Flat products made of steels for pressure purposes - General requirements

BS EN 10028-1:2007+Amendment 1:2009 Flat products made of steels for pressure purposes. General requirements

BS EN 10028-1 has been amended to incorporate changes to sections on mechanical properties, and types of inspection and inspection documents. Some of the tables have also been updated, including: the summary of tests and extent of testing, test pieces for the impact test, position of test pieces, and chemical analysis.

BS EN 10028-1 specifies general technical delivery conditions for flat products for the construction of pressure equipment. The general technical delivery conditions in BS EN 10021 also apply.

About the BS EN 10028 series

The BS EN 10028 series of revised standards specifies general technical delivery conditions for flat products, sheet and plate, for the construction of pressure equipment.

The series has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 97/23/EC for pressure equipment (PED).

It is intended to be used by suppliers and users of steel intended for producing pressure vessels for use in e.g. high or low temperature applications.

The Parts of BS EN 10028 cover non-alloy and alloy steels with specified elevated temperature properties, weldable fine grain steels, nickel alloy steels with specified low temperature properties, and stainless steels. The BS EN 10028 series is referred to in both PD 5500 and the BS EN 13445 series of standards for pressure vessels.
