Wrought Iron Pipe Fittings BS EN 10241:2000

Wrought iron pipe fittings BS EN 10241:2000 are in the main used on process steam systems in our experience, this is mainly due to the fact that like us many businesses and engineers feel that malleable iron pipe fittings BS EN 10242:1995 are just not suitable for process steam.

For pressure and temperature, malleable iron fittings cover the requirements for low-pressure steam on the surface but because of the underlying issues such as entrained and non-discharged condense causing erosion and water hammer issues they just don’t last the course in our experience.

This is why we prefer to recommend wrought iron pipe fittings BS EN 10241:2000 for threaded process steam installations, this pipe fitting range will cover pressures to 25 bar and temperatures not exceeding 230°C. I hear the frustration from customers at the cost of using wrought iron pipe fittings BS EN 10241:2000 but what would it cost to cut a few corners than at a later date down the line for a steam leak or broken fitting to stop your production while you install what was recommended in the first place.

The few £s saved by using a less durable product will only bite you in the future and what you initially saved will be eclipsed by the loss of production costs and probably the accounts department blaming you for the job they asked you to shave the costs on. For truly well engineered and efficiently installed threaded process steam lines use wrought iron fittings BS EN 10241:2000 and good quality red heavy tube BS EN 10255:2004.
