PRODUCT DETAILS

What Is EN 10216-2?

EN 10216-2 specifies technical delivery conditions for seamless tubes of circular cross-section made from non-alloy and alloy steels with specified elevated-temperature properties.

It is used for pressure-purpose tubing where material properties at elevated temperatures form part of the material selection and design requirements.

The current standard edition is:

EN 10216-2:2024

Elevated-Temperature Properties

A defining characteristic of EN 10216-2 is the specification of mechanical properties for elevated-temperature pressure service.

The standard provides minimum 0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) values at elevated temperatures for applicable steel grades.

Verification of elevated-temperature proof strength can be specified at the enquiry and order stage, with the required test temperature stated by the purchaser.

Creep-rupture strength values are also provided in the standard for engineering reference.

Final material selection should follow the applicable design code and actual design temperature, pressure and service conditions.

Heat Treatment

Heat-treatment condition depends on the steel grade.

Typical delivery conditions for commonly specified grades include:

P195GH / P235GH / P265GH: Normalized or normalized forming

16Mo3: Normalized or normalized forming

10CrMo5-5: Normalized and tempered

13CrMo4-5: Normalized and tempered

10CrMo9-10: Normalized and tempered

The required delivery condition shall be confirmed according to the exact grade and EN 10216-2 requirements.

Test Categories

EN 10216-2 defines two test categories:

TC1 — Test Category 1

TC2 — Test Category 2

For applicable non-alloy steel grades, TC1 or TC2 should be specified at the enquiry and order stage.

TC2 includes additional inspection and nondestructive testing requirements compared with TC1.

For alloy steel grades, the applicable inspection and testing requirements are determined according to EN 10216-2 and the purchase specification.
