Technical Standard EN 10238: Expert Overview
The European standard EN 10238 regulates strict technical requirements for structural steel products that have undergone automated abrasive blast cleaning followed by the application of an anti-corrosion primer coating. This specification is crucial for ensuring the quality of rolled products used in critical building structures.
It is important to note that the EN 10238 standard does not apply to metal products subjected to manual abrasive blasting or mechanical cleaning. The use of automated lines at EV Group China manufacturing facilities ensures compliance with the established parameters of surface cleanliness and protective layer adhesion.
Technological Process Features
When working with plate and section steel less than 5 mm thick, it is necessary to consider the risk of thermal and mechanical deformations under the influence of the abrasive stream. EV Group China specialists adhere to strict technological regulations to eliminate the risk of metal warping and maintain the geometric accuracy of the products during sandblasting.
