In the field of pressure vessel and boiler manufacturing, finding equivalent materials for ASME SA285 Gr A is important for global sourcing, cost savings, and meeting local standards.
ASME SA285 Gr A is a low-carbon steel plate for low-pressure vessels, with tensile 45-65 ksi and yield 24 ksi min.
At Gangsteel, we supply high-quality SA285 Gr A plates, and this guide lists its equivalents from different countries, helping you choose the right one for your project.
For the full ASTM A285/A285M steel plate range, which is similar to ASME SA285, check our stock.
You can find ASTM A 285 Grade A for low strength, ASTM A 285 Grade B for medium, or ASTM A 285 Grade C for higher.
To see astm a285 grade equivalent material like EN P235GH, visit our page on ASTM A285 Grade equivalent material.
ASME SA285 Gr A equivalents are chosen for similar low-carbon composition and properties, making them good for low-pressure tanks and boilers.
The main equivalent is ASTM A285 Grade A, which is the same material but under ASTM rules.
Other international equivalents include steels with low strength and good weld.
Key equivalents:
These match SA285 Gr A's low-strength profile for ambient services.
ASME SA285 Gr A has carbon 0.17% max, manganese 0.90 max, P/S 0.035 max, for easy welding.
Equivalents like P235GH (C: 0.16 max, Mn: 0.60-1.20) have lower carbon for better ductility but similar controls.
SPV235 (C: 0.18 max, Mn: 1.40 max) aligns closely.

Equivalents have slight differences but similar low impurities.
SA285 Gr A: Yield 24 ksi (165 MPa) min, tensile 45-65 ksi (310-450 MPa), elongation 30% min (50mm).
Equivalents like P235GH (yield 235 MPa, tensile 360-480 MPa, elongation 24% min) offer higher yield but overlapping tensile.
HI (DIN) (yield 235 MPa, tensile 360-480 MPa) matches for boiler use.
