ASTM A335 Pipe (ASME S/A335, Chrome-Moly) is a seamless ferritic Alloy-Steel Pipe for high-temperature service.
P265GH seamless carbon steel tubes are a type of alloy steel tube used in a variety of industries, including power generation, petrochemicals, and chemicals.
EN 10216-2 P265GH is a specification for seamless carbon steel tubes primarily used in the manufacturing of pressure equipment. This material grade is known for its high strength and resistance to various pressures and temperatures. It is often used in industries like power generation, chemical, petrochemical, and boiler installations.
The "P" indicates that it is a pressure vessel steel grade, while "265" refers to the minimum yield strength of the material (265 MPa). "GH" indicates that the material is suitable for elevated temperature service.
EN 10216-2 is a European standard that specifies the technical delivery conditions for seamless non-alloy and alloy steel tubes for pressure purposes with specified elevated temperature properties.
The tubes are used in oil refineries, steam pipelines, power plants, and other projects. They are also used in the automobile, architectural, and oil and gas industries.
The tubes are varnished to prevent rust. They are hot-rolled and have a round cross section. The surface treatment is black paint or oiled. The tubes have a minimum tensile strength of 450 MPa. The yield strength is at least 280 MPa, and the elongation is at least 22%.
The tubes are available in diameters ranging from 10.2–711 mm and wall thicknesses ranging from 1.6–100 mm. The lengths are 5.8 m, 6 m, 11.8 m, or random.

It is important that the purchaser, at the time of enquiry and order, takes in account the requirements of the relevant national legal regulations for the intended application.
Steel is common called carbon steel because of the mixture of carbon atoms with iron atoms. The added elements provide the steel with ductility and strength. During the smelting process, other elements, such as aluminum is added to the steel making it an alloy steel. Non-alloy steel has no elements added to the steel as it is smelted.
The manufacturing of steel is done by placing ore in a furnace a smelting the ore. The smelting process removes any impurities in the iron ore. Once the first smelting process is performed, the steel still has too much carbon content to become non-alloy steel. The smelting process is performed again and again until the carbon content in the ore falls below 1.5 percent of the total content.
The smelting process melts the iron ore. By melting the ore, the extraction of elements and impurities can be accomplished. The manufacturer only wants the iron and a small amount of carbon from the ore to make non-alloy steel. During the smelting process, elements get added to the ore such as cobalt, copper and aluminum, which makes the steel an alloy steel. Non-alloy steel has no other elements added to the iron and carbon during the smelting process.
The non-alloy steel must be tempered at a certain temperature because it does not use other elements to make it flexible and durable. Tempering non-alloy steel at a certain temperature make the steel more sensitive to cracking when being welded.

| Annealed | GBK | After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
| Normalized | NBK | The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |

Alloy steels are made by combining carbon steel with one or several alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum. These metals are added to produce specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel. The elements are added in varying proportions (or combinations) making the material take on different aspects such as increased hardness, increased corrosion resistance, increased strength, improved formability (ductility); the weldability can also change.
