🟧 Product Overview

Q245R, Q345R, and Q370R are the primary pressure vessel steel grades under the Chinese GB 713 and GB 19189 standards. These steels are widely used in boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and industrial pressure systems requiring reliable elevated‑temperature performance.

• Q245R: General pressure vessel steel with good weldability
• Q345R: Higher strength for medium‑to‑high pressure applications
• Q370R: High‑strength grade for demanding pressure and temperature conditions

They are the most commonly used pressure vessel steels in China and are widely accepted in global projects.

🟧 Standards

• GB 713 – Steel Plates for Boilers and Pressure Vessels
• GB 19189 – High‑Strength Pressure Vessel Steel
• Related Standards: ASTM A516, ASTM A537, DIN 17155, EN 10028, JIS G3103
