What is BS EN 10210-3 about?
BS EN 10210 is a European standard that deals with hot-finished hollow section structural steel. BS EN 10210-3 is the third in the three-part series on technical delivery conditions.
BS EN 10210-3 specifies technical delivery conditions for high strength and weather resistant hot-finished seamless, electric welded and submerged arc welded steel structural hollow sections of circular, square, rectangular or elliptical forms.
Adopting best industry guidance in compliance with BS EN 10210-3 can help manufacture high-quality and durable structural steel sections for optimal performance of end-use application.
Who is BS EN 10210-3 for?
BS EN 10210-3 on structural steels applies to:
- Structural steel manufacturers and fabricators
- Structural steel stockholders and distributors
- Structural steel testing and assessment providers
- Relevant Notified Bodies under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Why should you use BS EN 10210-3?
Testing the quality and durability of steel by its behaviour in extreme conditions, is critical to the overall performance of the end-use application. In this regard, BS EN 10210-3 provides you with the necessary guidelines to avoid product failure.
BS EN 10210-3 applies to hollow sections formed hot, with or without subsequent heat treatment, or formed cold with subsequent heat treatment above 580 °C to obtain equivalent mechanical properties to those obtained in the hot formed product.
BS EN 10210-3 also includes an increased range of steel grades.
BS EN 10210-3 can be used to assist customers in a very wide range of applications and can also be used for product development and commercial issues.
If you are a manufacturer, BS EN 10210-3 provides you with the necessary specifications that needs to be followed while making structural steel. Making the right selection of materials that are tested for weather-resistance is essential for the success of your engineering projects.
