Foreword
This document (EN 10163-2:2004) has been prepared by Technical Commitiee ECISS/TC 10 “Structural
steels — Grades and qualities”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
‘This European Standard shall be given ihe stalus of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be wilhdrawn at
the latest by June 2005,
This document supersedes EN 10163-2:1991, Dolivory requirements for surface condition of hot-rolled stoo!
pistes, wide flats and sections ~ Part 2: Plates and wide flats.
This series of standards consists of the fallowing parts, under the general title Delivery requirements for
surface condition of hot-ralled steel plates, wide flats and sections:
— Parl 1: General requirements
— Part 3: Sections.
During the 5 yoar review of EN 10163-2:1991 the members of ECISS/TC 10 agreed to revise
EN 10163-2:1991. It was asked to bring the text in line with ECISS DOCS N 809 “Iron and sleet
standardization — Model for a product standard’. Also the range of dimensions from EN 10025-2, which
Is increased fram 250 mm to 400 mm is incorporated in this new edition.
‘According to the CENICENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound fo implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic. Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, ireland, laly, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malla, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Siovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
‘Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.EN 10463-2:2004 (E)
1 Scope
1 addition to EN 10163-1 this document specifies the delivery requirements which apply to the surface
condition of hot-olled plates end surface condition of the faces of wide flats with thicknesses of
3mm < f= 400 mm.
NOTE For piates with a thickness > 400 mm special agreements should be madi at he time of the order,
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document, For daled
references, only tne edition cited applies. For undated references, the lalest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 10029, Hot rolled stee! plates 3 mm thick or above - Tolerances on dimensions, shape and mass.
EN 10051, Continuously hot-rolled uncoated plate, sheet and strip of non-alloy and alloy steels - Tolerances
‘on dimensions and shape.
EN 10163-1:2004, Delivery requirements for surface condition of hot-rolled steel plates, wide flats and
sections ~ Part 1: Generat requirements.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this cocumont, the folowing terms and definitions apply
34
imperfections for lat products
surface discontinuities other than cracks, shell and seams with a depth and/or area equal to or less than a
specified limiting value
32
defects for flat products
surface discontinuities with a depth and/or area greater than a specified limiting value and all cracks, shell and
seams irrespective of their depth orfand area
4 General
In addition to the conditions stated in EN 10163-1, it applies that if the purchaser needs to be sure that all
discontinuities visible to the naked eye have been identified, assessed and where necessary repaired before
delivery, products should be ordered descaled (see Clause 4 of EN 10163-1:2004).
5 Classification
‘The surface requirements and repair conditions are subdivided inlo 2 classes and each class Is further
subdivided into 3 subclasses:
Class A The surface condition shall comply with the requirements of 6.2.1 and 6.3.2.2. The remaining
thickness of the affected area under discontinuities and of repaired ground areas may be less
than the minimum thickness as specified in the appropriate tolerance slandard,EN 10163-2:2004 (E}
Class B The surface condition shail comply with the requirements of 6.2.2 and 6.3.2.3. The remaining
thickness of the affected area under discontinuities and of repaired ground areas shall not be less
‘than Ihe minimum thickness as specified in the appropriate tolerance standard.
Subclass 1. Repair by chipping and/or grinding followed by welding is permitted in compliance with 6.3.3.2.
Subclass 2. Repair by welding is only permitied if agreed at the time of the order and under agreed conditions
(522 6.3.3.5).
Subslass 3 Repair by welding is not allowed.
‘The required class and subclass Is specified in the appropriate material or product standard. If this is not the
case the class and subclass shall be class A and subclass 1 unless otherwise specified at the time of the
order.
6 Requirements
6.1 Depth and affected area of discontinuities
The requirements of EN 10163-1 apply.
6.2 Repair requirements
624 Class A
6.2.4.4 Imperfections
6.2.1.1.1 Discontinuities other than cracks, shell and seams (see 6.2.1.2.3) not exceeding the limits of Table 1
are regarded as being inherent of the manufacturing process and are permissible irrespective of their number.
A surface area with discontinuities within the limits of Table 1 but with @ remaining thickness under the
discontinuities less than the minimum thickness as specified in EN 10029 and EN 10051 is permissible with a
maximum of 15 % of the inspected surface.
