ASME SA 283 Gr C is a low-carbon steel plate with moderate tensile strength of 55-75 ksi (380-515 MPa), commonly used for pressure vessels and structural applications due to its good weldability and formability. Its equivalent in the EN standard is EN 10025-2 S235JR, a non-alloy structural steel with similar chemical composition and mechanical properties for general construction. As a leading Chinese manufacturer and exporter, Gangsteel produces high-quality sa 283 grade c steel plate under asme sa 283/sa 283m, offering reliable equivalents to EN S235JR for global projects in construction and fabrication.

 

Overview of ASME SA 283 Gr C and EN 10025-2 S235JR

ASME SA 283 Gr C is part of the ASME SA 283 specification for low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates, suitable for welded pressure vessels and structural components where moderate strength is required. EN 10025-2 S235JR is a European standard for hot-rolled structural steel, used in similar applications like buildings and bridges, with good impact resistance. Both are low-carbon steels, making them interchangeable in many non-critical structural projects. Gangsteel's sa 283 grade c steel plate matches these properties, complementing grades like sa 283 grade a steel plate, sa 283 grade b steel plate, and sa 283 grade d steel plate for versatile use.

Mechanical Properties and Testing

SA 283 Gr C has a minimum yield of 30 ksi (205 MPa) and tensile of 55-75 ksi (380-515 MPa), while S235JR offers 34 ksi (235 MPa) yield and 52-74 ksi (360-510 MPa) tensile. Both require tensile testing, with S235JR including impact tests. Gangsteel's asme sa 283/sa 283m plates meet these through quality assurance.

 

Applications and Interchangeability

Both are used in structural components with good corrosion resistance and are interchangeable in moderate-strength projects. Gangsteel's sa 283 grade c steel plate supports this with certifications.
