EN 10312 specifies requirements for welded stainless steel tubes used in water supply systems, including drinking water, industrial water, and other aqueous liquids. It covers tubes for pressure and non-pressure applications.
EN 10312 specifies requirements for welded stainless steel tubes used in water supply systems, including drinking water, industrial water, and other aqueous liquids. It covers tubes for pressure and non-pressure applications.
Orders must include:
- Quantity, dimensions (outer diameter, wall thickness, length)
- Steel grade (e.g., 1.4301, 1.4404)
- Surface finish (e.g., pickled, polished)
- Type of testing and inspection (e.g., hydrostatic, non-destructive testing)
- Any additional requirements (e.g., certification, special packaging)
Common austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) grades include:
- 1.4301 (304)
- 1.4404 (316L)
- 1.4432 (316)
- 1.4539 (904L)
- 1.4462 (Duplex 2205)
Chemical composition must comply with EN 10088-1.
- Tensile strength, yield strength, elongation per grade (e.g., 1.4404: ≥485 MPa tensile, ≥170 MPa yield).
- Hardness limits (e.g., ≤210 HV for austenitic grades).
- Visual inspection (surface defects, weld integrity).
- Dimensional checks (diameter, wall thickness, ovality).
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) (eddy current, ultrasonic, or radiographic testing).
- Hydrostatic/pressure testing (optional, per customer request).
- Corrosion tests (if specified, e.g., intergranular corrosion test per EN ISO 3651-2).
- Tubes must be marked with:
- Manufacturer’s name/logo
- Steel grade
- Dimensions
- Standard number (EN 10312)
- Inspection Certificate 3.1 or 3.2 (EN 10204) may be required.
- Protection against mechanical damage and corrosion (e.g., plastic caps, waterproof wrapping).
- Revised corrosion resistance criteria.
- Enhanced NDT requirements for welded seams.
- Updated references to harmonized standards (e.g., EN 10088).
