Overview
EN 1592-2:1997 is the CEN standard that specifies the mechanical properties for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys manufactured as HF seam welded tubes (high-frequency seam welded) intended for general engineering applications. This Part 2 addresses mechanical property limits and applicability; it is not applicable to irrigation or heat exchanger tubes. Chemical composition and alloy classification are covered by companion standards.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Applies to HF seam welded aluminium tubes for general engineering uses.
- Excludes irrigation tubes and heat exchanger tubes.
- Mechanical property limits
- Defines mechanical property requirements (tensile/strength-related limits, yield and elongation parameters - as specified in the standard) for applicable alloys.
- Mechanical property limits are given for all Class A alloys as defined in EN 573-4.
- Referenced material specifications
- Chemical composition limits are referenced from EN 573-3.
- Temper designations and their definitions are referenced from EN 515.
- Conformance and testing
- The standard sets the basis for acceptance criteria and verification of mechanical performance of HF seam welded tubes (see standard for exact test methods and limit values).
