What is BS EN 10213 - Steel castings about?
BS EN 10213 is a European standard on steel castings for pressure purposes that discusses the best procedures and specifications on manufacturing high-quality steel castings. BS EN 10213 applies to steel castings for pressure-containing parts. It includes materials that are used for the manufacture of components, for pressure equipment.
BS EN 10213 relates to castings characterized by their chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Note: In cases where castings are joined by welding by the founder, BS EN 10213 applies.
In cases where castings are welded:
- To wrought products (plates, tubes, forgings)
- By non-founders
BS EN 10213 does not apply.
Who is BS EN 10213 - Steel castings for?
BS EN 10213 on steel castings for pressure purposes is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of steel castings
- Manufacturer of pressure appliance
Why should you use BS EN 10213 - Steel castings?
Cast steel is a ferrous alloy with a maximum carbon content of approximately 0.75%. Steel castings are solid metal objects produced by filling the void within a mold with liquid steel. They are available in many of the same carbon and alloy steels that can be produced as wrought metals.
BS EN 10213 navigates you through the manufacturing process, welding operations, casting, corrosion behavior, materials, inspection methods.
BS EN 10213 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 10213, you can be ensured of all the requirements for casting steel. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10213, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality steel castings for pressure-containing parts. With BS EN 10213 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10213 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
