Material S355 Meaning (Designation)
The following letters and numbers explains steel grade S355 meaning:
- “S” is the abbreviation of “Structural steel”;
- “355” indicates the minimum yield strength value for the flat and long steel thickness ≤ 16mm;
- “JR” means the impact energy value is minimum 27 J at room temperature (20°C);
- “J0” indicates the steel can withstand the impact energy at least 27 J at 0°C;
- “J2” denotes the minimum impact energy value is 27 J at -20°C;
- “K2” denotes the minimum impact energy value is 40 J at -20°C.
- J4: minimum 27J at -40 °C
- J5: minimum 27J at -50 °C
- M: Thermomechanically rolled
- N: Normalized or normalized rolled
- L: Low temperature
- W: Weather resistant
- C: Special cold forming
- H: Hollow section
- G: Other characteristics, if required, with 1 or 2 digits.
- P: Sheet piling
- P (EN 10025-5): For the grade with a greater phosphorus content (only in the case of S355 grade)
- D: Hot dip coating
- +Z: Hot dip zinc (galvanized) coating

Can you tell me the difference between S355 and E355 grade.
Sir,
Q355B grade angle steel plate is equivalent for S355G3+N steel plate and can be used for wall module restoration of fixed oil platform.
Can you tell me S355J2+N is equivalent to S355G7?
hi have different grade plate for S355KT-40 with S355K2 ?
Dear Export,
what is the difference between S355G1, G2 G3 & G11
