A1085 vs S355J2H

United States ASTM A1085/A1085M · Steel

A1085

US HSS with a yield cap: 50–70 ksi (345–483 MPa), 65 ksi (450 MPa) tensile, same for round and shaped.

Europe EN 10219-1 · Steel

S355J2H

Cold-formed welded hollow sections (SHS, RHS, CHS): 355 MPa yield, 470–630 MPa tensile, 27 J at −20 °C.

Approximate345 MPa (50 ksi) yield with a 70 ksi cap, 450 MPa tensile, tighter wall tolerance; designed for seismic and full-thickness design.
