What is a tracked changes standard?
A tracked changes version of a Standard indicates the changes made, during the standards revision process, between the active standard and its previous version. Additions, deletions, and other formatting and/or content revisions are clearly displayed as underlined and strikethrough texts, ensuring all changes made between the two documents are quickly and easily identified. This version of the standard includes both a copy of the new standard, along with a track changes version.
What is this standard about?
This European standard is the fourth in a six-part series detailing technical delivery conditions for hot rolled structural steel products. The series is pivotal because it controls the majority of steel-frame-constructed buildings within the EU. This part deals with thermomechanical rolled weldable fine grain structural steels.
Who is this standard for?
- Steel manufacturers
- Steel importers, stockholders and distributors
- Construction companies
- Provides of testing and assessment facilities
- Design engineers
- Purchasing staff
- Quality engineers
- Quality managers
Why should you use this standard?
It specifies technical delivery conditions for flat and long products of hot rolled weldable fine grain structural steels in the thermomechanical rolled condition in the grades and qualities given in Tables 1 to 3 (chemical composition) and Tables 4 to 6 (mechanical properties) in thickness = 150 mm.
The steels specified in this document 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.
What’s changed in this update?
This is a revision of BS EN 10025-4:2004, updated to reflect modern construction standards and practices. It is now a stand-alone standard for technical delivery conditions including the preparation of samples and test pieces, the test methods, the marking, labelling and packaging and the drawings. Requirements for elements not defined were added to 7.2.1 and 7.2.2; Section 7.4.3 concerning hot-dip zinc coating was modified and Si-content in 7.2.4/5 was changed. Steel grade S500M was added.
