The North Sea and Arctic regions can reach sub-zero temperatures. Standard structural steel can become brittle in the cold. EN 10225-1 mandates rigorous Charpy V-notch impact testing to ensure the steel remains ductile and absorbs energy without fracturing, even at temperatures as low as -40°C or lower depending on the grade.
: Charpy V-notch impact tests are typically required at low temperatures (e.g., negative 40 raised to the composed with power C negative 50 raised to the composed with power C Through-Thickness Ductility en 10225-1 pdf
EN 10225-1 PDF applies to weldable fine grain steels used for the construction of offshore structures, including platforms, pipelines, and other equipment. The standard covers steels with a specified minimum yield strength up to 460 MPa and a thickness up to 100 mm. The standard is intended for use by manufacturers, designers, and fabricators of offshore structures, as well as by inspection and testing organizations. The North Sea and Arctic regions can reach
