  • ASTM A572 Gr 50 is versatile but may need testing for cold use.

Gangsteel provides tested plates for reliable performance.

 

astm equivalent of en 10025 2 s355jr Applications and Substitution Considerations

 

EN 10025-2 S355JR is used in construction (bridges), offshore (platforms), and machinery (cranes). Its ASTM equivalent A572 Gr 50 substitutes for:

  • High-rise buildings and heavy bridges.
  • Wind turbines and moderate-cold machinery.

Substitution considerations:

  • Standards Compliance: EN for Europe, ASTM for US.
  • Toughness: EN has impact testing; ASTM may not.
  • Cost/Availability: ASTM in US, EN in Europe; Gangsteel bridges this.

For low-temperature, check EN 10025-2 S355J2 steel or EN 10025-2 S355K2 steel.
