BS EN 10305-2:2016

What is BS EN 10305-2 - Welded cold drawn tubes about?  

BS EN 10305 is a European standard on steel tubes for precision applications that discusses the required best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality welded cold-drawn tubes. BS EN 10305-2 is the second part of a series of documents on steel tubes for precision applications. BS EN 10305-2 specifies the technical delivery conditions for welded cold drawn steel tubes of 

The circular cross-section for precision applications with specified outside diameter D ≤ 150 mm. 

BS EN 10305-2 may also be applied to other types of cross-section. 

Tubes according to BS EN 10305-2 are characterized by having precisely defined tolerances on dimensions and specified maximum surface roughness. Typical fields of application are in the automotive, furniture, and general engineering industries. 

Who is BS EN 10305-2 - Welded cold drawn tubes for?  

BS EN 10305-2 on steel tubes for precision applications is relevant to: 

• Manufacturer of welded cold drawn tubes  

Why should you use BS EN 10305-2- Welded cold drawn tubes? 

A welded tube is produced through roll forming strips or sheets of stainless steel into a tube shape and then welding the seam longitudinally. 

BS EN 10305-2 provides guidance on classification and designation, steelmaking process, tube manufacture, and delivery conditions, chemical composition, mechanical properties, appearance, internal soundness, dimensions and tolerances, inspection, and test methods. 

BS EN 10305-2 exemplifies the required chemical composition, mechanical properties, outside diameter, inside diameter, wall thickness, and eccentricity that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification. 

As a user of BS EN 10305-2, you can be ensured of technical delivery conditions for welded cold drawn tubes. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10305-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality precise welded cold-drawn tubes. With BS EN 10305-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10305-2  provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
