Foreword
This document (EN 10028-3:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 22 Steels for pressure
purposes - Qualities, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by December 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by December 2009.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes EN 10028-3:2003.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for flat products for pressure equipment made of weldable fine
grain steels as specified in Table 1.

NOTE 1 Fine grain steels are understood as steels with a ferritic grain size of 6 or finer when tested in accordance with
EN ISO 643.

The requirements and definitions of EN 10028-1:2007 + A1:2009 also apply.

NOTE 2 Once this European Standard is published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) under Directive 97/23/EC, presumption of
conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 97/23/EC is limited to technical data of materials in this
European Standard (Part 1 and this Part 3 of the series) and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of
equipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical data stated in this material standard against the design requirements
of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 97/23/EC are satisfied, needs to be done.

8 Requirements

8.1 Steelmaking process

See EN 10028-1:2007 + A1:2009.

8.2 Delivery condition

8.2.1 Unless otherwise agreed at the time of enquiry and order (see 8.2.3), the products covered by this document
shall be supplied in the normalized condition.

For steels with a minimum yield strength 460 MPa, delayed cooling or additional tempering may be necessary for
small product thicknesses and in special cases. If such a treatment is performed, this shall be noted in the
inspection document.

8.2.2 Normalizing may, at the discretion of the manufacturer, be replaced with normalizing rolling for the
steel grades P275NH, P275NL1, P275NL2, P355N, P355NH, P355NL1 and P355NL2 (see 3.1 in EN 10028-
1:2007 + A1:2009). In this case, additional tests on simulated normalized samples with an agreed frequency of
testing may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order to verify that the specified properties are complied with.

8.2.3 If so agreed at the time of enquiry and order, products covered by this document may also be
delivered in the untreated condition.

In these cases, testing shall be carried out in the simulated normalized condition (but see 8.2.1).

NOTE Testing in a simulated heat treated condition does not discharge the processor from the obligation of providing proof
of the specified properties in the finished product.

8.2.4 Information on welding is given in EN 1011-1 and EN 1011-2.

NOTE Excessive post weld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions can decrease the mechanical properties. When in stress
relieving the intended time temperature parameter
-3
P = Ts (20 + lg t) x 10 ,
where

Ts is the stress relieving temperature in K and

t is the holding time in hours,

exceeds the critical value Pcrit. of

17,3 for all steel grades except P460NH, P460NL1 and P460NL2
16,7 in the case of steel grade P460NH and
16,3 in the case of steel grades P460NL1 and P460NL2,
the purchaser should in his enquiry and order inform the manufacturer accordingly and, where appropriate, tests on
simulated heat treated samples may be agreed to check whether after such a treatment the properties specified in
this European Standard can still be regarded as valid.

8.3 Chemical composition

8.3.1 The requirements of Table 1 shall apply for the chemical composition according to the cast analysis.

8.3.2 The product analysis shall not deviate from the specified values for the cast analysis as specified in Table 1
by more than the values given in Table 2.

8.3.3 A maximum value for the carbon equivalent in accordance with Table 3 may be agreed upon at the time
of enquiry and order.

values are specified (see Table 6, footnote d).

8.4.2 If agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the minimum proof strength Rp0,2 values at elevated temperature
specified in Table 5 for the P...NH grades may also apply to the PNL1 and P...NL2 grades.

Annex A
(normative)

Evaluation of resistance to hydrogen induced cracking

The tests to evaluate the resistance of steel products to hydrogen induced cracking shall be performed in
accordance with EN 10229. The acceptance criteria for the test solution A (with pH 3) apply for the classes
indicated in Table A.1 where the given values are mean values from three individual test results.

Test solution B (with pH 5) and corresponding acceptance criteria may be agreed at the time of enquiry and
order.

Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of EU Directive 97/23/EC

This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to Essential Requirements of the New
Approach Directive 97/23/EC.

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive and has been
implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this standard
given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the
corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
