What is the EN 10217-1 ?

 

EN 10217-1 (BS EN 10217-1) is the technical delivery conditions for pressure pipes of the circular hollow cross-sections with specific room-temperature properties, manufactured by electric welding and submerged-arc welding processes and having both TR1 and TR2 qualities.

 

TR1 for qualities without specified aluminium content and specified impact properties and with non-specific inspection requirements; TR2 for qualities with specified aluminium content, specified impact properties, and either non-specific or specific inspection requirements.

 

Quality TR2 is intended to support the essential requirements of EU Directive 2014/68/EU in respect of pressure equipment with specified room temperature properties.

Manufacture Process

 

EN 10217-1 should be fabricated using welding processes, which can be categorized as follows:

 

For EN 10217-1 there are various manufacturing routes available depending on the production process, production route and delivery conditions. If required by the project, this can be specified using the route number.

 

However, it should be noted that there are several routes that are not suitable for the manufacture of TR2 varieties of tubes.

a: Elements not quoted in this table shall not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser, except for elements which may be added for finishing the cast.

Dimension

 

EN 10217-1 steel pipe sizes generally cover the following ranges:

 

  • Outer diameter: 10.2 mm – 2540 mm;
  • Wall thickness: 0.5 mm – 40 mm;

 

The preferred outside diameter and wall thickness shall be selected from three series.

 

  • Series 1 = diameter for which all the accessories needed for the construction of the piping system are standardized;
  • Series 2 = diameter for which not all the accessories are standardized;
  • Series 3 = diameter for special applications for which very few standardized accessories exist.

Test Pressure:

The experimental pressure for hydrostatic testing shall be calculated using 70 bar (7 MPa) or by the following formula, whichever is less.

 

P = 20 × (S × T)/D

  • P is the test pressure, in bar;

Test Time:

The test pressure shall be held for not less than 5 s for tubes with an outside diameter D ≤ 457 mm and for not less than 10 s for tubes with an outside diameter D > 457 mm.
