Steel Standart

S355JR equivalent grades: ASTM, EN, JIS, GB, DIN

S355JR is non-alloy hot-rolled structural steel specified in EN 10025-2. Substitutes are collected here from 7 standard systems; the grading column says whether a certificate covers the swap or an engineer has to. The full S355JR data sheet carries the composition and mechanical tables.

A572 Grade 50, A992, St52-3 and 6 more differ by one requirement, which is a line on the order rather than a redesign. Functionally interchangeable, S275JR, S350GD serve a different route to the same duty — check the design, not the analysis. The cross-reference below covers 2 in ASTM / ASME, 1 in DIN (superseded German), 3 in EN (European), 2 in GB/T (China), 1 in GOST (Russia/CIS), 1 in IS (India), 1 in JIS (Japan).

Identical, near and functional are defined once on the grade index; the reason column below says which limit differs in each case.
