Steel grade designation
Most common steel equivalence table
Generally encountered in construction
The equivalence tables have been compiled from old national standards to compare most common steel grades;
Each of the tables corresponds to a steel category:
1 - Steels for metal and mechanical construction.
2 - Steels for boilers and pressure vessels.
3 - Special steels for heat treatment.
4 - Stainless and refractory steels.
Each table gives the equivalent steel grades for Germany, United Kingdom, United States, Italy, Sweden, Japan, and Spain.
At the publishing date of this guide, the Standardisation of Steels is in full evolution; it is therefore difficult to place in
equivalence the EN standards (published up to now), with the national standards taken in reference beings that some of them
will disappear.
Steels for metallic and mechanical construction
The cross references are given for information only, since the standard descriptions are not all totally equivalent.
