SIST EN 10240:1998 - Internal and/or external protective coatings for steel tubes - Specification for hot dip galvanized coatings applied in automatic plants

Overview

EN 10240:1997 is a European Standard published by CEN that defines the requirements and test criteria for hot dip galvanized coatings applied in automatic plants to steel tubes. The standard covers protective coatings applied to steel tubes and hollow sections intended for gas and water (including potable water) installations, working scaffolds and general structural applications. It applies to tubes produced in automatic galvanizing lines and clarifies scope for “pipe” and “hollow section” geometries.

Key Topics

  • Scope and applicability - which types of steel tubes and end-uses are covered (gas, water, potable water, scaffolding, structural).
  • Coating requirements - general requirements for hot dip galvanized coatings applied in automatic plants to ensure consistent protection and manufacturability.
  • Testing and conformity - specifies required tests and acceptance criteria to verify coating performance and quality.
  • Production context - addresses coatings applied in automated galvanizing lines rather than fabricated or repair-galvanized tubes.
  • Terminology and definitions - clarifies terms such as “pipe”, “hollow section” and what is meant by automatic plant application.

(Note: the standard itself contains the detailed technical rules and test procedures. This summary does not reproduce those technical specifics.)

Applications

EN 10240 is relevant wherever hot dip galvanized steel tubes are specified for long-term corrosion protection in these practical areas:

  • Water distribution and plumbing - tubes and pipes used in gas and water networks, including potable water systems where compatibility and hygiene are considerations.
  • Scaffolding systems - working scaffolds and temporary structures that require robust, consistent galvanizing for safety and longevity.
  • Structural steelwork - hollow sections and tubes used in building frames, railings, and other structural components needing corrosion protection.
  • Manufacturers and galvanizers - producers of steel tubes and automated galvanizing plants use the standard to control production quality.
  • Specifiers and engineers - structural and civil engineers, procurement teams, and project specifiers reference EN 10240 when defining material acceptance criteria.
  • Testing laboratories and conformity assessors - ensure finished tubes meet the standard’s testing and acceptance requirements.

Related Standards

  • prEN 1029 - referenced for galvanized coatings on fabricated steel tubes (separate specification).
  • National adoptions: example SIST EN 10240:1998 (Slovenian adoption) follows EN 10240:1997 requirements.

Keywords: EN 10240, hot dip galvanized coatings, steel tubes, galvanized coatings, automatic plants, potable water, scaffolding, structural applications, pipe, hollow section.

Water quality - Determination of nitrate in water using small-scale sealed tubes - Part 1: Dimethylphenol colour reaction (ISO 23696-1:2023)
oSIST prEN ISO 23696-1:2025

This document specifies a method for the determination of nitrate as NO3-N in water of various origin such as natural water (including groundwater, surface water and bathing water), drinking water and wastewater, in a measuring range of concentration between 0,10 mg/l and 225 mg/l of N03-N using the small-scale sealed tube method. Different measuring ranges of small-scale sealed tube methods can be required.
The measuring ranges can vary depending on the type of the small-scale sealed tube method of different manufacturers.
It is up to the user to choose the small-scale sealed tube test with the appropriate application range or to adapt samples with concentrations exceeding the measuring range of a test by preliminary dilution.
NOTE 1   The results of a sealed-tube test are most precise in the middle of the application range of the test.
Manufacturers' small-scale sealed tube methods are based on dimethylphenol colour reaction depending on the typical operating procedure of the small-scale sealed tube used, see Clause 9.
NOTE 2   Laws, regulations or standards can require that the data is expressed as NO3- after conversion with the stoichiometric conversion factor 4,426 81 in Clause 11.
NOTE 3   In the habitual language, use of sewage treatment and on the displays of automated sealed-tube test devices, NO3 without indication of the negative charge has become the common notation for the parameter nitrate and especially for the parameter nitrate-N. This notation is adopted in this document even though not being quite correct chemical nomenclature.

