NOTE Stress relief annealing at more than 580 °C or for over one hour may lead to deterioration of the mechanical properties.
General requirements for welding of the products in accordance with this European Standard are given in EN 1011-1 and EN 1011-2.
NOTE 1 When welding these products, as product thickness, strength level and CEV increase, the occurrence of cold cracking in the welded zone forms the main risk. Cold cracking is caused by a combination of the following factors: high levels of diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal; a brittle structure in the heat affected zone; significant tensile stress concentrations in the welded joint. NOTE 2 By using guidelines, specified for example in EN 1011-1, EN 1011-2 or any other relevant standard, the recommended welding conditions and the various welding ranges for the steel grades can be determined. These will vary depending on the product thickness, the applied welding energy, the design requirements, the electrode efficiency, the welding process and the weld metal properties. 6.7.2 Suitability for hot dip galvanizing Option 1.4 the products shall be suitable for hot dip galvanizing. SIST EN 10210-1:2006

NOTE Dimensions, sectional properties and mass per unit length for a limited range of sizes of hot finished structural hollow sections are given in EN 10210-2. The purchaser should preferably select hollow section dimensions from this limited range of sizes. 7 Inspection

8.2 Preparation of samples and test pieces 8.2.1 Selection and preparation of samples for chemical analysis Samples for product analysis, when required shall be taken from the sample product or alternatively from test pieces used for mechanical testing or from the full thickness of the hollow section at the same location as for the mechanical test samples. The preparation of samples shall be in accordance with EN ISO 14284.
8.2.2 Preparation of test pieces for mechanical tests 8.2.2.1 General The requirements of EN ISO 377 shall apply in conjunction with the test piece location specified in 8.2.3. 8.2.2.2 Tensile test pieces The requirements of EN 10002-1 as appropriate shall apply. Test pieces may be non-proportional, but in cases of dispute proportional test pieces having a gauge length Lo = 5,65 √ So shall be used (see 9.2.2).
For thicknesses less than 3 mm, a gauge length of Lo = 80 mm shall be used, provided a test piece width of 20 mm can be achieved, otherwise a gauge length of 50 mm shall be used with a test piece width of 12,5 mm. 8.2.2.3 Impact test pieces Impact V-notch test pieces shall be machined and prepared in accordance with EN 10045-1. In addition, the following requirements shall apply: a) for specified thicknesses > 12 mm, standard test pieces shall be machined in such a way that one side is not further away than 2 mm from a rolled surface; SIST EN 10210-1:2006
longitudinally or transversely, at the discretion of the manufacturer, midway between the corners, and, for welded sections, from one of the sides not containing the weld (see Annex C). Option 1.8 longitudinal test pieces shall be taken from one of the corner regions, but remote from the weld in welded sections, (see Annex C). 8.2.3.2 Impact test pieces Test pieces for impact testing shall conform to the following: a) for circular or elliptical sections the test pieces shall be taken either longitudinally or transversely, at the discretion of the manufacturer, and, for welded sections, at a point remote from the weld (see Annex C); b) for square or rectangular sections the test pieces shall be taken either longitudinally or transversely, at the discretion of the manufacturer, midway between the corners, and, for welded sections, from one of the sides not containing the weld (see Annex C). Option 1.9 longitudinal test pieces shall be taken from one of the corner regions, but remote from the weld in welded sections, (see Annex C) with the notch orientated towards the outer radius of the corner. 9 Test methods 9.1 Chemical analysis The elements to be determined and reported shall be those given in Table A.1, and Option 1.2 if specified, or those in Table B.1, as applicable. The choice of a suitable physical or chemical analytical method for the analysis shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer. In case of dispute, the method used shall be agreed taking into account CR 10261. SIST EN 10210-1:2006
(ReH) shall be determined. If a yield phenomenon is not present, the 0,2 % proof strength non-proportional extension (Rp0,2) or the 0,5 % proof strength total extension (Rt0,5) shall be determined. In cases of dispute, the 0,2 % proof strength (Rp0,2) shall apply. If a non-proportional test piece is used, the percentage elongation value obtained after fracture (A) shall be converted to the value for a gauge length Lo = 5,65 √ So using the conversion tables given in EN ISO 2566-1. For thicknesses less than 3 mm, the percentage elongation may be reported for a gauge length of 80 mm or 50 mm (see 8.2.2.2). In this case the values to be achieved shall be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer at the time of enquiry and order. 9.2.3 Impact tests The impact test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10045-1. In addition, the following requirements shall apply: a) The average value of a set of three test pieces shall be equal to or greater than the specified value. One individual value may be below the specified value, provided that it is not less than 70 % of that value; b) If the conditions under a) are not satisfied then an additional set of three test pieces may be taken, at the discretion of the manufacturer, from the same sample and tested. To consider the test unit as conforming after testing the second set, the following conditions shall all be satisfied simultaneously: 1) The average value of the six tests shall be equal to or greater than the minimum specified value; 2) Not more than two of the six individual values may be lower than the minimum specified value; 3) Not more than one of the six individual values may be lower than 70% of the minimum specified value; c) If these conditions are not satisfied, the sample product is rejected and retests shall be carried out on the remainder of the test unit (see 9.5). 9.3 Visual inspection and dimensional check 9.3.1 Visual inspection The hollow sections shall be visually inspected for compliance with the requirements of 6.8. SIST EN 10210-1:2006
When the welds of welded structural hollow sections are to be subjected to non-destructive testing, the method shall be in accordance with 9.4.2 or 9.4.3. At the manufacturer’s discretion, the non-destructive testing may be carried out either on the circular shape prior to final forming or on the round, square, rectangular or elliptical hollow sections after final forming. 9.4.2 Electric welded sections The weld seam of electric welded hollow sections shall be tested in accordance with one of the following European Standards. The standard to be applied is at the discretion of the manufacturer. a) EN 10246-3 to acceptance level E4, with the exception that the rotating tube/pancake coil technique shall not be permitted; b) EN 10246-5 to acceptance level F5; c) EN 10246-8 to acceptance level U5. 9.4.3 Submerged arc welded sections
The weld seam of submerged arc welded hollow sections shall be tested either in accordance with EN 10246-9 to acceptance level U4 or by radiography in accordance with EN 10246-10 with an image quality class R2. Butt welds, used to join lengths of strip/plate together in the spiral submerged arc weld process, shall be permitted, provided that the butt weld is tested to the same type of procedure and meets the same acceptance level as the main weld seam. 9.5 Retests, sorting and reprocessing For retests, sorting and reprocessing the requirements of EN 10021 shall apply. 10 Marking 10.1 Except as provided for in 10.2 for hollow sections which are bundled, each hollow section shall be marked by suitable and durable methods such as painting, stamping, adhesive labels or attached tags with the following:
