A pressure vessel steel grade with good weldability and high resistance to brittle cracking, P355NH is used by the world's fabricators for the manufacture of pressure vessel tanks for the storage of pressurised gases.
Other grade types include...
- NL1 – is ideal for use in low temperatures
- NL2 – is ideal for use in especially low temperatures
Please refer to the data tables below for more information.
