What is BS EN 10028-1 - Flat products made of steels about?

BS EN 10028 is a series of European standards on flat products made of steel for pressure purposes that discusses the best procedures and specifications on manufacturing high-quality flat steel sheets and plates for the construction of safe pressure equipment. BS EN 10028-1 is the first part of a series of documents on flat products made of steel for pressure purposes.

BS EN 10028-1 specifies general technical delivery conditions for flat products for the construction of pressure equipment. The general technical delivery conditions in EN 10021 also apply.

NOTE: Once this European Standard is published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) under Directive 2014/68/EU, the presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 2014/68/EU is limited to technical data of materials in this European Standard (Part 1 and the other relevant part of the series) and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical data stated in this material standard against the design requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 2014/68/EU are satisfied, needs to be done.

Who is BS EN 10028-1 - Flat products made of steels for?

BS EN 10028-1 on flat products made of steels for pressure purposes is relevant to:

Manufacturer of steel products
Manufacturer of pressure appliance

Why should you use BS EN 10028-1- Flat products made of steels?

Steel plate is used to produce pressure vessels due to its tensile strength, notch toughness, ductility, and fatigue characteristics Pressure vessels can store hot liquids and gasses safely without causing any damage to the container.

BS EN 10028-1 navigates you through the tolerances on dimensions, classification of the steel grades, calculation of mass, chemical properties, mechanical properties, test methods.

As a user of BS EN 10028-1, you can be ensured of all the general requirements for flat products made of steel for pressure purposes. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10028-1, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality flat products made of steel. With BS EN 10028-1 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10028-1 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN 10028-1:2017 supersedes BS EN 10028-1:2007+A1:2009, which is withdrawn.

The main changes to the previous version EN 10028-1:2007+A1:2009 are listed below:

A new table concerning the correlation between product form and the standard for tolerances on dimension and shape has been added in Clause 4
The extent of testing for a tensile test at room temperature (mandatory) and perpendicular to product (optional) in Table 2 has been revised;
A new optional test concerning the evaluation of resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking;
The cross-references in the standard have been updated;
The statements in 9.1.1 concerning inspection documents have been updated, the statements in 10.2.2 concerning the preparation of test pieces have been updated;
In 10.2.2.3 the third option for the width of the test pieces in thicknesses between 6 mm and 12 mm for impact testing has been deleted;
In Tables 4 and 5 the lower limit for the thickness of test pieces for impact testing has been changed from “11 mm” to “12 mm” and the corresponding data have been updated;
The correlation in Annex ZA between the clause of this European Standard and the essential requirements of the Directive 2014/68/EU has been updated;
Clarification of various technical requirements.
