BS EN 10029:2010

Comprehensive Metallurgy Standard for Hot-Rolled Steel Plate Thickness

BS EN 10029:2010 is the definitive British Standard for specifying tolerances on thickness of hot-rolled steel plates. This standard is an essential reference for manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users of hot-rolled steel plates to ensure consistent quality and compliance.

Key Specifications and Requirements

- Applies to hot-rolled steel plates with a thickness of 3 mm and above- Specifies tolerances on thickness, width, length, flatness, and edge camber- Covers steel grades from mild to high-strength alloy steels- Includes requirements for surface condition, internal soundness, and dimensional tolerances- Aligns with international standards for global trade and consistency

Benefits of Compliance

- Ensures predictable and reliable steel plate dimensions for manufacturing processes- Reduces waste, rework, and quality issues by establishing clear thickness tolerance limits- Facilitates efficient production planning and inventory management- Supports quality control and inspection procedures for incoming materials- Enables seamless integration with other manufacturing standards and specifications

Applications and Industries

BS EN 10029:2010 is an essential standard for a wide range of industries and applications that rely on consistent, high-quality hot-rolled steel plates, including:- Automotive and transportation- Construction and infrastructure- Machinery and equipment manufacturing- Shipbuilding and offshore structures- Pressure vessels and storage tanks- General fabrication and metalworking

Comprehensive Technical Guidance

This British Standard provides detailed technical requirements and test methods for evaluating the thickness, width, length, flatness, and edge camber of hot-rolled steel plates. It also includes guidance on:- Measurement techniques and instrumentation- Sampling procedures and statistical analysis- Inspection and acceptance criteria- Packaging, marking, and documentation requirementsBy adhering to the specifications outlined in BS EN 10029:2010, manufacturers and suppliers can ensure their hot-rolled steel plates meet the rigorous quality and dimensional standards required for a wide range of industrial applications.
