ASME SA 285 Gr C equivalent material

What is ASME SA 285 Gr C Equivalent Material

Finding the right equivalent material for ASME SA 285 Gr C is important if you work with pressure vessels or boilers. ASME SA 285 Gr C is a low-carbon steel plate used for low- and medium-pressure tanks.

It is easy to weld and not too strong, which makes it good for simple jobs.

At Gangsteel, we make and sell asme sa 285 grade c plates from China. This guide shows materials that are like SA 285 Gr C from different countries. They have similar mix of chemicals and strength for the same kind of work.

ASME SA 285 Gr C Equivalent Materials

ASME SA 285 Gr C equivalents are chosen because they have almost the same chemicals and strength. They are good for low-pressure vessels and boilers. The main equivalent is ASTM A285 Grade C, which is the same steel but under ASTM rules.

Other equivalents from around the world include:

• USA: ASTM A285 Grade C (same as SA 285 Gr C), ASTM A671 Gr. CB60 (for pipes made from A285 plates).
• EU: EN 10028-2 P235GH, a simple steel with yield 235 MPa for hot vessels.
• Germany: DIN 17155 HI, a boiler steel with tensile 360-480 MPa.
• Japan: JIS G3115 SPV235, good for welding and pressure boilers.
• UK: BS 1501 161-360A, similar for welded tanks.
• China: GB 713 Q245R, heat-safe for low pressure.
• Korea: KS D 3560 SPV235, matches for industry vessels.
• France: AFNOR A37CP, with same strength for welded tools.
• India: IS 2041 R220, boiler steel with low carbon.
• Australia: AS 1548-430R, for normalized vessels.

These materials work like SA 285 Gr C for ambient temps and non-bad fluids. For more on astm a 285 grade c, see our page. If you need astm a 285 grade a or astm a 285 grade b, we have those too.

Equivalent materials table for ASME SA 285 Gr C:

Chemical Composition Comparison

ASME SA 285 Gr C has carbon 0.24% max, manganese 0.90 max, P/S 0.035 max for good weld.

Equivalents like P235GH (C: 0.16 max, Mn: 0.60-1.20) have lower carbon but same low P/S.

HI (DIN) (C: 0.16 max, Mn: 0.40-0.80) is close for boiler use.

This makes them good swaps with small changes.

Mechanical Properties Comparison

SA 285 Gr C: Yield 30 ksi (205 MPa) min, tensile 55-75 ksi (380-515 MPa), stretch 27% min (50mm).

Equivalents like P235GH (yield 235 MPa, tensile 360-480 MPa, stretch 24% min) have higher yield but similar tensile.

SPV235 (yield 235 MPa, tensile 400-510 MPa) matches for low pressure.
