P265GH equivalent grades: ASTM, EN, JIS, GB, DIN
P265GH is non-alloy steel for pressure purposes with elevated-temperature properties specified in EN 10028-2. Substitutes are collected here from 6 standard systems; the grading column says whether a certificate covers the swap or an engineer has to. The full P265GH data sheet carries the composition and mechanical tables.

P265GH and Q245R, IS 2002 Gr. 2, SB410 are the same steel under different national numbers; a single mill certificate covers both. A516 Gr. 60, A516 Gr. 65, A516 Grade 70 and 3 more differ by one requirement, which is a line on the order rather than a redesign. A285 Gr. C, 16Mo3, S275JR serve the same purpose without being the same steel, so a substitution there needs the design re-checked rather than the certificate. The cross-reference below covers 1 in GB/T (China), 1 in IS (India), 1 in JIS (Japan), 4 in ASTM / ASME, 4 in EN (European), 1 in GOST (Russia/CIS).
Cross-reference table
| Grade | System | Match | Why / differences |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q245R | GB/T (China) | Identical | GB/T 713 Q245R: yield 245 MPa, Rm 400–520 MPa, 31 J at 0 °C; C ≤ 0.20, Mn 0.50–1.10 — the Chinese boiler and pressure-vessel plate matching P265GH/HII. |
| IS 2002 Gr. 2 | IS (India) | Identical | IS 2002 Grade 2 pressure-vessel plate: yield 240 MPa, Rm 410–530 MPa. |
| SB410 | JIS (Japan) | Identical | JIS G3103 SB410 boiler plate: yield ≥ 225 MPa, Rm 410–550 MPa, C ≤ 0.24; SPV235 (G3115) is the pressure-vessel equivalent. |
| A516 Gr. 60 | ASTM / ASME | Near | ASTM A516 Grade 60 (SA-516-60): yield 220 MPa (32 ksi), Rm 415–550 MPa; C ≤ 0.21–0.27 by thickness, no elevated-temperature yield table (ASME Section II-D gives allowables). Closest US boiler-plate grade. |
| A516 Gr. 65 | ASTM / ASME | Near | Yield 240 MPa, Rm 450–585 MPa — slightly stronger than P265GH. |
| A516 Grade 70 | ASTM / ASME | Near | Yield 265 MPa, Rm 410–530 MPa — the EN grade most often substituted for A516-60/65; slightly weaker than Grade 70. |
| P235GH | EN (European) | Near | 1.0345 (ex HI): yield 235 MPa, Rm 360–480 MPa — the lower class; common for tubes. |
| P295GH | EN (European) | Near | 1.0481 (ex 17Mn4): yield 295 MPa, Rm 460–580 MPa. |
| 16K / 20K | GOST (Russia/CIS) | Near | GOST 5520 16K (yield 245, Rm 400–490) and 20K (yield 245, Rm 410–520): Russian boiler plates. |
| A285 Gr. C | ASTM / ASME | Functional | Yield 205 MPa, Rm 380–515 MPa; lower-quality pressure plate for low-pressure vessels. |
| 16Mo3 | EN (European) | Functional | Mo-alloyed step for service above 400–450 °C. |
| S275JR | EN (European) | Functional | Structural steel of similar strength without elevated-temperature or pressure-equipment certification (no PED compliance). |
Identical, near and functional are defined once on the grade index; the reason column below says which limit differs in each case.
