What is BS EN 10219-2- Welded steel structural hollow sections about?
BS EN 10219 is a series of European standards on cold-formed welded steel structural hollow sections that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality structural hollow sections. BS EN 10219-2 is the second part of a series of documents on structural hollow sections. BS EN 10219-2 specifies tolerances for cold-formed welded circular, square, rectangular, and elliptical structural hollow sections, manufactured in wall thicknesses up to 40 mm, in the following size ranges:
- Circular: Outside diameters up to 2 500 mm
- Square: Outside dimensions up to 500 mm × 500 mm
- Rectangular: Outside dimensions up to 500 mm × 300 mm
- Elliptical: Outside dimensions up to 480 mm × 240 mm
The formulae for calculating sectional properties of sections manufactured to the dimensional tolerances of this standard, to be used for structural design, are given in Annex A. Dimensions and sectional properties for a limited range of more common sizes are given in Annex B.
NOTE: The designation of the sections' major axis (yy) and minor axis (zz) aligns with the axis designation used for structural design in the structural Eurocodes.
Who is BS EN 10219-2- Welded steel structural hollow sections for?
BS EN 10219-2 on cold-formed welded steel structural hollow sections is relevant to:
- Structural steel manufacturers and fabricators
- Structural steel stockholders and distributors
- Structural steel testing and assessment providers
- Relevant Notified Bodies under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Why should you use BS EN 10219-2- Welded steel structural hollow sections?
The cold-formed hollow section pipe is used commonly as a structural section. These structural sections are manufactured for giving up weldability and greater strength.
BS EN 10219-2 navigates you through the tolerances, measurement of size and shape, dimensions, and sectional properties. BS EN 10219-2 exemplifies the required dimensions and tolerances that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 10219-2, you can be ensured of tolerances, dimensions, and sectional properties of cold-formed welded steel structural hollow sections. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10219-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality cold-formed welded circular, square, rectangular, and elliptical structural hollow sections, of wall thicknesses up to 40 mm. BS EN 10219-2 helps you achieve precision in terms of the product specification. With BS EN 10219-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 10219-2:2019 supersedes BS EN 10219-2:2006, which is withdrawn.
The main changes concerning the previous edition are listed below:
- Elliptical hollow sections were added
- Annex a concerning the additional tolerances for piling tubes was removed
- Subclause 5.2 was added with one option
- In table 3 the length tolerances for exact length were changed
- In 7.1 one paragraph was added
