At the manufacturers discretion tube may be cold finished. The tube may
then be annealed, normalized or quenched and tempered to achieve the
required properties.

Note: The cold drawing process leaves residual oil on the tube which may
leave a residue when heat treated.

When required tube shall be supplied descaled (see option 4). The amount
of descaling shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. The method is
at the discretion of the manufacturer.

Option 4 (see 5.2) Tubes shall be supplied descaled.

7. Requirements
7.1 General
Tubes, when supplied in a delivery condition specified at the time of enquiry and
order (see clause 5) and inspected in accordance with clause 8, shall comply with the
requirements of this part of this European Standard.

In addition, the general technical delivery requirements specified in EN 10021 apply.

Page 14
prEN 10297-1: 1998

7.2 Chemical composition

7.2.1 The cast analysis reported by the steel producer shall apply and shall comply
with the requirements of Tables 40, 4b, 4c, 4d and A I.

In case of dispute Ihe pennissible deviations of a product analysis from the

specified analysis limits are given in lable 5.

Note: When welding tubes produced according to this part of this European
standard, account should be taken of the fact that the behaviour of
the steel during and after welding is dependent not only on the steel
but also on the conditions of preparing for and carrying out welding.
Not all oftbe steels specified in this standard are able to be welded
unless specialised techniques are employed by specialist welders.

10.5.3 Electromagnetic Test

The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10246-1.

10.6 Non-destructive Testing

Testing shall be carried out in accordance with one of the following non-destructive
testing standards to the acceptance level indicated.

EN 10246-3 acceptance level E4

EN 10246-5 acceptance level F4
EN 10246-7 acceptance level U4

The choice of method is at the discretion of the manufacturer.

10.7 Dimensional Inspcction

Specified dimensions shall be verified.

A gauge is used normally for measuring the outside diameter, however for tubes with D
equal to or greater than 406,4 mm this may be measured using a circumference tape. The
wall thickness shall be measured at the tube ends.

10.8 Visual examination

Tubes shall be visually examined for compliance with the requirement of7.4.1.

10.9 Matcrial Identification

Each tube from alloy steel in the tables 4d and A 1 shall be tested by an appropriate
method to assure that the correct grade is being supplied.

10.10 Retests, sorting and reprocessing [ -
For retests, sorting an reprocessing the requirements of EN 100 shall apply.

11. Marking 1j
I 1.1 Except as provided for in 11.2, for tubes which are supplied b~
died, each tube shall be
marked by suitable and durable methods such as painting, stamping, adhesive labels or
attached tags with the following:

the manufacturers name or trademark

the designation eg EN EC029086 - E275
the symbol for the delivery condition, eg "N", where applicable
in the case of specific inspection, the mark of the inspection representative and an
identification number (eg order or item number) which permits the correlation of
the product or delivery unit to the related document

Example of marking

X-EN EC029086 - E275 - N - Y - Z

X manufacturers name or trademark

Y = mark of inspection representative
Z = identification number (eg order or item number)

11.2 Where the products are supplied bundled, the marking required in 11.1 may be on
a label which shall be securely attached to the bundle.

12. Protection
The tubes shall be delivered without protection unless otherwise specified (see option
\6).

Option 16 (see 5.2) Tubes shall be specially protected for transit and storage. The
type of coating shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
