EN 10272:2016 — Stainless Steel Bars for Pressure Purposes
Procurement reference for hot- and cold-formed stainless steel bars used in the construction of pressure equipment.
This MNK-G.S.A page is an original procurement summary. It does not reproduce or replace the protected EN publication.
Scope in Procurement
- EN 10272:2016 specifies technical delivery conditions for hot- and cold-formed stainless steel bars intended for pressure-equipment construction.
- The inquiry must identify the steel designation, process route, surface finish, section, dimensions and inspection requirements.
- Use of a material standard does not by itself demonstrate suitability for a specific pressure item. The designer’s code, service conditions and subsequent manufacturing processes remain controlling.

Ordering Controls
- Exact EN steel name, material number and edition
- Bar section, diameter or dimensions and length
- Hot-formed or cold-formed route and surface finish
- Pressure-equipment code, service temperature and corrosion environment
- Mechanical, impact, corrosion, NDT and supplementary requirements
- EN 10204 document, traceability, quantity and destination
Edition control: the purchase order, approved material specification and current authorised standard govern the supply. The designation alone does not prove grade, form, design-code or project compliance.
