What is BS EN 10305-4:2011?
BS EN 10305-4 looks at the technical delivery conditions for seamless cold drawn steel pipes with a circular shape. These pipes and steels are mainly used in hydraulic transmission systems as well as pneumatic transmission systems. The steel tubes classified in this standard have defined dimensional tolerances and a specified maximum surface roughness. You should consult the relevant regulations, codes and standards to determine the allowed pressure rates and temperatures when working with these pipes and steel.
How does it work?
BS EN 10305-4 first explains the classification and designation of steel tubes for precision engineering. It also looks at the manufacturing and steelmaking processes, and delves deeper into the chemical composition and mechanical properties of materials. This standard also gives practical advice on inspection – defining the type of inspection and its relevant documents.
