    Product Details

    EN 10207 is a European standard outlining the specifications for steel used in simple pressure vessels. These vessels, defined as welded containers designed to withstand internal pressure exceeding 0.5 bar and intended for air or nitrogen (excluding fired pressure vessels), require robust materials.

    EN 10207 P265S falls under this category, boasting a minimum yield strength of 265 MPa (265 N/mm²). This high strength steel plate also possesses specific mechanical properties for elevated temperatures and is delivered in a normalised condition or an equivalent achieved through normalised rolling.
