What is BS EN 10216‑2 about?
BS EN 10216‑2 is a series of European standards on seamless steel tubes for pressure purposes that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality non-alloy and alloy seamless steel tubes. BS EN 10210-2 is the second part of a series of documents on seamless steel tubes. BS EN 10216‑2 specifies the technical delivery conditions in two test categories for seamless tubes of circular cross-section, with specified elevated temperature properties, made of non-alloy and alloy steel.
This Part of EN 10216 may also be applied for tubes of non-circular cross-section; necessary.
The modification should be agreed upon at the time of inquiry and order.
NOTE: Once this standard is published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under Directive 2014/68/EU, the presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESR) of Directive 2014/68/EU is limited to technical data of materials in this standard 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 the Pressure Equipment Directive are satisfied needs to be done by the designer or manufacturer of the pressure equipment, taking also into account the subsequent manufacturing processes which may affect properties of the base materials.
Who is BS EN 10216‑2 for?
BS EN 10216‑2 on non-alloy and alloy steel seamless tube is relevant to:
- Seamless tube manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure appliance
Why should you use BS EN 10216‑2?
A seamless tube is a tube that does not have any welding seam. The seamless tube will ideally be a solid metal tube with each end connected to another tube without having any welding joint. These tubes have threads either at one end or at both ends and can be threaded to the end of another hollow tube or pipe.
BS EN 10216‑2 provides guidance on the manufacturing process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface properties, dimensions, tolerances on dimensions, shape, and mass of seamless tube. BS EN 10216‑2 specify tests to be carried out for inspection steel which helps you to maintain the quality of the tube. BS EN 10216‑2 exemplifies the required heat treatment conditions, mechanical property, and chemical property that helps you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 10216‑2, you can be ensured of all the properties of a seamless tube. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10216‑2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality non-alloy and alloy steel seamless tubes of circular cross-section, with specified elevated temperature properties. BS EN 10216‑2 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 10216‑2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
