What is BS EN 10028-2 - Non-alloy and alloy steels about?
BS EN 10028 is a series of European standards on flat products made of steel for pressure purposes that discusses the best procedures and specifications on manufacturing high-quality non-alloy and alloy steels sheets and plates for the construction of safe pressure equipment. BS EN 10028-2 is the second part of a series of documents on flat products made of steel for pressure purposes. BS EN 10028-2 specifies requirements for flat products for pressure equipment made of weldable non-alloy and alloy steels with elevated temperature properties. The requirements and definitions of EN 10028-1:2017 also apply.
NOTE: Once this European Standard is published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) under Directive 2014/68/EU, the presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 2014/68/EU is limited to technical data of materials in this European Standard (Part 1 and this Part 2 of the series) and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical data stated in this material standard against the design requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 2014/68/EU are satisfied, needs to be done.
Who is BS EN 10028-2 - Non-alloy and alloy steels for?
BS EN 10028-2 on flat products made of steels for pressure purposes is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of non-alloy and alloy steels products
- Manufacturer of pressure appliance
Why should you use BS EN 10028-2- Non-alloy and alloy steels?
Alloy steel is a type of steel that includes iron, carbon, and some other elements in its chemical composition. The main difference between alloy and non-alloy steel is that alloy steel is composed of iron added with other elements during smelting whereas non-alloy steel has no added elements when it is smelted.
BS EN 10028-2 provides guidance on tolerances on dimensions, classification of the steel grades, calculation of mass, chemical properties, mechanical properties, test methods.
BS EN 10028-2 exemplifies the required chemical composition and mechanical properties that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification.
As a user of BS EN 10028-2, you can be ensured of all the requirements for flat products made of non-alloy and alloy steels for pressure purposes. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10028-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality flat products for pressure equipment made of weldable non-alloy and alloy steels with elevated temperature properties. With BS EN 10028-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10028-2 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
