1. Field of application
1.1 This standard applies to hot rolled products in the form of flats (plate, strip, wide flats), sections and bars of weldable fine grain structural steels exhibiting, in the as delivered
condition as specified in subclause 7.2.1. minimum yield strengths of 255 to 500 n/mm referred to the lowest thickness range as specified in table3.
If the products of steels covered by this standard ard made or used for plants subject to reqular inspection, the relevant codes of practice, e.g. Technische Regeln Druck. behalter
(TAB) (Technical rules on pressure vessels),
Technische Regeln fur Dampfkessel (TRD) (Technical rules on steam boilers), Merkblatter fur Arbeitsgemeinschaft Druckbehaler (AD-Merkblatter) (Instruction sheets o the
pressure vessel study group), Technische Regeln fur brennbare Flussigkeiten (TRbF) (Technical rules on flammable liquids), Technishe Regeln Drukgase (TRGl) (Technical rules on
high pressure gas pipelines) shall be observed. The same applies to other fields of application for which additional specifications exist.
1.2 This standard does not apply to hot rolled fine grain steels for cold forming as covered by Stah ( EisenWerkstoffblatt (lron and steel material sheet)092, nor to hollow sections,
tubes and forgings of weldable fine grain structural steels.
1.3 In addition to the specifications of this standard. the general technical delivery conditions for steel contained in DIN 17010 shall apply except where stated to the contrary
below.
