Overview of BS 6323 Part 5
BS 6323 Part 5 is a British Standard that specifies the requirements for seamless and welded steel tubes used in mechanical and engineering applications. These tubes are typically used in high-pressure environments where structural integrity and reliability are essential. The standard covers various aspects such as material composition, dimensions, mechanical properties, and testing procedures to ensure quality and performance.
Standard Length Tolerances for BS 6323 Grade CFS 5 Tubes
| Component length (mm) | OD 30–100 mm | OD 100–254 mm |
|---|---|---|
| 10–100 | +1.0/-0 | +2.0/-0 |
| 100–600 | +2.0/-0 | +3.0/-0 |
| 600–1200 | +3.0/-0 | +4.0/-0 |
| 1200–5000 | +5.0/-0 | +6.0/-0 |
Chemical Composition of BS 6323 Part 5
Mechanical Properties of BS 6323-5
The yield strength of 350 MPa ensures that the tube can withstand significant stress before permanent deformation occurs. This makes it ideal for use in structures that require consistent strength under load. The tensile strength of 540 MPa further enhances its durability, allowing it to handle heavy loads without failure. Additionally, the material exhibits good ductility, making it suitable for bending, forming, and other manufacturing processes without cracking or losing structural integrity.
