Baker in bakrove zlitine - Nevarjene okrogle bakrene cevi za medicinske pline ali vakuumske sisteme

Ta evropski standard določa tolerance mer in oblike za hladno vlečene nevarjene cevi iz aluminija in aluminijeve zlitine z zunanjim premerom (OD) od 3 mm do 350 mm (okrogla cev, glej sliko 1) ali s presekom v odprtini (CD) velikosti od 8 mm do 300 mm (neokrogla cev, glej sliko 2), dobavljene v ravnih presekih.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja samo za cevi, izdelane z metodo iztiskovanja s celim utopom/trnom (ki so nato hladno vlečene do zahtevane končne mere).
Oznake za popuščanje, uporabljene v tem delu, so skladne s standardom EN 515.
Ta dokument se uporablja za hladno vlečene nevarjene cevi za splošno tehnično uporabo.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za:
– hladno vlečene cevi, izdelane z metodo iztiskovanja z večdelnimi matricami/mostičkom (EN 754-8),
– cevi, dobavljene v navojih (EN 13958),
– navojne cevi, razrezane po dolžini (EN 13958).

[SOURCE: EN 1057:2006+A1:2010, 3.10] 4 Designations 4.1 Material 4.1.1 General The material is designated either by symbol or number (see 6.1). 4.1.2 Symbol The material symbol designation is based on the designation system given in ISO 1190-1. 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 European Standard, the following designation, which is in accordance with the system given in EN 1173, applies for the material condition (see Table 1): R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with mandatory tensile strength and elongation requirements. 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 European Standard shall consist of: — denomination (Copper tube); — number of this European Standard (EN 13348); — material condition designation (see Table 1); — nominal cross-sectional dimensions in millimetres: Outside diameter × wall thickness. The derivation of a product designation is shown in the following example. EXAMPLE Copper tube conforming to this European Standard, in material condition R290 (hard), nominal outside diameter 12 mm, nominal wall thickness 1,0 mm, shall be designated as follows: kSIST FprEN 13348:2015
