Stahl und Eisen: Gütenormen 4/2

Steel and iron: Quality standards 4/2
Mechanical engineering/toolmaking — Tubes for mechanical engineering, tool steel and steel casting

(Please note: This product is only available in German.)

Boiler tubes and precision steel tubes, hydraulic tubes, rolled and drawn tubes — the variety of steel and iron tubes available is enormous. Due to the wide range of applications, there are a large number of standards, which include the technical delivery conditions for various tubes in particular. This DIN Taschenbuch 404/2, now in its 3rd edition, brings together the most important documents on the subject of tubes for mechanical engineering and adds the logically related standards on tool steel and cast steel.

Across 500 pages, users will find a wealth of knowledge on standards for tubes — especially technical delivery conditions — which are frequently required in professional practice in mechanical engineering and toolmaking.

18 up-to-date standards provide information and specifications in the following areas, among others:

• Steel castings
• Hollow bars for machining
• Welded and seamless steel tubes
• Tubes made of alloyed and unalloyed steels
• Austenitic manganese steel castings
• Tool steels

DIN Taschenbuch 404/2 contains a list of other standards that are printed in the associated DIN Taschenbuch 28 and DIN Taschenbuch series 401 to 405, as well as additional relevant documents.
 

Comprehensive collection of standards in the field

With “Steel and Iron: Quality standards 4/2”, experts receive a compact reference work in a handy format, with which they have the technical delivery conditions for their products at their fingertips. The great success of the proven previous editions shows that there is a need for it. The 3rd edition provides the following:

• 3 revised documents
  A new material and material-specific welding group designations have been added to DIN EN 10283 on corrosion-resistant steel castings. New steel grades have been added to DIN EN 10305-3 on welded cold sized tubes and adjustments have been made to the dimensions, thickness and limit dimensions, while DIN EN ISO 4957 on tool steels — the only international standard adopted by Europe in this compendium — has been expanded to include a new delivery condition and an additional Clause on sorting and reprocessing.
   
• 18 up-to-date documents
  Over 500 pages containing 18 cutting-edge documents representing the current state of technology and standardization. They contain the collated expertise and the most important technical delivery conditions for steel tubes for mechanical engineering.
   
• Overview of other important standards
  DIN Taschenbuch 28 and DIN Taschenbuch series 401 to 405 offer further documents for the specialist area; this DIN Taschenbuch 404/2 provides a clear list of these.

An index makes it easier to find the document you are looking for.
