EN 10253-3 10253-4 Ambient temperature mechanical properties
EN 10253-3 is the material standard for austenitic and duplex stainless steel for butt-welded fittings without specific inspection requirements. EN 10253-4 is the material standard for austenitic and duplex stainless steel for butt-welded fittings with specific inspection requirements.
The compositions are the same in both standard. They differ in that part 4 has a comprehensive set of inspection requirements. The overall intention seems to be that part 4 makes the fittings suitable for pressure purposes. The extra requirements of part 4 include;
Definition of product making process - starting forms, hot and cold processing
Normal or enhanced wall thickness
Impact toughness values
Determination of pressure factors - formulae are given for calculating these and tables are provided for common fitting sizes
The types of product covered by the standards are:
Elbows
Concentric reducers
Eccentric reducers
Equal tees
Reducing tees
End caps
