BS EN 10305-2:2016 Steel tubes for precision applications. Technical delivery conditions. Welded cold drawn tubes
BS EN 10305 Steel tubes for precision applications. Technical delivery conditions, consists of the following parts:
Part 1: Seamless cold drawn tubes
Part 2: Welded cold drawn tubes
Part 3: Welded cold sized tubes
Part 4: Seamless cold drawn tubes for hydraulic and pneumatic power systems
Part 5: Welded cold sized square and rectangular tubes
Part 6: Welded cold drawn tubes for hydraulic and pneumatic power system
BS EN 10305-2 is the standards that specifies the technical delivery conditions for welded cold drawn steel tubes of circular cross section for precision applications with specified outside diameter D ≤ 150 mm.
Part 2 of BS EN 10305 may also be applied to other types of cross section. Tubes according to this document are characterized by having precisely defined tolerances on dimensions and a specified maximum surface roughness. Typical fields of application are in the automotive, furniture and general engineering industries.
