EN10216-2 P235GH Carbon Steel Seamless U Bend Tube For Heat Exchanger
The EN 10216-2 P235GH tube refers to a European standard for seamless steel tubes used in pressure purposes. Specifically, it is designed for high-temperature applications, such as power generation, oil and gas refining, and chemical industries. The "P" stands for "Pressure" and "235" represents the minimum yield strength in megapascals (MPa). The "GH" indicates that it is suitable for elevated temperatures.
