BS EN 10241:2000

What is BS EN 10241 — Steel threaded pipe fittings about?  

BS EN 10241 is an international standard that deals with the specifications for pipe fittings depending on different aspects. 

BS EN 10241 specifies the requirements for threaded fittings of nominal sizes from DN 6 to DN 150 inclusive, made out of welded or seamless steel tubes, forging and rolled bars. It is applicable to those threaded steel pipe fittings that are used in the transportation and distribution of liquid or gas.  

BS EN 10241 covers the technicalities such as related terms and definitions, designation, technical requirements like fitting manufacture surface conditions, material, dimensions, tolerances, protective measures like zinc coating, etc., for steel threaded pipe fittings.  

Who is BS EN 10241 — Steel threaded pipe fittings for?  

BS EN 10241 on Steel threaded pipe fittings is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of steel pipe fittings 
• Designers of steel pipe fittings 
• Metal fabrication Industries 
• Metal engineers 
• Industries where steel pipe fittings are used 
• Testing labs for steel pipe fittings 
• Regulatory authorities 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 10241 — Steel threaded pipe fittings? 

The steel pipelines and pipe fittings are used in fluid transportation, such as in gas and oil industries, worldwide.  They are usually safeguarded with extruded polyethylene-based coatings and cathodic protection. It is the most popular coating product used for covering steel pipelines. The two-layer extruded polyethylene coating provides exceptional corrosion defense to pipelines and pipe fittings. 

BS EN 10241 provides you with guidance for technical specifications of steel threaded pipe fittings, such as fitting manufacture, surface conditions, the material used for pipe fittings, chemical composition as well as threads that are in compliance with international standards. 

BS EN 10241 gives you information about the dimensions and tolerances of steel threaded pipe fittings, which helps the users to understand and decide the standard thickness, width, and length of steel threaded pipe fittings.  

Users of BS EN 10241 can get guidance on the protection measures and use the references for testing and inspection procedure for steel threaded pipe fittings, which helps in enhancing the life of the pipe fittings.  

Thus, BS EN 10241 provides you with comprehensive information useful for producing high-quality, cost-effective, durable steel threaded pipe fittings with minimum or no manufacturing defects.
