EN10216-5 Seamless Steel Tubes for Pressure Purposes at Elevated Temperatures - Technical Delivery Conditions
Ordering Information
Purchasers must specify:
- Quantity (length, number of tubes)
- Dimensions (outer diameter, wall thickness)
- Steel grade (e.g., 1.4301, 1.4404)
- Delivery condition (e.g., solution annealed)
- Inspection requirements (e.g., non-destructive testing, hydrostatic pressure)
- Any special requirements (e.g., specific cleanliness for nuclear applications).
Steel Grades & Chemical Composition
The standard covers austenitic stainless steels, including:
- Standard grades: 1.4301 (304), 1.4404 (316L), 1.4541 (321), 1.4571 (316Ti), etc.
- High-temperature grades: 1.4919, 1.4958, etc.
- Composition limits for C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Mo, N, etc., are specified.
Manufacturing & Delivery Conditions
- Production method: Seamless, cold/hot finished.
- Heat treatment: Solution annealing (mandatory for austenitic steels).
- Surface finish: Free from scale, cracks, and defects; pickling or passivation may be required.
Inspection & Testing Requirements
1 Mechanical Properties
- Tensile test (Rm, Rp0.2, elongation)
- Hardness test (if required)
2 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Eddy current or ultrasonic testing for defect detection.
- Hydrostatic testing (optional, unless specified).
3 Other Tests
- Grain size assessment (for certain grades)
- Intergranular corrosion test (e.g., Strauss test for sensitization).
Marking & Certification
- Tubes must be marked with:
- Manufacturer’s name/logo
- Steel grade
- Dimensions
- Heat number
- Standard reference (EN 10216-5).
- Inspection Certificate 3.1 or 3.2 (EN 10204).
Tolerance & Dimensions
- Covers tolerances for outer diameter, wall thickness, straightness, and length.

Notes on Steel Grades
- Grades like 1.4301 (304) and 1.4404 (316L) are the most commonly used.
- Duplex steels (1.4462, 1.4410) offer higher strength and corrosion resistance.
- High-temperature grades (1.4958, 1.4959) are used in extreme conditions (e.g., petrochemical furnaces).
- Low-carbon variants (e.g., 1.4306, 1.4404) are preferred for welding applications.
