All tubes less than or equal to 42 mm diameter shall be subjected to the eddy current test described in 8.6.
f
For tubes greater than 42 mm diameter, a method of non-destructive testing, if required, shall be agreed
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
z
7 Sampling
b
For the purposes of demonstrating conformity to the dimensional requirements of this standard and the
requirements of 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4, the sampling rate shall be at least one sampling unit for each 3 000 kg or for
each production batch whichever is the smaller.
.
NOTE Results may be used from analyses carried out at an earlier stage of manufacturing the product, e.g. at the casting
or billets inward stage, if the material identity is maintained and if the quality management system of the manufacturer is
w
certified as conforming to EN ISO 9001.
w
8 Test methods
8.1 Analysis
w
Analysis shall be carried out on the test samples obtained in accordance with clause 7. The analytical methods
used shall be chemical or spectrographic in accordance with appropriate European or international standards.
In cases of dispute, the reference method shall be by chemical analysis.
8.2 Tensile test
The tensile test shall be carried out in accordance with the method given in EN 10002-1, on test pieces
prepared from the test samples obtained in accordance with clause 7.
8.3 Hardness test
When required, the Vickers hardness test shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 6507-1.
© BSI 2006
Page 11
EN 12735-1:2001
8.4 Drift expanding test
The drift expanding test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10234. The outside diameter of the tube
end shall be expanded by 30 % using a conical mandrel with an angle of 45°.
8.5 Residue test
Use a minimum length of tube of 1 500 mm to perform the test.
m
Close one end of the tube test piece and pour in suitable solvent, to one eighth of its capacity. Close the other
end of the test piece and agitate the tube, in order to clean thoroughly the whole of its internal surface. Open
one end of the tube and pour the solvent into a clean beaker. Open the other end to ensure all solvent is
o
removed. Evaporate the solvent and dry the beaker in an oven at 100 °C to 110 °C for 10 min. Cool the beaker
in a desiccator and weigh it.
c
Carry out a blank test using the same quantity of solvent. Subtract the value obtained in the blank test from the
value obtained in the residue test and calculate the mass per unit area of internal surface.
.
The quantity of solvent used may vary with the size of the tube being examined. The quantity of solvent used
for the blank test shall be the same as that used for the actual examination of the tube sample.
w
For a reference test trichlorethylene shall be used.
NOTE For routine controls in the course of quality assurance procedures, other methods may be used as an alternative.
x
8.6 Eddy current test
f
The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1971.
The reference standard tube shall contain holes produced from the drill diameters in Table 5.

Signals produced by reference standard tubes set the sorting limits for acceptance or rejection. Tubes
containing defects which produce signals equal to or greater than the sorting limit shall be rejected.
w
8.7 Retests
In the event that the tube sample fails to meet the test requirements, the batch represented by the tube
sample or, in the case of continuous production, all tubes manufactured since the previous check, shall be
placed in a bond.
Further samples shall be taken from the bonded tubes at a sampling rate four times more frequent than
specified in clause 7. If any of the retest samples fail to meet the specification requirements, the tubes
represented by the samples shall be deemed not to meet the requirements of this standard and shall be
rejected. If all the retest samples meet the requirements, the tubes represented by the samples shall be
deemed to meet the requirements of this standard.

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of EU Directive 97/23/EC
m
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
o
Approach Directive 97/23/EC.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Communities under that Directive and has
c
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.
.
For this harmonized supporting standard for materials, presumption of conformity to the Essential
Requirements of the Directive is limited to technical data of the material in the standard and does not presume
w
adequacy of the material to specific equipment. Consequently the technical data stated in the material
standard should be assessed against the design requirements of the specific equipment to verify that the
Essential Requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) are satisfied.
