Stainless steel and rolled metal standards
Standards
Stainless steel and rolled metal standards (quality standards, conformity standards) - are national and/or international documents containing requirements, specifications, recommendations or characteristics that can be used to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are suitable for their intended purpose.
Standards provide organizations with the common vision, understanding, procedures, and vocabulary needed to meet stakeholder expectations. Because standards provide precise descriptions and terminology, they offer organizations and consumers around the world an objective and authoritative basis for communicating and doing business.
ASTM A554 | Tolerances: diameter, wall thickness, out-of-roundness
ASTM A554
- is an internationally recognized standard of the American Society for Testing and Materials. It contains standard specifications for welded stainless steel mechanical tubing of various cross-sectional shapes (round; rectangular, square - for profile tube; etc.).
Chemical compatibility and resistance of stainless steel
The chemical compatibility and resistance of stainless steel depends on the specific type, grade of steel and the environment with which it comes into contact. There are many different types of stainless steel, each with its own chemical composition and properties. The most common grades include AISI 304 and AISI 316.
Classification of stainless rolled metal products
Stainless rolled products in metallurgy (stainless rolled metal products) - products made of stainless steel, obtained on rolling mills by hot, warm or cold rolling.
Assortment - a set of rolled profiles (cross-sectional shape of a rolled product) that differ in shape and size.
Compatibility of stainless steel with other metals | Galvanic couple
The compatibility of stainless steel with other metals depends on the specific type/grade of stainless steel and the metal it comes into contact with. Stainless steel is compatible with some metals, but there are some that when combined (in contact) form a galvanic pair, which can lead to rust and subsequent corrosion (bimetallic | galvanic | contact) of your product.
EN 10357 standard | DIN 11850
EN 10357 | DIN 11850 - is a European standard defining the dimensions, tolerances and manufacturing conditions for stainless steel pipes and fittings used in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. The standard covers both welded and seamless pipes and fittings intended for welding into pipe systems. The standard ensures that the pipes are resistant to corrosion and can operate in environments where hygiene and
...Maximum allowable working pressure for stainless steel round welded pipes
Stainless steel welded tubes manufactured in accordance with EN 10357 (DIN 11850) and EN 10217-7 (DIN 17457) can be used for pressure applications at room, low and elevated temperatures.
Maximum temperature for some heat-resistant stainless steel grades for use in air
The maximum temperature of stainless steel in air depends on the type of stainless steel and the operating conditions. In general, stainless steels can be used in air at temperatures up to 870 °C. However, some types / grades of stainless steel can withstand higher temperatures. For example, AISI 316 steel can be used up to 1000 °C, and AISI 446 steel up to 1200 °C.
