EN 10028-2 is the European steel standard which includes chrome moly plate for pressure vessel purposes.Moreover the standard covers "Non-alloy and alloy steels with specified elevated temperature properties". The standard was published in the year 2009.
What is P265GH material? EN 10028-2 P265GH steel is the Heat Resistant Pressure Vessel Steels defined in the EN 10028 system. It is a non-alloy steel. The material is designed for high temperature applications. Therefore it is mostly utilized in high temperature applications in the oil and gas sector, chemical processing industries and petrochemical sectors.
