What is BS EN 10111 - Continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip about?
BS EN 10111 is a European standard steel sheet and strip that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheets and strips.
BS EN 10111 specifies the grades of continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip (in coils) for cold forming. Depending on its actual width, the strip is classified as:
- Hot rolled wide strip if its width is greater than or equal to 600 mm;
- Hot-rolled slit wide strip if its width is less than 600 mm.
For each grade, it specifies the chemical composition and the mechanical properties.
BS EN 10111 applies to products of thickness not less than 1,0 mm and not exceeding 11 mm. BS EN 10111 does not apply to products covered by other standards, such as:
- Hot rolled products of non-alloy structural steels for general use (see EN 10025 all parts)
- Steel sheet for pressure purposes (see EN 10028 for all parts)
- Steel sheet for welded gas cylinders (see EN 10120)
- Quenched and tempered steels (see EN 10083-1 and EN 10083-2)
Who is BS EN 10111 - Continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip for?
BS EN 10111 on continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip
