EN 1.0112 High Manganese Pressure Vessel Carbon Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: # **Technical Datasheet: EN 1.0112 (P235GH) High Manganese Pressure Vessel Carbon Steel** ## **1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW** **EN 1.0112**, commercially designated **P235GH**, is a **manganese-enhanced, fine-grained carbon steel** specifically engineered for **pressure vessel and boiler applications** at elevated temperatures. Classified under the European pressure equipment standard EN 10028-2, this grade represents the fundamental material choice for welded pressure components operating at **moderate temperatures up to 350°C**. The designation "P" indicates pressure purpose, "235" specifies the minimum yield strength in MPa at room temperature, and "GH" denotes suitability for elevated temperature service (G for gases, H for high temperature). Unlike general structural steels, P235GH undergoes **strict manufacturing controls** including fine-grain practice, enhanced non-destructive testing, and guaranteed elevated temperature properties. Its optimized **manganese-to-carbon ratio** (typically 3.5:1 to 5:1) provides improved strength and notch toughness compared to plain carbon steels, while maintaining excellent weldability and formability essential for pressure equipment fabrication. **Key Characteristics:** - **Pressure Equipment Certified:** Manufactured and tested per EN 10028-2 for pressure applications - **Elevated Temperature Performance:** Guaranteed minimum yield strength up to 350°C - **Enhanced Toughness:** Fine-grained structure with improved impact properties - **Superior Weldability:** Optimized chemistry for pressure vessel welding - **Strict Quality Controls:** Mandatory ultrasonic testing and enhanced inspection --- ## **2.
