European Standards (EN) for Stainless Steel and Welding Materials: A Comprehensive Guide
The creation of the EEC (European Economic Community) has made it necessary to establish common standards named "European Norms" (EN), therefore standardizing the common language across Europe. Since 1988 a new series of 'mandatory' European standards (EN) has been created, to replace national standards, such as BS, DIN, SS and NF, throughout 18 countries of Western Europe.
European standards for metalic materials: Part One
This comprehensive guide presents European standards for metallic materials, focusing on specifications for steel and metal products. The standards cover a wide range of materials and applications, including seamless and welded steel pipes, wire products, forgings, sheets, strips, and casting specifications. The document provides detailed technical requirements, delivery conditions, and quality specifications for various metallic materials used in industrial applications.
European standards for metalic materials: Part Two
In the table of standards for mechanical testing of metallic materials: methods for static and dynamic mechanical testing, methods for non-destructive testing of metallic materials and methods for chemical analysis of ferrous materials are presented.
This article provides a detailed overview of Chinese national standards (GB standards) for various metal materials used in engineering and construction. The GB designation system represents "Guojia Biaozhun" (national standard) specifications issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC).
GOST standards, originating in the Soviet era, have played a vital role in establishing material specifications across a wide range of industries. These standards continue to influence manufacturing and engineering practices in Russia and several neighboring countries.
