What is BS EN 10028‑4 - Nickel alloy steel 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 sheets and plates from nickel alloy steels for the construction of safe pressure equipment. BS EN 10028-4 is the fourth part of a series of documents on flat products made of steel for pressure purposes.
BS EN 10028‑4 specifies requirements for flat products for pressure equipment made of nickel alloy steels.
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 the other relevant part 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 10028‑4 - Nickel alloy steel for?
BS EN 10028-4 on flat products made of steels for pressure purposes is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of nickel alloy steels products
- Manufacturer of pressure appliance
Why should you use BS EN 10028‑4- Nickel alloy steel?
Nickel alloy steels are used for making storage cylinders for liquefied gases and other low-temperature applications. Nickel steel alloy is used for heavy forgings, turbine blades, highly stressed screws, bolts, and nuts. It is used for making shafts, gears, propeller shafts, and keys.
BS EN 10028‑4 navigates you through the tolerances on dimensions, classification, and designation, steelmaking process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface condition, internal soundness, test methods.
BS EN 10028-4 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 10028-4, you can be ensured of all the requirements for flat products made of nickel alloy steels for pressure purposes. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10028-4, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality flat products for pressure equipment made of nickel alloy steels with specified low-temperature properties. With BS EN 10028-4 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10028-4 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 10028‑4:2017 supersedes BS EN 10028‑4:2009, which is withdrawn.
