PN-EN 10208-1,2 Steel pipes for pipelines for combustible fluids

The pipes are used for transporting gas, oil, combustible fluids with specific pressure in the mining, chemical, and power engineering industry.

The pipes are manufactured with the diameters between 21,3 – 660 mm and with the wall thickness of up to 40 mm in the case of hot rolled seamless pipes, and with the diameters between 10,2 – 108 and with the wall thickness of up to 10 mm in the case of cold drawn seamless pipes.

 

PN-EN 10208-1,2

Standard description Steel pipes for pipelines for combustible fluids. Pipes of requirement class A.
Manufacturing Manufactured as seamless pipes and as welded pipes.
Details: Table 1
Steel grades used Requirement class A
L210GA, L235GA, L245GA, L290GA, L360GA
Details: Table 2
Dimensions and tolerances For the outside diameter of welded pipes
For D<60mm +/-0,75% or +/- 0,5 mm depending on which value is greater.
For 60<D<610 +/-0,75% or +/- 0,5 mm depending on which value is greater.
For 610<D<1410 +/-0,5% or +/- 4,0 mm depending on which value is greater.
For D>1410 to be negotiated
Tightness Pipes should be subject to water testing (7Mpa) or electromagnetic testing.
Straightness < 0,0015 of pipe length (below 3 mm per every meter of pipe length)
Tests Details: Table 3
