Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10025-2 E295 (EN 10025-2:2019) and CSA G40.21 260W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
EN 10025-2 E295 is typically used for hot rolled products of structural steels, while CSA G40.21 260W is commonly used for bridges, buildings, general structural fabrication, storage tanks, older infrastructure projects..
EN 10025-2 E295 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while CSA G40.21 260W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada.
As per chemical composition, EN 10025-2 E295 vs CSA G40.21 260W is a 79.3% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 30%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
