BS EN 10028-3:2017

Comprehensive Technical Standard for Pressure Steel Products

BS EN 10028-3:2017 is the definitive standard for flat steel products used in pressure applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. This standard specifies the technical requirements, testing procedures, and quality control measures necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of steel components subjected to high pressure, temperature, and stress.

Ensuring Safety and Compliance for Critical Equipment

Developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), this standard is harmonized with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU. It provides a comprehensive framework for the manufacture, testing, and certification of steel products used in the construction of pressure vessels, boilers, pipework, and other critical industrial equipment.Key benefits of conforming to BS EN 10028-3:2017 include:• Assurance of material quality, mechanical properties, and suitability for pressure applications• Compliance with stringent safety regulations for the design and use of pressure equipment• Streamlined procurement and supply chain processes through standardized specifications• Reduced risk of equipment failure, personal injury, and environmental damage

Comprehensive Technical Requirements

This standard covers a wide range of technical specifications for flat steel products, including:• Chemical composition• Mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, impact toughness)• Tolerances and dimensional requirements• Surface condition and defect limitations• Heat treatment and manufacturing processes• Testing procedures and quality control measuresThe standard also provides guidance on the selection of appropriate steel grades based on the operating conditions and design requirements of the pressure equipment.

Ensuring Consistent Quality and Performance

By adhering to the rigorous requirements of BS EN 10028-3:2017, manufacturers and suppliers can demonstrate the quality and reliability of their steel products to customers and regulatory authorities. This helps to:• Minimize the risk of equipment failure and associated safety hazards• Streamline the procurement and certification process for pressure equipment• Maintain consistent performance and service life of critical industrial components• Enhance the overall safety and sustainability of pressure-related industries
