What is BS EN 10314 - Proof strength about?
BS EN 10314 is a European standard on steel at elevated temperatures that discusses the criteria for measuring minimum values of proof strength of steel. BS EN 10314 specifies a method for deriving the minimum proof strength values for steels at elevated temperatures.
However, BS EN 10314 does not specify a verification procedure.
Who is BS EN 10314 - Proof strength for?
BS EN 10314 on minimum values of proof strength of steel is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of steel
- Laboratories and research centers
Why should you use BS EN 10314 - Proof strength?
The proof stress of a material is defined as the amount of stress it can endure until it undergoes a relatively small amount of plastic deformation.
BS EN 10314 provide guidance on input data groups, ratio values, minimum proof strength values, minimum yield strength values, application of the method, representative data groups, number of data, consistency of data, result.
As a user of BS EN 10314, you can be ensured of proof strength of steel at elevated temperatures. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10314, you can efficiently calculate minimum proof strength values for steels. BS EN 10314 helps to ensure that a material is not stressed far beyond its elastic limit. With BS EN 10314 you can manufacture high-quality steel at elevated temperatures.
