The sampling procedures and the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requirements of this European Standard are also specified. NOTE Tubes having an outside diameter less than 80 mm and/or a wall thickness greater than 2 mm in certain alloys are most frequently used for free machining purposes which are specified in EN 12168. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards using the designation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same. 4.1.3 Number The material number designation is in accordance with the system given in EN 1412. 4.2 Material condition For the purposes of this standard, the following designations, which are in accordance with the system given in EN 1173, apply for the material condition: M material condition for the product as manufactured without specified mechanical properties; R. material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with mandatory tensile property requirements; H. material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory hardness requirements. NOTE 1 Products in the H. condition can be specified to Vickers or Brinell hardness. The material condition designation H. is the same for both hardness test methods. S (suffix) material condition for a product which is stress relieved. SIST EN 12449:2012



EN 12449:2012 (E) 9 NOTE 2 Products in the M, R. or H. condition can be specially processed (i.e. mechanically or thermally stress relieved) in order to lower the residual stress level to improve the resistance to stress corrosion (see 6.5.2). Exact conversion between the material conditions designated R. and H. is not possible. Except when the suffix S is used, material condition is designated by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product is conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level with regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard. The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard. The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of:  denomination (Tube);  number of this European Standard (EN 12449);  material designation, either symbol or number (see Tables 1 to 8);  material condition designation (see Tables 9 to 15);  nominal cross-sectional dimensions, either outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness or inside diameter (ID) and wall thickness (see 6.3). The derivation of a product designation is shown in Example 1. EXAMPLE 1 Tube conforming to this standard, in material designated either CuNi10Fe1Mn or CW352H, in material condition H075, nominal outside diameter 22 mm, nominal wall thickness 2,0 mm, shall be designated as follows: Tube EN 12449 — CuNi10Fe1Mn — H075 — OD22 ×××× 2,0

In addition, the purchaser shall also state on the enquiry and order any of the following, if required: h) whether the tubes are for sea water application (see Table 3). If so, the composition limits required; i) test method to be used for the measurement of hardness, i.e. Vickers or Brinell (see 8.3); j) where dimensional tolerances are to be applied, if not on the outside diameter and wall thickness (see 6.3.1); k) whether the tubes are required to pass a drift expanding test (see 6.5.1); l) whether the tubes are required to pass a stress corrosion resistance test (see 6.5.2); m) whether the tubes are required to meet a grain size requirement (see 6.5.3); if so, the grain size limits required; NOTE 2 The grain size limits should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. n) whether the tubes are required to pass freedom from defects tests (see 6.5.4); if so, which test method is to be used (see 8.5), if the choice is not to be left to the discretion of the supplier, and the acceptance criteria if they are not to be left to the discretion of the supplier; o) whether deburring is required (see 6.4); p) whether special surface quality is required (see 6.4); q) whether a declaration of conformity is required (see 9.1); r) whether an inspection document is required, and if so, which type (see 9.2); s) whether there are any special requirements for marking, packaging or labelling (see Clause 10).

The tests shall be carried out in accordance with either 8.2 (tensile test) or 8.3 (hardness test). Products in stress relieved condition shall conform to the same mechanical property requirements as for non stress relieved material. 6.3 Dimensions and tolerances 6.3.1 General The geometrical properties of the tubes are defined by outside diameter or inside diameter, wall thickness and length. Normally, tolerances for cross-sectional dimensions are applied on the outside diameter (see 6.3.2) and wall thickness (see 6.3.3) but other possibilities may be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier at the time of the enquiry and order [see Clause 5, list entry j)]. Normally, tubes are supplied in lengths with tolerances agreed between the purchaser and the supplier at the time of the enquiry and order [see Clause 5, list entry g)] but tubes may be ordered as "fixed lengths" (see 6.3.4). 6.3.2 Outside or inside diameter The diameter of the tubes shall conform to the tolerances given in Table 16. 6.3.3 Wall thickness The wall thickness, measured at any point, shall conform to the tolerances given in Table 17. 6.3.4 Fixed lengths Tubes in straight lengths ordered as "fixed lengths" shall conform to the tolerances given in Table 18. Tubes in coiled form ordered as "fixed lengths" shall conform to the tolerances given in Table 19. SIST EN 12449:2012



EN 12449:2012 (E) 12 6.3.5 Tolerances on form 6.3.5.1 Deviation from circular form For tubes in straight lengths the deviation from circular form is included in the tolerances on diameter given in Table 16. For coiled tubes with wall thicknesses up to and including 2 mm, except for tubes with ratios of outside diameter to wall thickness greater than 20, the deviation from circular form is included in the tolerances on diameter given in Table 20. 6.3.5.2 Straightness Tubes in straight lengths, except for those in the annealed condition (see Tables 9 to 15) or with outside diameter equal to or less than 10 mm, shall conform to the tolerances given in Table 21. 6.4 Surface quality The external and internal surfaces shall be clean and smooth. The tubes may have a superficial film of drawing lubricant or, if annealed or thermally stress relieved, a superficial, dull, iridescent oxide film, securely adherent on both the internal and external surfaces. Discontinuous irregularities on the external and internal surfaces of the tubes are permitted if they are within the dimensional tolerances. Special requirements (e.g. pickling, degreasing, etc.) relating to the surface quality shall be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier [see Clause 5, list entry p)]. If deburring of the cut ends of the tubes is required it shall be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier [see Clause 5, list entry o)]. 6.5 Technological requirements 6.5.1 Drift expanding No crack shall be visible to the unaided eye, corrected for normal vision if necessary, when tubes in the annealed condition and outside diameter up to and including 100 mm and when agreed between the purchaser and the supplier [see Clause 5, list entry k)] are tested in accordance with 8.4.1. 6.5.2 Residual stress level No crack shall be visible to the unaided eye, corrected for normal vision if necessary, when tubes in the stress relieved condition and when requested by the purchaser [see C
