EN 10216-2 is a direct European equivalent to other well-known pressure tube standards:
Region: European Union
Process: Seamless
Service: Pressure, Elevated Temp
Common Grades: P235GH, P265GH, 16Mo3
Key Difference: Comprehensive elevated temp data, PED compliance.
Region: USA / International
Process: Seamless
Service: Pressure, Elevated Temp
Common Grades: Grade A, B, C
Key Difference: Focuses on room temp and basic elevated temp props. Specifically for ferritic alloy steels for high-temp.
Region: USA / International
Process: Seamless
Service: High-Temperature Service
Common Grades: P5, P9, P11, P22, P91
Key Difference: Specifically for ferritic alloy steels for high-temp.
Hot-rolled;
Cold-drawn;
Normalized or normalized + tempered (for TC2).
Plain end;
Bevel end;
Threaded connection (with socket or cap).
Hydrostatic test;
Eddy current test (ECT);
Ultrasonic test (UT);
Infrared or magnetic particle test (as per project requirements).
Rust-preventive oil;
Black paint / Color paint;
Anti-corrosion coating (temporary or export grade).
EN 10216-2 seamless boiler tubes are widely used in:
Thermal power plant boilers
Residual heat boilers (HRSG)
Superheater and reheater tubes
High-temperature steam transmission pipelines
High-temperature heat exchangers
These devices typically operate in high-temperature environments of 400–580°C for extended periods.
16Mo3 contains a suitable amount of molybdenum (Mo), which, compared to ordinary carbon steel:
More stable high-temperature strength
Better creep resistance
Stronger resistance to hydrogen corrosion
Therefore, it is very suitable for boiler piping systems operating at temperatures above 450°C for extended periods.
TC1: Basic inspection level
TC2: Enhanced inspection level (recommended)
TC2 requires: more stringent chemical and mechanical testing, impact testing, and a complete MTC 3.1 document. Most boiler and power plant EPC projects specify TC2.
