The comparison of boiler plate grades such as ASME SA516 is not an exact science and care must be taken when using a comparable or equivalent
grade to ensure that it delivers all the requirements in the engineering specification.
Weve tried to present the most common comparison grades below in a couple of different formats. The focus is mainly on American (ASTM and
ASME) and Euronorms (EN10028) grades.

ASME and ASTM grades are directly comparable and are often written A/SA 516 or SA/A 516 which is the same as A516 or SA516. ASTM (which is
derived from the American Society for Testing and Materials) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) work closely together and many
of their standards are harmonised.
For EN 10028 P indicates that it is a pressure grade steel. The number is the yield strength when the plate is less than 16mm thick.
N indicates room temperature quality,
NH steels are for elevated temperature,
NL1 steels are of low temperature quality and NL2 steel special low temperature quality.
GH steels are for elevated temperature working.
