The method is applicable to types of steel with niobium contents between 0,005 % (m/m) and 1,3 % (m/m). Specifies principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, procedure, expression of results and test report. Annex A includes additional information on the international co-operative tests. Annex B gives a graphical representation of precision data.

This document specifies a potentiometric titration method for the determination of chromium content in steel and iron. The method is applicable to chromium contents between 1 % (mass fraction) and 35 % (mass fraction). Vanadium contents in steel and iron should be less than 1 % (mass fraction) for chromium contents higher than 10 % (mass fraction) and less than 0,2 % (mass fraction) for chromium contents less than 10 % (mass fraction).

This document specifies the mechanical properties of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheet, strip and plate for general engineering applications. It does not apply to semi-finished rolled products in coiled form to be subjected to further rolling (reroll stock) or to special products such as corrugated, embossed, painted, sheets and strips or to special applications such as aerospace, can stock, finstock, for which mechanical properties are specified in separate European Standards. The chemical composition limits of the alloys are specified in EN 573 3. Temper designations are specified in EN 515.

This document specifies requirements, including corrosion protection, for the design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of steel-cased pipelines for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries in accordance with ISO 13623. NOTE 1 Steel casings can be used for mechanical protection of pipelines at crossings, such as at roads and railways and the installation of a casing at a highway, railway, or other crossing can be required by the permitting agency or pipeline operator. NOTE 2 This document does not imply that utilization of casings is mandatory or necessary. NOTE 3 This document does not imply that cased crossings, whether electrically isolated or electrically shorted, contribute to corrosion of a carrier pipe within a cased crossing. However, cased crossings can adversely affect the integrity of the carrier pipe by shielding cathodic protection (CP) current to the carrier pipe or reducing the CP effectiveness on the carrier pipe in the vicinity of the casing. Their use is not recommended unless required by load considerations, unstable soil conditions, or when their use is dictated by sound engineering practices.

This document specifies a method of testing uniaxially deformed specimens under strain control at constant amplitude, uniform temperature and fixed strain ratios including at Re = −1 for the determination of material fatigue properties. It can also be used as a guide for testing under other R-ratios, as well as elevated temperatures where creep deformation effects may be active.

This document describes a method for the ultrasonic testing of uncoated flat steel product for internal discontinuities. This document is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of 5 mm to 200 mm of non-alloyed or alloyed steel, excluding austenitic or austenoferritic steels. However, this document can be applied to the latter types of steels provided that the difference between the amplitude of the noise signal and that of the echo detection threshold is sufficient for the limit fixed. This document also defines five quality classes for the flat product body (classes S0, S1, SA, S2 and S3) and five classes (E0, E1, E2, E3, E4) for the edges (see Clause 13). Other methods of testing (e.g. by phased-array) or other test equipment may be used at the manufacturer's discretion provided that they give identical results to those obtained under the conditions of this document. In the event of a dispute, only the method defined in this document shall prevail. Testing of flat product of thickness less than 5 mm or higher than 200 mm may be the subject of special agreements between the parties concerned. The inspection is normally carried out in the place of production or on the premises of the supplier. If specified on the order, the inspection takes place in the presence of the purchaser or his representative1. A list of equivalent terms in several European languages is given in Annex A.

The method specified is applicable to sulfur contents between 0,0003 % (m/m) and 0,010 % (m/m). However, niobium, silicon, tantalum and titanium interfere in the determination of sulfur, and application range and test portion masses of the method depend on the concentration of the interfering elements.

This document specifies requirements for coloured or uncoloured anodic oxidation coatings on wrought and cast products in aluminium and aluminium alloys for use in contact with food. These requirements cover the chemical composition of the bath, the sealing and the properties of the obtained anodic oxidation coatings. They do not cover dyestuffs and pigments but do cover the metallic deposits produced by electrolytic colouring.

This document specifies a method for assessing the resistance of materials or products to a humid atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide. This method is applicable to testing metals and alloys, metallic and non-organic coatings and organic coatings.

This document specifies the composition, mechanical, electrical and physical properties for high conductivity copper drawing stock (wire rod) suitable for fabrication into wire by cold drawing, principally for the manufacture of electrical conductors. This documentcovers drawing stock (wire rod), in nine grades of copper and nine silver-bearing copper grades. Normally, the cross-section is approximately circular, in a range of diameters from 6 mm.

This document describes the criteria and the procedure for analysing aluminium and aluminium alloys with spark optical emission spectrometry (S-OES). This document specifies the following: — sample preparation; — operational guidelines for an optical emission spectrometer (including maintenance); — traceability of the analytical results to the International System of units: mass (kg); — assessing the uncertainty associated with each analytical result. This document refers to simultaneous spark emission spectrometers for the analysis of solid samples. This document applies to the determination of silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, titanium, boron, gallium, vanadium, beryllium, bismuth, calcium, cadmium, cobalt, lithium, sodium, phosphorus, lead, antimony, tin, strontium and zirconium in aluminium and aluminium alloys. This document is applicable to the determination of elements other than those listed above with the following conditions: a) suitable reference materials are available; and b) the instrument is suitably calibrated and equipped. The test result obtained from a spark optical emission spectrometer generally concerns an amount of less than one milligram per spark spot. The result can be used to refer to the laboratory test sample, to the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt or to the cast product.
