1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements
for long products and flat products of hot-rolled
weldable fine grain structural quality and special
steels. Part 1 of this European Standard specifies
the general delivery conditions. Part 2 of this
European Standard specifies the delivery conditions
for normalized steels in the grades and qualities
given in Table 1 (chemical composition) and Table 3
and Table 4 (mechanical properties) of Part 2.
NOTE Whenever normalized is mentioned, normalized rolled is
also covered (see 7.2 of Part 2).
Licensed Copy: Puan Ms. Norhayati, Petroliam Nasional Berhad, 31 July 2002, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
Part 3 of this European Standard specifies the
delivery conditions for thermomechanical rolled
steels in the grades and qualities given in Table 1
(chemical composition) and Table 3 and Table 4
(mechanical properties) of Part 3.
The steels specified in this European Standard are
especially intended for use in heavily loaded parts of
welded structures such as, bridges, flood gates,
storage tanks, water supply tanks, etc., for service
at ambient and low temperatures.
1.2 This European Standard does not apply to
products for which other EURONORMS exist or
European Standards dealing with steels for general
structural applications are being prepared:
— Hot-rolled products of non-alloy structural
steels (see EN 10025).
— Semi-finished products for forging in general
purpose structural steels (see EURONORM 30).
— Weathering steels for structural purposes
(see EN 10155).
— Plates and wide flats made of weldable
fine-grained structural steels in the quenched
and tempered condition (see prEN 10137).
— Flat products in high yield strength steels for
cold forming — wide flats, sheet/plate, wide and
narrow strip (see prEN 10149).
— Steels for shipbuilding — normal and high

8.6.2 Mechanical tests
Mechanical tests shall be carried out in the
temperature range 10 °C to 35 °C, except where a
specific temperature is specified for impact tests
(see 7.4.2.1 and 7.4.2.2).
8.6.2.1 Tensile tests
The tensile test shall be carried out in accordance
with EN 10002-1.
For the specified yield strength in Table 3 of Part 2
and Table 3 of Part 3 of this European Standard the
upper yield strength (ReH) shall be determined.
If a yield phenomenon is not present, the 0,2 % proof
strength (Rp0,2) or the Rt0,5 shall be determined; in
cases of dispute the 0,2 % proof strength (Rp0,2)
shall be determined.
If a non-proportional test piece is used for products
with a thickness $ 3 mm the percentage elongation
value obtained shall be converted to the value for a
gauge length Lo = 5,65 √ So using the conversion
tables given in ISO 2566/1.
8.6.2.2 Impact tests
The impact test shall be carried out in accordance
with EN 10045-1.
The average value of the three test results shall
meet the specified requirement. One individual
value may be below the minimum average value
specified, provided that it is not less than 70 % of
that value.
Three additional test pieces shall be taken from the
same sample in accordance with 8.5.1 and tested in
any one of the following cases:
— if the average of three impact values is lower
than the minimum average value specified;
— if the average value meets the specified
requirement, but two individual values are lower
than the minimum average value specified;
— if any one value is lower than 70 % of the
minimum average value specified.
The average value of the six tests shall be not less
than the minimum average value specified. Not
more than two of the individual values may be lower
than the minimum average value specified and not
more than one may be lower than 70 % of this value.
8.6.3 Ultrasonic testing

Location of samples and test pieces (see EURONORM 18)
The following three categories of products are covered:
— beams, channels, angles, T sections and Z sections (Figure A.1)
— bars (Figure A.2)
— flat products (Figure A.3).
Licensed Copy: Puan Ms. Norhayati, Petroliam Nasional Berhad, 31 July 2002, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

Figure A.1 — Beams, channels, angles, T sections and Z sections

1)
By agreement, the sample can be taken from the web, at a quarter of the total height.
2)
Test pieces are taken from the sample as indicated in Figure A.3. For sections with inclined flanges, the inclined surface may be
machined in order to make it parallel to the other surface.

Figure A.2 — Bars

1) For products with small dimensions (d or b # 25 mm) the test piece, if possible, consists of an unmachined full section of the
product.
2)
For the products of diameter or thickness # 40 mm the manufacturer may either apply:
— the rules specified for products of diameter or thickness # 25 mm, or
— take the test piece at a location nearer the centre than indicated in the figure.
3)
For products of round cross-section, the axis of the notch is approximately a diameter; for products with rectangular
cross-section, the axis of the notch is perpendicular to the greatest rolled surface.

Figure A.3 — Flat products

1)
In case of doubt or dispute, for products of thickness greater than or equal to 3 mm use proportional test pieces of gauge
length Lo = 5,65 √ So. For normal testing, for reasons of economy, test pieces of a constant measuring length may be used
provided the result obtained for elongation after breaking is converted by a recognized formula (see, for example,
ISO 2566 Conversion of elongation values). For products of thickness greater than 30 mm a round test piece may be used if
agreed between the parties.
Option 14.
2)
The axis of the notch shall be perpendicular to the surface of the product.
