Overview

EN 2590:2017 is a CEN aerospace series standard that defines the dimensions and dimensional tolerances for hot‑rolled steel sheets and plates used in aerospace constructions. The document specifies required characteristics, measurement methods and form tolerances to ensure consistent material geometry for design integration, manufacturing and quality assurance.

Key normative points include the reference steels used in aerospace applications, measurement locations and the method for flatness assessment. Thickness measurements are taken at least 20 mm from the edge, and flatness is measured with the sheet placed on a flat surface under its own mass.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose: Defines dimensional requirements for hot‑rolled steel sheets/plates intended for aerospace use (safety‑critical structural and non‑structural components).
  • Materials referenced: EN 2590 cites a set of aerospace steel specifications (examples: EN 2209, EN 2212, EN 2215, EN 2216, EN 2217, EN 2228 and others). These normative references identify steels and strength ranges covered by the dimensions and tolerances.
  • Thickness and mass per unit area: Typical sheet and plate sizes with mass values (calculated using density 7,85 kg/dm3):
    • Sheets (examples):
      • 1.2 mm → 9.4 kg/m²
      • 1.6 mm → 12.6 kg/m²
      • 2.0 mm → 15.7 kg/m²
      • 3.0 mm → 23.6 kg/m²
      • 6.0 mm → 47.1 kg/m²
    • Plates (examples):
      • 8 mm → 63 kg/m²
      • 10 mm → 78.5 kg/m²
      • 12 mm → 94 kg/m²
      • 15 mm → 118 kg/m²
  • Dimensional tolerances:
    • Thickness tolerances are tabulated and vary with thickness, material yield/strength (R in MPa) and sheet width.
    • Width and length tolerances are specified in tables; in practice widths and lengths can be left undefined by agreement, but where defined the standard gives tolerances and measurement methods.
  • Form tolerances:
    • Squareness: defined by difference of diagonals
    • Local straightness and flatness: includes measurement methods and limits (see clause on flatness; raised surface measured vs a reference line)
  • Designation: Product designation follows EN 2600 rules.

Applications

  • Procurement and specification of aerospace steels for sheet and plate supply
  • Production control and inspection criteria in manufacturing and supply chains
  • Design and assembly where dimensional interchangeability and fit are critical
  • Quality assurance, incoming inspection and acceptance testing

Related Standards

  • EN 2600 - Designation of metallic semi‑finished products
  • Referenced aerospace steel specifications (selected): EN 2209, EN 2212, EN 2215, EN 2216, EN 2217, EN 2228, EN 2246, EN 2250, EN 2273

Use EN 2590 to create clear procurement requirements, inspection plans and manufacturing controls for hot‑rolled aerospace steels.
