Strong Match — 91.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A240/A240M S30400 (ASTM A240/A240M:2025) and EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 (EN 10088-1:2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A240/A240M S30400 is typically used for pressure vessels and general applications (plate, sheet and strip), while EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 is commonly used for food, chemical, architectural applications.
ASTM A240/A240M S30400 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A240/A240M S30400 vs EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 is a 91.5% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 91.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
