P245NB Gas Cylinder Steel Sheets & Coils

P245NB steel is specifically engineered for manufacturing safe, reliable welded gas cylinders. While primarily used for LPG cylinders, it is equally suitable for industrial and medical gas containers. The grade offers an essential combination of excellent deep drawability, enabling complex shaping, and superior weldability for creating high-strength seams.
Thickness: 2.0-5.0mm
Width: 1000mm to 2070mm
The above are typical specifications. We can provide customized size cutting services according to your specific cylinder design requirements.

Product Application

P245NB steel sheet and coil, is specifically engineered for manufacturing safe and reliable welded pressure vessels. Its superior deep drawability and excellent weldability make it the preferred material for a wide range of gas containment solutions.

LPG Cylinders

The primary and most extensive application. It is the standard material for manufacturing domestic, commercial, and industrial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, ensuring safety and durability for global energy supply.

Industrial Gas Cylinders

Widely used for producing cylinders that store and transport common industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen, meeting the demands of manufacturing, metalworking, and chemical sectors.

Medical Gas Cylinders

Employed in the fabrication of portable cylinders for medical oxygen and other breathing mixtures.

Fire Extinguishers

Ideal for the cylindrical bodies of portable fire extinguishers, where structural integrity and pressure resistance are paramount for safety devices.

Beverage & Food Grade CO₂ Cylinders

Suitable for cylinders used to store carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the food and beverage industry, supporting carbonation processes for soft drinks and draft beer systems.

Specialty & Calibration Gases

Used for cylinders containing high-purity or specialty gas mixtures required in laboratory analysis, environmental monitoring, and instrument calibration.

01
What is the main application of P245NB?
Its primary and most common application is in the production of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders. It is also perfectly suitable for cylinders of industrial gases (oxygen, nitrogen), medical gases, and other welded pressure vessels.
02
Can you provide material certification?
Yes. We supply material with full traceability and can provide standard EN 10204 3.1 Mill Certificates. Third-party inspection and certification issuance are acceptable and will be assisted with upon the customer's request.
03
What is the standard packaging and what is the MOQ?
The steel is securely packed in wrapped and strapped bundles or on wooden pallets for safe ocean freight. The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is typically one standard bundle or pallet, but we offer flexible terms. Please contact us for details based on your specific size requirements.
04
What surface condition is available?
The material can be supplied as-rolled, but for optimal corrosion protection during transit and storage, we recommend and primarily supply in a pickled and oiled (P&O) surface condition.
