EN 10216-5 Seamless Steel Pipes for Pressure Purposes - Technical Delivery Conditions - Part 5: Stainless Steel Tubes

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 10216-5 testing. This European Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions in two test categories for seamless tubes of circular cross section made of austenitic (including creep resistant steel) and austenitic-ferritic stainless steel, intended for pressure and corrosion resistance purposes at room temperature and low temperatures.

The inner and outer surface coating of the pipes will be typical of the manufacturing process and, where applicable, the heat treatment used. Normally the finish and surface condition should be such that any surface defects requiring correction can be identified.

Correction of surface defects only by grinding or machining will be permitted provided that the wall thickness in the area to be corrected is not less than the specified minimum wall thickness thereafter. All the worn areas will blend smoothly into the contour of the tube.

For heat-treated tubes, a test unit shall consist of tubes of the same specified diameter and wall thickness, the same steel grade, the same casting, the same manufacturing process, the same finish in a continuous furnace, or the same heat-treated tubes.

For extruded pipes, a test unit should contain pipes of the same specified diameter and wall thickness, the same steel grade, the same casting, and the same manufacturing process.

Three standard Charpy V-notch test pieces will be prepared according to EN ISO 148-1. If the nominal product thickness is such that standard test pieces cannot be produced without flattening the section, test pieces with a width of less than 10 mm but not less than 5 mm should be prepared; The largest achievable width shall be used.
