Automatically blast-cleaned and automatically prefabrication primed structural steel products
This European Standard specifies requirements for automatically blast-cleaned and automatically
prefabrication primed structural steel products.
This European Standard does not cover manual blast cleaning and/or manual spray painting.
NOTE Where the steel is less than 5 mm thick, care should be exercised to ensure it is not deformed by blast
cleaning.
Automatisch gestrahlte und automatisch fertigungsbeschichtete Erzeugnisse aus Baustählen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an automatisch gestrahlte und automatisch fertigungs-beschichtete Stahlerzeugnisse aus Baustählen fest. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für manuell gestrahlte und/oder manuell beschichtete Erzeugnisse. ANMERKUNG Bei Erzeugnissen mit Dicken kleiner als 5 mm sollte der Strahlvorgang vorsichtig durchgeführt werden, damit sichergestellt ist, dass die Erzeugnisse nicht deformiert werden.

Overview
SIST EN 10238:2009 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies requirements for automatically blast-cleaned and automatically prefabrication primed structural steel products. This standard covers the processes involved in mechanically cleaning steel surfaces and applying corrosion protection primers using automated methods, excluding manual blast cleaning and painting techniques. It aims to ensure consistent quality and protect steel components during processing, transport, and storage.
The standard applies to various structural steel products including plates, beams, channels, angles, hollow sections, and tees. It defines preparation grades, surface roughness categories, primer types, and testing methods to guarantee optimal performance of steel components in construction and engineering applications.
Key Topics
Automatic Blast Cleaning: The process utilizes mechanical plants with turbines that uniformly project abrasive materials to clean steel surfaces without manual intervention. Special care is required for steel thinner than 5 mm to prevent deformation.
Automatic Prefabrication Priming: Following blast cleaning, a thin, uniform coating of prefabrication primer is applied automatically via reciprocating paint guns. This primer provides temporary corrosion protection and facilitates easier handling during fabrication and transport.
Prefabrication Primer Types:
- Epoxy with iron oxide (EPF)
- Polyvinyl butyral with iron oxide (PVBF)
- Alkyd with iron oxide (AKF)
- Acrylic with iron oxide (AYF)
- Epoxy with zinc dust (EPZ)
- Ethyl-silicate with zinc dust (ESIZ)
Typical dry film thickness is 20 µm ± 5 µm, though specifications can be adjusted per purchaser requirements.
Surface Preparation and Roughness: The standard specifies a minimum surface cleanliness of Sa 2 ½ based on EN ISO 8501-1, with optional roughness classes (Fine, Medium, Coarse) defined according to EN ISO 8503-2.
Inspection and Testing: Compliance is verifiable through inspection documents per EN 10204. Primer thickness measurement follows EN ISO 2808 using dial gauge methods, with test pieces affixed during processing.
Handling and Storage: Recommendations emphasize preventing mechanical damage-such as impact, rubbing, or dragging-and advise indoor storage on supports to prevent moisture contact and water stagnation.
Flame Cutting and Weldability: If required, primer coatings are evaluated according to EN ISO 17652 series to ensure compatibility with welding and thermal cutting processes, including assessment of fume emissions and toxicities per national regulations.
Applications
SIST EN 10238:2009 applies to a broad range of structural steel products used in:
- Building construction and civil engineering projects
- Fabrication of steel frameworks, girders, and supports
- Transport and storage of steel components prior to final assembly
- Situations requiring consistent surface protection against corrosion during manufacturing and logistics
- Projects demanding documented quality control for steel surface preparation and coating
This standard helps manufacturers, fabricators, and purchasers ensure that steel products meet uniform quality criteria, prolonging service life and reducing rework due to surface defects or corrosion.