Determination of the characteristic limits (decision threshold, detection limit and limits of the coverage interval) for measurements of ionizing radiation - Fundamentals and application - Part 3: Applications to unfolding methods (ISO 11929-3:2025)
oSIST prEN ISO 11929-3:2025

The ISO 11929 series specifies a procedure, in the field of ionizing radiation metrology, for the calculation of the “decision threshold”, the “detection limit” and the “limits of the coverage interval” for a non-negative ionizing radiation measurand when counting measurements with preselection of time or counts are carried out. The measurand results from a gross count rate and a background count rate as well as from further quantities on the basis of a model of the evaluation. In particular, the measurand can be the net count rate as the difference of the gross count rate and the background count rate, or the net activity of a sample. It can also be influenced by calibration of the measuring system, by sample treatment and by other factors.
ISO 11929 has been divided into four parts covering elementary applications in ISO 11929-1, advanced applications on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008/Suppl 1:2008 in ISO 11929-2, applications to unfolding methods in this document, and guidance to the application in ISO 11929-4.
ISO 11929-1 covers basic applications of counting measurements frequently used in the field of ionizing radiation metrology. It is restricted to applications for which the uncertainties can be evaluated on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (JCGM 2008). In ISO 11929-1:2025, Annex A, the special case of repeated counting measurements with random influences is covered, while measurements with linear analogous ratemeters, are covered in ISO 11929-1:2025, Annex B.
This document deals with the evaluation of measurements using unfolding methods and counting spectrometric multi-channel measurements if evaluated by unfolding methods, in particular, for alpha- and gamma‑spectrometric measurements. Further, it provides some advice on how to deal with correlations and covariances.
ISO 11929-4 gives guidance to the application of the ISO 11929 series, summarizes shortly the general procedure and then presents a wide range of numerical examples.
ISO 11929 Standard also applies analogously to other measurements of any kind especially if a similar model of the evaluation is involved. Further practical examples can be found, for example, in ISO 18589[7], ISO 9696[2], ISO 9697[3], ISO 9698[4], ISO 10703[5], ISO 7503[1], ISO 28218[8], and ISO 11665[6].
NOTE            A code system, named UncertRadio, is available for calculations according to ISO 11929- 1 to ISO 11929-3. UncertRadio[35][36] can be downloaded for free from https://www.thuenen.de/en/institutes/fisheries-ecology/fields-of-activity/marine-environment/coordination-centre-of-radioactivity/uncertradio.The download contains a setup installation file which copies all files and folders into a folder specified by the user. After installation one has to add information to the PATH of Windows as indicated by a pop‑up window during installation. English language can be chosen and extensive “help” information is available.

Liquid petroleum products - Determination of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content in middle distillates - Infrared spectrometry method
SIST EN 14078:2026

This document specifies a test method for the determination of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content in diesel fuel or domestic heating fuel by mid-infrared (IR) spectrometry and a transmission sample cell, which applies to FAME contents of the three measurement ranges as follows:
-   range A: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 0,05 % (V/V) to approx. 3 % (V/V);
-   range B: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 3 % (V/V) to approx. 20 % (V/V);
-   range C: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 20 % (V/V) to approx. 50 % (V/V).
Principally, higher FAME contents can also be analysed if diluted; however, no precision data for results outside the specified range is available at present.
This test method was verified to be applicable to samples which contain FAME conforming to EN 14214. Reliable quantitative results are obtained only if the samples do not contain any significant amounts of other interfering components, especially esters and other carbonyl compounds which possess absorption bands in the spectral region used for quantification of FAME. If such interfering components are present, this test method is expected to produce higher values.
NOTE 1   For the purposes of this document, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction (φ) of a material.
NOTE 2   For conversion of grams FAME per litre (g FAME/l) to volume fraction, a fixed density for FAME of 883,0 kg/m3 is adopted.
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
