What is BS EN 10216-4 - Non-alloy and alloy seamless steel tubes about?
BS EN 10216-4 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 seamless non-alloy and alloy steel tubes.
BS EN 10216-4 specifies the technical delivery conditions in two test categories for seamless tubes of circular cross-section, with specified low-temperature properties, made of non-alloy and alloy steel.
NOTE: Once this standard is published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under Directive 97/23/EC, the presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESR) of Directive 97/23/EC 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 10216-4- Non-alloy and alloy seamless steel tubes for?
BS EN 10216-1 on seamless non-alloy steel tubes is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of seamless non-alloy and alloy steel tubes
Why should you use BS EN 10216-4?
Seamless tubes are as defined they do not have a welded seam. The tubing is manufactured through an extrusion process where the tube is drawn from a solid stainless steel billet and extruded into a hollow form.
BS EN 10216-4 provides guidance on classification and designation, manufacturing process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, appearance, and internal soundness, dimensions, masses and tolerances, inspection.
BS EN 10216-4 specify tests to be carried out for inspection steel which helps you to maintain the quality of the tube. BS EN 10216-4 exemplifies the required mechanical property and chemical composition that helps you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 10216-4, you can be ensured of all the properties of a seamless tube. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10216-4, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality seamless non-alloy and alloy steel tubes with specified low-temperature properties. With BS EN 10216-4 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10216-4 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
