The standard covers fittings intended for the transmission of fluids and gases up to specified pressure and temperature limits.
Available in "Black" (self-colored) or "Galvanized" (hot-dip zinc coated). Performance Limits
Standard fittings under BS EN 10242 typically adhere to the following operating parameters: Pipe Standards & Specifications - Crane Fluid Systems
Elements are threaded according to ISO 7-1 (jointing threads) or ISO 228-1 (fastening threads).
Primarily malleable cast iron (e.g., grade EN-GJMB-350-10). Thread Sizes: Sizes range from inches (DN 6 to DN 150).
The standard specifies requirements for the design and performance of threaded pipe fittings manufactured from malleable cast iron . It is the current European standard that replaces previous national standards like BS 143 and BS 1256 for most common malleable iron fittings.
