DIN 2393-81 Part 2 WELDED PRECISION STEEL TUBES

1.Field of application
This Standard defines the technical conditions of delivery for welded precision steel tubes in accordance with DIN 2393 Part 1 which are made from the steel grades listed in
section 5.
Tubes in accordance with this Standard are mainly used where accuracy to dimension and in some cases also small wall thicknesses and good surface condition are required.

6. Chemical composition
6.1. Information on the chemical composition of the steels is given in table 2. Small departures from these data which apply to the ladle analysis are permissible provided the
properties of the steel in use are not thereby impaired.
6.2. When subsequent testing is carried out on the finished tube, additions to the figures given for the ladle analysis in table 2 must be allowed for the maximum permissible
contents in terms of carbon, phosphorus and sulfur :

- ifor deviations due to sampling and method of analysis +5%

- ifor deviations due to segregation

in the case of rimming steels + 20%

in the case of killed steels +5%

of the particular maximum content.

7. Condition on delivery
The tubes are supplied in one of the conditions listed in table 3. Other conditions on delivery see table 9 (quality grade C).
Table 3. Conditions on delivery
Term Symbol Explanation

Cold-finished/hard No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. for this reason, the tubes therefore have only low
BK
(cold-finished as-drawn) deformability.

Cold-finished/soft After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing). if subsequent working is carried out
BKW
(lightly cold-worked) properly, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits.

Annealed GBK After the final cold-forming process, the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

Normalized NBK The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

3) The yield point for the annealed GBK condition on delivery is at least 50% of the tensile strength.

According to the degree of deformation, the drawing process, the yield point of tubes delivered in the cold finished/hare (BK) and cold-finished/soft (BKW) condition may

be increased to a level close to the tensile strength. The following value are recommended for calculating the yield pint : condition on delivery cold-finished/hard :≥ 80%

of the tensile strength, cold-finished/soft: ≥ 70% of the tensile strength.

4) In the case of tubes of outside diameter ≤ 30 mm, the wall thickness of which is ≤ 3mm, the minimum value for the yield point is 10 N /㎟ lower.
