Scope

What is BS EN 16090 about?   BS EN 16090 is a safety standard on copper and copper alloys.   BS EN 16090 specifies a method for the estimation of the average grain size of copper and copper alloy products by ultrasound.    BS EN 16090 is applied for seamless round tubes as well as for flat products.   Note: When using this test by ultrasound technique, it is important to recognize that the estimation of grain size is not a precise measurement because a metal structure is an aggregate of three-dimensional crystals of varying sizes and shapes. Clearly, no two areas of observation can then be exactly the same.  Who is BS EN 16090 for?    BS EN 16090 on estimating average grain size by ultrasound is relevant to:   Copper industries BS EN 16090:2019 history
