa | 166 MPa | 145 MPa |
| ＞40–60 mm | 223 MPa | 190 MPa | 160 MPa | 139 MPa |
| ＞60–100 mm | 196 MPa | 167 MPa | 140 MPa | 122 MPa |
| ＞100–150 mm | 182 MPa | 155 MPa | 130 MPa | 114 MPa |
| ＞150–250 mm | 168 MPa | 143 MPa | 121 MPa | 105 MPa |
For the ≤16 mm band, the minimum 0.2% proof stress decreases from 241 MPa at 100°C to 150 MPa at 400°C. Use the temperature that matches your design specification.
Table 4 values are material proof-stress requirements, not vessel allowable stresses. Determine design stress, corrosion allowance, operating life and code acceptance through the equipment designer.

Request the actual heat chemistry and carbon equivalent when required by the project. EN 10028-2 permits an agreed maximum carbon equivalent for P265GH; it must be set at the enquiry stage.
The standard lists several test temperatures; the purchase order and design code must identify which testing and reports are needed.
The transverse Charpy V-notch value at +20°C is 40 J in EN 10028-2 Table 3. Use the specified test route and specimen rules.
EN 10028-2 also provides a transverse 34 J figure at 0°C. Confirm whether testing at this temperature is required for your equipment.
The table provides a transverse value of 27 J at −20°C. State the specified acceptance temperature, direction and witness requirements in the order.

P265GH (1.0425) is a non-alloy EN 10028-2 pressure-purpose steel grade with specified elevated-temperature properties, used in code-approved boilers and welded pressure equipment.
EN 10028-2 specifies 265 MPa for thicknesses up to 16 mm. The required minimum decreases with thickness, reaching 185 MPa above 150 mm up to 250 mm.
For plate up to 16 mm, EN 10028-2 Table 4 gives minimum Rp0.2 of 205 MPa at 200°C. At room temperature the minimum yield ReH is 265 MPa for that thickness band.
The usual condition is normalized (+N). Normalizing rolling may replace normalizing under the standard; untreated supply requires agreement and prescribed test conditions.
The EN table lists transverse values of 40 J at +20°C, 34 J at 0°C and 27 J at −20°C. Confirm the contracted impact test temperature, specimen size and acceptance route.
No. The certificates involve different inspection and endorsement arrangements. Specify the required document and independent witness scope during the enquiry.
No. That is characteristic of 16Mo3. EN 10028-2 lists a maximum 0.08% Mo cast-analysis limit for P265GH.
