BS EN 10028-2 is the European standard that specifies requirements for flat products for pressure equipment made of weldable nonalloy and alloy steels with elevated temperature properties as specified.
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.
The requirements and definitions of BS EN 10028-1:2007+ A1:2009 also apply.
BS EN 10028-2 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports the essential requirements of the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC).
Adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment should not be presumed.
Consequently, the technical data included in BS EN 10028-2, should be assessed against the design requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 97/23/EC are satisfied.
