Some standards are written for a limited application. An example of this is the EN10225 standard, a European standard for weldable (carbon) steel in fixed, offshore structures, intended for use in the North Sea area. Very limited, but still divided into four categories, with the third – EN 10225-3 – specifically intended for hot-formed pipes, both seamless and HF welded. This standard was developed in part by European steel producers, so the technical requirements were already proven to be achievable in advance. And the specialists at Bumaco even played a role in the introduction of the first edition of this standard!!
For your information ... the North Sea is not only between England and the Netherlands, but covers the entire area between the Netherlands, Denmark, the southern part of Norway, and Great Britain. And the surface area of about 575,000 km² accommodates hundreds of drilling and production platforms!
It would be too simple to compare this standard to a “normal” construction standard. An impact test at -40 ֯C or lower, ultrasonic testing and a transverse tensile test, a 3.2 certificate ... these are all requirements intended to withstand the influence on the strength of a structure from extreme weather, currents, and wave action. After all, you simply cannot compare a work or drilling platform at sea with a shopping center or barn in the countryside.
EN 10225-3 may be a “limited” standard, but for Bumaco it is just as important as any other standard.
That is what you call “a different standard”
EN 10225-3 steel grades are used in demanding offshore environments, where structural integrity and resistance to harsh weather conditions are crucial.
For the construction of support structures for drilling platforms, production platforms, or wind turbine foundations in maritime environments.
For underwater applications, such as pipeline systems, manifolds, risers, and support structures.
In foundations of wind turbines, such as monopiles and jackets, where structural integrity is crucial under dynamic loads and saltwater corrosion.
Between different parts of offshore installations, for example bridges or connections between platforms.
Like helicopter decks, cranes, and other equipment mounted on offshore structures.
In situations where material behavior at low temperatures and under shock loading is crucial for the safety and reliability of the installation.
