EN 10219/S235 Welded Steel Pipe Product Overview
EN 10219 S235 Welded Pipes are cold-formed, high-ductility carbon steel tubes ideal for water infrastructure, agricultural irrigation, and lightweight structural frameworks. With sub-grades like S235JRH (1.0036) and S275J2H (1.0143), these pipes deliver 235–510 MPa tensile strength while meeting EN 10219-2 standards for ±0.5% ovality and ISO 9013 weld integrity. Designed as a budget-friendly alternative to seamless EN 10210 pipes, they reduce material costs by 15–20% in non-cyclic load applications.
