BS EN 10208-1:2009 Steel pipes for pipelines for combustible fluids. Technical delivery conditions. Pipes of requirement class A
BS EN 10208-1 is the European standard that specifies the technical delivery conditions for seamless and welded steel pipes for the on land transport of combustible fluids primarily in gas supply systems but excluding pipeline applications in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It includes less stringent quality and testing requirements than those in BS EN 10208-2.
Steel pipes for pipeline transportation systems within the petroleum and natural gas industries are covered by ISO 3183. BS EN 10208-1 specifies products with the same (and additional) strength levels and partly similar (but not identical) requirements as BS EN 10208-1 and BS EN 10208-2.
Additional annexes specify deviating or additional requirements and covert non-destructive testing, including treatment of imperfections and defects disclosed by visual examination, and specification of welded jointers.
BS EN 10208-1 does not apply to cast steel pipe.
