What is BS EN 10225‑1 - Weldable structural steels about?
BS EN 10225 is a series of European standards on weldable structural steels that discusses its technical delivery conditions.
BS EN 10225‑1 is the first part of a series of documents. BS EN 10225‑1 specifies requirements for weldable structural steels, in the form of plates, to be used in the fabrication of fixed offshore structures.
Who is BS EN 10225‑1 - Weldable structural steels for?
BS EN 10225‑1 on Weldable structural steels for fixed offshore structures is beneficial for:
- Welders/ fabricators
- Structural engineer
- Steel manufacturer
- Non-destructive testing personnel
- Metallurgist
Why should you use BS EN 10225‑1 - Weldable structural steels standard?
Weldable structural steels are the steels that rely on quench and temper heat treatment to obtain very high strength are more susceptible to welding problems and require specific metallurgical expertise. BS EN 10225‑1 navigates you through the steel manufacturing process, thickness limits, chemical composition, mechanical properties of a steel plate which assist the manufacturer to manufacture the product accordingly.
Qualification of personnel for Non-destructive testing (NDT) activities is given in BS EN 10225‑1 which helps the user to improve the quality of the products.
Inspection methods, types of documentation required are mentioned in BS EN 10225‑1, these help the user to inspect the work and ensure good quality.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 10225‑1:2019 together with EN 10225-2:2019, EN 10225-3:2019, and EN 10225-4:2019 supersede EN 10225:2009.
In comparison to the previous edition, the following technical changes were made
- Split of the standard into four parts
- The steel names were adapted
- The distinction between primary and secondary applications has been removed
- The minimum design temperature of –10 °c specified for product use in the previous version of the standard has been removed.
- Information on Prequalification of steels for fixed offshore structures operating in arctic areas is added
