Grade P250GH is a normalized, hot‑rolled boiler/pressure‑vessel steel engineered for elevated‑temperature service (suitable for many applications up to about 450 °C). It is supplied primarily as hot‑rolled rods/bars and is commonly used for parts and subassemblies of pressure equipment where good strength, ductility and impact resistance at moderate elevated temperatures are required.
Key features
- Designed for pressure‑equipment components exposed to elevated temperatures (up to ~450 °C)
- Supplied mainly as normalized, hot‑rolled rods/bars
- Good combination of tensile strength, yield strength and ductility
- Suitable for manufacturing bolts, nuts, flanges, pipe joints and other pressure‑vessel parts
Typical mechanical properties (by cross‑section / diameter)

Availability and supply form
- Typically offered as hot‑rolled rods/bars in a range of diameters (as indicated above)
- Supplied in the normalized condition to stabilize mechanical properties for elevated‑temperature use
Applications
- Pressure vessel components and shells
- Flanges, bolts and nuts for high‑temperature service
- Pipe fittings and joints for boilers and power equipment
- Other structural parts in steam, power and process equipment where elevated‑temperature strength and toughness are required
Inspection & documentation
- Buyers should request mill test certificates (chemical and mechanical), heat treatment records and any required nondestructive test reports to verify material conformity for pressure‑equipment applications.
