BS EN 755-2:2008 Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Extruded rod/bar, tube and profiles. Mechanical properties

BS EN 755-2 is the European Standard, a part of the BS EN 755 series, that specifies the mechanical property limits applicable to aluminium and aluminium alloy extruded rod/bar, tube and profile.

Technical conditions for inspection and delivery, including product and testing requirements, are specified in BS EN 755-1. Temper designations are defined in BS EN 515. The chemical composition limits for these materials are given in BS EN 573-3.

Contents of BS EN 755-2 include:

• Foreword
• Scope
• Normative references
• Mechanical property limits
• General
• Elongation
• Reference list of the tables of mechanical properties of the relevant aluminium and aluminium alloys
• Tables of mechanical properties
