Compare / A500 Grade C vs S355J2H (EN 10210, hot finished)
A500 Grade C vs S355J2H (EN 10210, hot finished)
ASTM A500/A500M · Steel
The usual US HSS grade: 50 ksi (345 MPa) yield shaped, 46 ksi (315 MPa) round, 62 ksi (425 MPa) tensile.
EN 10210 · Steel
Hot finished hollow sections: 355 MPa yield up to 16 mm, 470–630 MPa tensile — and fu = 490 MPa in design, not the 510 MPa of cold-formed EN 10219 sections.

Rows are matched by condition (thickness band, temperature, product form). A dash means the grade has no sourced value for that condition. Differences are S355J2H (EN 10210, hot finished) relative to A500 Grade C; for ranges the lower bound is compared.
