Technical Dimensions, Wall Thickness & EN 10255 Standards
When evaluating international project submittals, pipeline engineers and QC officers prioritize compliance with structural and hydrostatic baselines. Our manufacturing processes fully align with, and exceed, the following mandatory criteria defined by the EN 10255 European Standard:
📦1. Dimensional Series & Tube Classification
EN 10255 non-alloy steel tubes are categorized based on their wall thickness, pressure ratings, and structural load capacities. We provide full-spectrum manufacturing across all official series:
Traditional Series: Includes Medium (M) and Heavy (H) series. These are the industry benchmarks for high-pressure fluid networks and standard fire sprinkler systems.
Light Series (Types): Includes Type L, Type L1, and Type L2. These series optimize wall thickness while maintaining certified test pressures, allowing for high cost-efficiency in precise engineering budgets.
📐 2. Structural Deviations & Dimensional Tolerances
Achieving leak-tight mechanical coupling and precise on-site fabrication requires strict geometry management.
Outside Diameter (OD) Tolerance: The standard enforces precise upper and lower limits for each nominal size to guarantee a perfect seal with mechanical couplings, flange joints, or threaded fittings.
Wall Thickness (WT) Tolerance:
For Medium (M) and Heavy (H) series, the specified negative deviation is strictly restricted within -12.5%.
For Light Series (L, L1, L2), the allowable tolerances are even more rigorous to ensure structural safety under reduced mass.
🔬 3. Mandatory Testing & Integrity Testing
Leak-Tightness Verification
Reliability is essential for pipes used in water, gas, compressed air, and fire protection systems. To ensure dependable field performance, every EN 10255 tube undergoes leak-tightness verification before leaving our facility.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing – Tubes can be tested at pressures up to 50 bar (5 MPa) to confirm leak-free performance.
Online Eddy Current Inspection – Advanced electromagnetic testing continuously monitors the tube body and weld seam for discontinuities and manufacturing defects.
Full Production Coverage – Every tube is verified through hydrostatic testing or electromagnetic inspection in accordance with EN 10255 requirements.
This comprehensive quality-control process helps ensure safe operation, long service life, and consistent performance in demanding industrial and construction applications.

Threaded & Grooved Solutions for EN 10255 Pipes
To satisfy diversified structural routing and fluid network installation criteria, our manufacturing matrix extends beyond standard tube mill extrusion. All supplementary fabrication processes are executed under strict geometric and thermal control to preserve the foundational mechanical thresholds mandated by EN 10255.
🔬 1. Precision Hot-Dip Galvanizing
When contracts specify a galvanized protective execution for localized fluid transport or open atmospheric exposure, zinc layer uniformity and adhesion are paramount.
The Technical Execution: Cleaned bare steel substrates undergo controlled immersion within our automated zinc bath. The metallurgical coating thickness and total zinc mass are precision-managed to strictly align with your specific contract criteria, project submittals, or designated international standards.
Metallurgical Integrity: This continuous thermal reaction creates a series of zinc-iron alloy layers topped with a pure zinc outer surface. The resulting total zinc coating mass and thickness are quantified via magnetic induction gauges and verified through accelerated laboratory Atmospheric Corrosion Simulation (Salt Spray Testing) to guarantee long-term resistance against zinc peeling or premature red rust propagation under high-humidity environments.
⚙️ 2. Threading & Mechanical Grooved Ends Sizing
For low-pressure gas lines, structural support bracing, or fire sprinkler configurations requiring rapid field jointing through traditional threaded couplings or mechanical roll-grooved coupling systems.
The Technical Execution: Pipe ends undergo high-speed CNC machining to generate precise tapered or parallel threads. The thread geometry, pitch, and coupling fitment are managed strictly to align with your specific contract criteria and international engineering benchmarks.
The Sizing Tolerance :During mechanical grooving operations, outer diameters and wall thicknesses are managed under strict ovalization and compression limits. The processing precision is engineered to align with your specific contract criteria, ensuring the structural integrity and mechanical sealing performance required for your designated coupling systems and field deployment.
✂️ 3. Flexible Cutting Solutions
Large-scale projects require precise cut-to-length processing to support efficient modular assembly and reduce on-site modification.
The Technical Execution: Depending on requirements, we apply mechanical sawing or laser cutting systems to achieve accurate fixed-length processing with millimeter-level control.
The Finishes Condition: Both methods minimize deformation at tube ends. Mechanical sawing ensures stable square-cut edges, while laser cutting provides higher precision for complex applications. All cuts meet high-precision industrial burr-free standards, facilitating seamless alignment for subsequent field fabrication.
Standard Seaworthy Packaging & Reliable Export Logistics
To support seamless port clearance and optimize freight efficiency up to the point of vessel loading, we enforce pragmatic cargo management, heavy-duty bundling, and strategic space utilization.
📋 1. Standard Mill Certification Verification
Project submittal and customs clearance require accurate documentation to cross-reference incoming steel tubes with laboratory evaluation records.
MTC: To guarantee absolute structural and chemical integrity, all production batches undergo multi-layered quality tracking and laboratory testing within our testing centers prior to leaving the mill. Upon shipment release, the official MTC conforming to EN 10204 3.1 is issued directly alongside your order documentation to fully verify chemical composition and mechanical compliance.
Customs Compliance: Dependent upon the stipulated Incoterms (such as FOB, CIF) and specific contract agreements, Yuantai Derun prepares and issues a standard suite of export documentation—including commercial invoices and packing lists. Any additional localized regulatory customs clearance documents can be coordinated strictly in alignment with your verified contract criteria.
📦 2. Optimized Freight Loading
International ocean freight operations dictate experienced load planning to maximize space utilization while strictly adhering to the statutory gross weight limitations of shipping lines and destination ports.
Stowage Planning: Our experienced logistics team manually calculates and coordinates loading sequences based on precise linear lengths and nominal diameters.
Operational Outcome: This practical arrangement balances total cargo volume against metric weight limits, minimizing structural shifting risks during ocean transit and optimizing freight cost-efficiency.
🛡️ 3. Structural Steel Strapping & Nested Loading
Our export bundling is engineered to optimize international shipping spaces while securing maximum cargo protection during maritime transit.
The Packaging Standard: Steel tubes are systematically organized into tight bundles and securely bound using high-strength structural steel strapping bands to prevent loose tube friction during transit.
Nested Loading: For strategic dimensional combinations, we utilize Nested Loading by inserting smaller diameter tubes into larger ones. This mechanical layout significantly enhances container space utilization, dramatically increasing the total freight volume per shipment and lowering the average ocean transport cost per metric ton.
