a Elements not included in this Table shall not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser, except for elements which may be added for finishing the cast. All appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent the addition of undesirable elements from scrap or other materials used in the steel making process. b This requirement is not applicable provided the steel contains a sufficient amount of other nitrogen binding elements which shall be reported. When using titanium, the producer shall verify that (Al+Ti/2)≥0,020% c Option 2: In order to facilitate subsequent forming operations, an agreed maximum copper content lower than indicated and an agreed specified maximum tin content shall apply d The content of these elements need not to be reported unless intentionally added to the cast. e For wall thickness ≥ 30 mm the carbon content may be increased by 0,02 % for cast and product analysis. f The upper carbon value of 0,23 % shall not be exceeded for product analysis.

After testing, the test piece shall be free from cracks or breaks. However, slight incipient cracks at its edges shall not be regarded as justification for rejection.
11.6 Ring expanding test
The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10236.

11.7 Impact test
11.7.1 The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10045-1 at the temperature given in Table 4.
 
11.7.2 The mean value of the three test pieces shall meet the requirements given in Table 4. One individual value may be below the specified value, provided that it is not less than 70 % of that value.
11.7.3 If the width (W) of the test piece is less than 10 mm, the measured impact energy (KV p ) shall be converted to the calculated impact energy(KV c ) using the following equation:
   
 
where:
 KV c is the calculated impact energy, in J;
 KV p is the measured impact energy, in J;
 W is the width of the test piece, in mm.
The calculated impact energy KV c shall conform to the requirements given in 11.7.2.
 
 
11.7.4 If the requirements of 11.7.2 are not met, then an additional set of three test pieces may be taken at the discretion of the manufacturer from the same sample and tested. To consider the test unit as conforming, after testing the second set, the following conditions shall be satisfied simultaneously:
the average value of the six tests shall be equal to or greater than the specified minimum average value;
not more than two of the six individual values may be lower than the specified minimum average value;
not more than one of the six individual values may be lower than 70 % of the specified minimum average value.
11.7.5 The dimensions in millimetres of the test pieces, the measured impact energy values and the resulting average value shall be reported.
11.8 Leak tightness test
11.8.1 Hydrostatic test
The hydrostatic test shall be carried out at a test pressure of 70 bar
2) or at a test pressure P calculated using the following equation, whichever is lower:
   
where :
 P is the test pressure, in bar;
 D is the specified outside diameter, in mm;
 T is the specified wall thickness, in mm;
 S is the stress, in
MPa, corresponding to 70 % of the specified minimum yield strength (see Table 4) for the steel grade concerned.
The test pressure shall be held for not less than 5 s for tubes with an outside diameter D less than or equal to 457 mm and for not less than 10 s for tubes with an outside diameter D greater than 457 mm.
The tube shall withstand the test without showing leakage or visible deformation.

2) 1 bar = 100 kPa
 
NOTE：This hydrostatic leak-tightness test is not a strength test.
Option 14: A test pressure different from that specified in 11.8.1 and corresponding to stresses below 90% of the specified minimum yield strength (see Table 4) for the steel grade concerned is specified.
11.8.2 Electromagnetic test
The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10246-1.

12 MARKING
12.1 Marking to be applied
The marking shall be indelibly marked on each tube at least at one end. For tubes with outside diameter D ≤ 51 mm the marking on tubes may be replaced by the marking on a label attached to the bundle or box.
The marking shall include the following information:
 the manufacturer's name or trade mark ;
 the number of this European standard and the steel name (see 5.2);
 the test category in case of non-alloy steel grades;
 the cast number or a code number;
 the mark of the inspection representative;
 an identification number (e.g. order or item number) which permits the correlation of the product or delivery unit to the related document.
 
Example of marking:
X - EN 10216-2 - P265GH - TC1 - Y- Z 1 - Z 2
where:
 X is the manufacturer's mark;
 TC1 is the designation of the test category 1;
 Y is the cast number or a code number;
 Z 1 is the mark of the inspection representative;
 Z 2 is the identification number.
 
12.2 Additional marking
Option 17: Additional marking, as agreed upon at the time of enquiry and order, shall be applied.
