20、mplement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerl
21、and and the United Kingdom. BS EN 13958:2008EN 13958:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form of round aluminium and aluminium alloys porthole extruded and cold drawn tubes with an outside diameter (OD) of over 2 mm up to and including 50 mm supplied
22、in coil form or in straight lengths cut from coiled material: see Figure 1. This European Standard mainly applies to round cold drawn tube for general engineering applications manufactured in 1xxx series of aluminium and 3xxx series of alloys. The use of this European Standard for non-standardised 1
23、xxx aluminium and 3xxx alloys or alloys from other series, e.g. 5xxx or 6xxx, is subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser. This European Standard only applies to: round tube extruded by the porthole/bridge method in coil form and then cold drawn to the final dimensions required; tube as a
24、bove but delivered in straight lengths cut from coiled material. This European Standard does not apply to: seamless extruded (die/mandrel method) and drawn tubes (EN 754-7); tubes extruded in straight lengths (i.e. not coiled) and drawn (EN 754-8). 2 Normative references The following referenced doc
25、uments are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

28、:2008 (E) 5 4 Ordering information The order document shall contain the following: a) form and type of product: form of the product - porthole extruded tube, cold drawn in coil form or straight lengths, reference to EN 573-3 for chemical composition limit, reference to EN 515 for temper designation,
29、 any special requirements identified by the purchaser; b) reference to EN 754-2 for mechanical property limit; c) reference to this document (EN 13958); d) dimensions of the tube: length (where appropriate), and only two of the following dimensions: outside diameter, inside diameter, wall thickness;
30、e) coil characteristics (where appropriate): inner coil diameter (often fixed/standardised), outer coil diameter, width/height of coil, coil weight limitations, drum/bobbin dimensions (where appropriate); f) quantity: mass, number of pieces, total length, tolerance on quantity; g) any requirements f
31、or inspection documents; h) any special requirements agreed between supplier and purchaser: marking of products, e.g. special identification, BS EN 13958:2008EN 13958:2008 (E) 6 references to drawings, part numbers, etc., additional or special testing, surface finish requirements, surface protection
32、, packaging, use of A50mmvalue instead of A value for elongation; i) where special requirements are specified, this shall be stated on the order document with reference to the relevant European Standards. 5 Requirements 5.1 Production and manufacturing processes Unless otherwise specified in the ord
33、er document, the production and manufacturing processes shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer. Unless it is explicitly stated in the order document, no obligation shall be placed on the manufacturer to use the same processes for subsequent similar orders. 5.2 Quality control The suppli
34、er shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection and tests required by the relevant European Standard and/or the particular specification prior to shipment of the product. If the purchaser wishes to inspect the product at the manufacturers works, he shall notify the supplier at the time
35、 of placing the order. 5.3 Chemical composition limits The chemical composition limits shall be in conformity with the requirements specified in EN 573-3. If the purchaser requires closer limits for elements than those specified in EN 573-3, these limits shall be according to an agreement between su
36、pplier and purchaser and stated in the order document. 5.4 Mechanical properties The mechanical properties shall be in conformity with those specified in EN 754-2 or those agreed between supplier and purchaser and stated in the order document. Typical Brinell hardness (mainly used for flat surfaces,
37、 i.e. basically not suitable for round tubes/non-flat surfaces) values are given in EN 754-2, but they are not binding for acceptance purposes. However, a Brinell hardness value may be agreed upon for acceptance testing. 5.5 Surface quality 5.5.1 Surface quality in general The surface shall be free
38、from defects prejudicial to its suitable and proper use. The reference standards shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser. The product shall have a smooth and clean surface. However, small surface defects such as light scratches, indentations, discolouration and non-uniform surface appearance
39、resulting from the manufacturing process (which cannot always be totally avoided) are generally permitted on the product surface. Such surface quality is commonly referred to as “normal quality”. BS EN 13958:2008EN 13958:2008 (E) 7 A greater degree of tolerance of surface defects (in respect to both
40、 the number and severity) is normally necessary for tube supplied in coil form compared to straight lengths, since it is not possible to remove individual defects within the coil. This issue should be taken into account by the purchaser when placing an order for coiled tube. 5.5.2 Surface defects an
41、d detection In the case of stricter and more specific requirements than “normal quality”, the following shall be subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser and stated in the order document: testing/detection method (e.g. eddy current testing, pressure/leak testing etc.); type (scratches, de
42、nts etc.) and size of defects; method of marking the defects (e.g. ink, paint). 5.5.3 Surface lubrication A surface lubricant may be provided if required to: prevent the occurrence of fretting corrosion during transport; reduce the risk for surface defects created during subsequent manufacturing pro
43、cesses (e.g. decoiling, straightening, cutting, tube manipulation etc.); improve the resistance to surface failures related to surface damage resulting from improper handling and/or storage (e.g. water stains, condensation etc.). As the type and amount of lubrication can have an impact on the follow
44、ing manufacturing process and the final application, the type and amount of lubricant shall be subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser and stated in the order document. 5.6 Coil characteristics 5.6.1 Coil dimensions The following coil dimensions shall be subject to agreement between supp
45、lier and purchaser and stated in the order document: the outside diameter, inside diameter and maximum width/height or weight of the coil; in the case of coils to be supplied on drums/bobbins, the dimensions of the drum/bobbin shall also be specified. 5.6.2 Type of coil winding The type of coil wind
46、ing (random or level winding) can be of importance to the subsequent manufacturing process (e.g. decoiling, straightening etc.) and shall in such cases be subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser and stated in the order document. 5.7 Additional requirements Any additional requirements sha
47、ll be agreed between supplier and purchaser and stated on the order document. BS EN 13958:2008EN 13958:2008 (E) 8 6 Tolerances on dimensions 6.1 General When the outside diameter OD, inside diameter ID, and wall thickness t are all specified, see Figure 1, standard tolerances shall apply to any two
48、of these dimensions, but not to all three. As a result, the purchaser shall state only two nominal dimensions on any given order. Key OD Outside diameter ID Inside diameter t Wall thickness Figure 1 Round tube 6.2 Diameter (outside and/or inside) Mean diameter is defined as the average of two diamet
49、er measurements taken at right angles to each other at any point along the tube length. Ovality is defined as the measured difference between the individual maximum and minimum diameters at any point in the cross section (usually occurs at or about right angles to each other) and at any point along the tube length. The maximum allowable deviations on diameter are given in Table 1. BS EN 13958:2008EN 13958:2008 (E) 9 Table 1 Maximum allowable deviations on diameter (OD and
