EN 10255 standard includes a variety of pipe end finishing and coating options, and also specifies the minimum wall thickness for each type of pipe, which helps protect the pipe from damage during transportation and use, as well as the use of weak pipes in construction projects or damaged tubing. In addition, pipes shall be manufactured by seamless or longitudinally welded processes.
This passage will show you the BS EN 10255 steel pipe specification. Read on to learn more.
