What is BS 4825-2 - Stainless steel bends and tees about?
BS 4825-2 is a series of European standards on stainless steel tubes and fittings that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality stainless steel bends and tees.
BS 4825-2 specifies requirements for stainless steel bends and tees for the food industry and other industries where there are hygienic requirements. BS 4825-2 specifies dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, and materials.
The bends and tees specified are for use with tubes specified in BS 4825-1 and are intended for welding to tube ends or fitting to expanded or welded type couplings. The bends and tees specified are for use with tubes of outside diameters 12.7 mm to 219.1 mm.
NOTE: BS 4825-2 does not cover the ERW tube.
Who is BS 4825-2 - Stainless steel bends and tees for?
BS 4825-2 on stainless steel bends and tees is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of stainless steel bends and tees
- Food industry
Why should you use BS 4825-2 - Stainless steel bends and tees?
Stainless steel tees are designed to allow a line to be split into two lines with a connection that is at a 90-degree angle. It can also be used to connect two lines into one main line when mixing chemicals. BS 4825-2 provides guidance on materials and manufacture, dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, manufacturer’s certificate.

With obedience and compliance to BS 4825-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality stainless steel bends and tees for the food industry and other hygienic applications. BS 4825-2 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS 4825-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
BS 4825-2 exemplifies the required dimensions and tolerances that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality. BS 4825-2 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS 4825-2:1991+A2:2009 supersedes BS 4825-2:1991, which is withdrawn. The essential differences between this part of BS 4825 and BS 4825-2:1973 are as follows.
- A greater selection of materials is given
- Sizes less than 101.6 mm outside diameter are exact metric equivalents of imperial sizes of tube
- Alternative dimensions of lengths of bends and tees have been included
- Tolerances of perpendicularity have been changed
- Marking requirements are given in greater detail
