Equivalence between S355J2H steel and an ASME or ASTM steel
Equivalence between S355J2H steel and an ASME or ASTM steel
(OP)
Good night friends,
I am writing to you because I can not find an equivalence between the s355J2H steel and a steel classified in Section II part D of the ASME code. My client asks for this steel and I need the ASME codification "SA - XXX" or if not...one with similar features.
The material is to build a water pressure vessel.
Thanks,

As I dont regularly deal with steel plates for pressure purposes, Google told me that S355 equals ASTM A572 gr 50. To verify this you'd have to check both EN and ASTM specifications. Since you havent listed the relevant EN specification (which I assume is EN 10210 or EN 10219), you need to provide more info. Also, Im not sure if the additional features J2H are covered in the ASTM spec you are looking for. For example, A572 is for plates, whereas you're looking for a tubular porduct. You can rool a tube from plate, but you may then be better of with another ASTM standard. It all depends on your application, which you havent listed, so in order to provide a more detailed answer, more details are required.
PS: please bear in mind that specifying any steel grade always requires to also include the standard that details the product form, e.g. EN 10025-3 S355NL or ASTM A182 F316.

My client asks me to design an autoclave at 150 bars (internal pressure) and he is obsessed with this material (S355J2H). The autoclave will work with fresh water between 4ºC and 40ºC (winter and summer local temperatures). He wants this steel because he doesn't want too much welding on the device. So, I ask if, in general, ASME allows to use other steels not listed in ASME section II-D and with what safety factors.
Thanks!

Will remove post.

The application will be an "autoclave", with internal pressure.
But is strange that ASME does not include a security factors for steels of other recognized standards (for example from E.U)...
Anyway I have done simulations with finite element programs (ANSYS) and the device works perfectly. So... I would like to know if is possible to certify this device even though the material is not from ASME standards.
Again, thank you very much!

So, if you are committed to using this EU steel (S355J2H), then it would likely make sense to use an EU code. Take a look at the AD Merkblatter code...

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

You would need a PMA of coarse. Although i would strongly recommand a P material as suggested. I don't think AD2000 supports FEM though. Normaly your NOtified body shall refuse the use of S355 as well unless...
