This European Standard specifies particular requirements and testing procedures applicable to wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for the production of pressure equipment.
It includes:
- the products forms, grades and tempers of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys which may be used for such application, together with their permissible working temperature range;
- the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical property limits and tolerances on form and dimensions by reference to the applicable European Standards for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys;
- additional requirements specific to pressure vessel application.
It applies to hot-rolled or cold-rolled sheet, strip, plate and circle, extruded or extruded and cold drawn rod/bar and tube, extruded open and hollow sections, and forgings.
