What is BS EN 10217‑5 - Submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes about?
BS EN 10217 is a series of European standards on welded steel tubes that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes. BS EN 10217‑5 is the fifth part of a series of documents on welded steel tubes. BS EN 10217‑5 specifies technical delivery conditions for two test categories of submerged arc longitudinally (SAWL) or helically (SAWH) welded tubes of circular cross-section, with specified elevated temperature properties, made from non-alloy quality steel or alloy special steel.
NOTE: These tube grades are intended to support the essential requirements of EU Directive 2014/68/EU in respect of pressure equipment covered under all relevant categories as set out in Article 13 of that Directive.
Who is BS EN 10217‑5- Submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes for?
BS EN 10217‑5 on submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes are relevant to:
- Manufacturer of welded steel tubes
- Welder
- Mechanical engineer
- Manufacturer of pressure appliances
Why should you use BS EN 10217‑5- Submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes?
A welded stainless steel tube is produced through roll forming strips or sheets of stainless steel into a tube shape and then welding the seam longitudinally. Submerged-arc welding is a common arc welding process that involves the formation of an arc between a continuously fed electrode and the workpiece.
BS EN 10217‑5 navigates you through the manufacturing process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, non-destructive testing, weld seam, dimensions, tolerances, masses. BS EN 10217‑5 specify tests to be carried out for non-destructive testing (NDT) which helps you in inspecting, testing or evaluating materials, components for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part. BS EN 10217‑5 exemplifies the required mechanical property and chemical property that helps you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 10217‑5, you can be ensured of all the properties of submerged arc welded steel tubes. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10217‑5, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality submerged arc welded non-alloy and alloy steel tubes with specified elevated temperature properties. BS EN 10217‑5 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 10217‑5 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
