At Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter of stainless steel products, we supply premium ASTM A240 304H stainless steel plates, equivalent to ASME SA 240 GR 304H, compliant with both ASTM A240 and ASME SA 240 standards. ASTM A240 304H, also known as AISI 304H, UNS S30409, or 1.4948, is a high-carbon austenitic stainless steel designed for enhanced high-temperature strength and creep resistance up to 1500°F (815°C). This guide explains the equivalence between ASTM A240 304H and ASME SA 240, including specifications, properties, and applications for uses like plat stainless 304 and SA 240 GR 304 pipe. For inquiries, contact us at admin@gangsteel.com or explore our ASME SA240 Stainless sheet.
ASTM A240 304H and ASME SA 240 GR 304H are technically equivalent, with ASME SA 240 being the ASME adoption of ASTM A240 for use in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). Both cover chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel plates, sheets, and strips for pressure vessels and general corrosive service.
The equivalence means the materials share the same chemical composition, mechanical properties, and physical characteristics, but ASME SA 240 includes additional certification and testing requirements for pressure vessel applications. ASTM A240 304H is suitable for general use, while ASME SA 240 ensures compliance with BPVC for safety-critical components. Gangsteel's sa240 gr 304h plates meet both standards.
The chemical composition of ASTM A240 304H (equivalent to ASME SA 240 GR 304H) ensures high-temperature performance:

ASTM A240 304H (ASME SA 240 GR 304H) resists mild acids and atmospheric conditions, outperforming SS204 vs SS 304. Higher carbon risks sensitization in welds; anneal for protection. See sa240 gr 316l for chlorides.
Fair with ER308H fillers; low heat input (<2.0 kJ/mm) and annealing required. See sa240 gr 321.

Yes, ASME SA 240 GR 304H is the ASME adoption of ASTM A240 304H, with identical technical specifications; SA 240 adds BPVC certification for pressure vessels.
None; both share the same composition (0.04-0.10% C, 18-20% Cr, 8-10.5% Ni).
They are the same: tensile strength 515 MPa (75 ksi), yield strength 205 MPa (30 ksi), elongation 40%.
High-temperature pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers, where creep resistance is critical.
