EN10216-2 P235GH TC1 Heat Exchanger Tube

EN10216-2 P235GH TC1 TC2 Heat Exchanger Tube refers to a seamless steel tube designed for pressure applications.As the European standard for seamless steel tube for pressure purposes, it covers the technical delivery conditions for steel tube used in boilers, heat exchangers and piping systems. P235GH tube has a minimum specified yield strength of 235 MPa at room temperature and is suitable for high temperature gas environments

 

What is en 10216-2 P235GH Tc1 material?
EN 10216-2 P235GH is an European specified steel for use in boilers, heat exchangers and pressure vessels. It is heat-resistant non-alloy quality steel for application in steam boiler and pressure vessel construction. The application maximum temperature is approx. 400 °C.

 

Is P235GH Tc1 equivalent to ASTM material?

The equivalent ASTM material is A285 Grade C. P235GH plate is a European-designated steel primarily used in heat exchangers, boilers, and pressure vessels.

What technological tests are performed on TC1 tubes?

Standard TC1 testing includes:

Tensile Test: To verify strength.

Flattening Test: To ensure the tube doesn't crack under compression.

Drift Expanding Test: To check ductility by expanding the tube end.

Dimensional Inspection: Checking OD, wall thickness, and straightness.

Visual Inspection: Checking for surface defects.

 

Can P235GH be U-bent?

Yes. P235GH is very ductile and is frequently used for U-bundle heat exchangers. However, after U-bending, it is common practice (or required by code) to perform stress-relief heat treatment on the bend area to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
