I am trying to find out what the following German specification means"

DIN EN 10305-3 E195 +CR1

Request for Question Clarification by denco-ga on 01 Dec 2005 11:56 PST
Howdy crackedpot-ga,

I am posting this as a request for clarification so as to make sure it
fits your needs.

DIN and EN are standards references.  "EN 10305-3" tolerances are
referenced here, on page 6.
http://www.ruukki.com/rr_web/rr_icc.nsf/(images)/Metform_Brochures_English/$File/Stainless_Tubes_ENG_lock.pdf?OpenElement

"Tolerances (in accordance with standard EN 10305-3 for precision tubes)

Outside diameter, D [mm]
20 <= D < 32  ±0.15mm
32 <= D < 44  ±0.20mm
44 <= D < 55  ±0.25mm
...
Wall thickness, T  ±10% of nominal thinckness
Length, L  0/+50mm
Straightness  0.20% of total tube length
..."

There is also this reference:
http://www.thyssenkrupp-ferrosta.cz/en-tubes.php

"2394 10305-3 Welded and sized precision steel tubes
...
Quality according to EN norm: E195 ..."

And another:
http://www.t-m-handel.de/engl/pdf/Tm.pdf

"Further Tube Categories  DIN-Standard  EN-Standard  Grade-DIN  Grade-EN
...
Welded cold sized [tube] Precision 2394 10305-3 St 34-2 BKM E195+CR1"

According to this chart, E195 steel is the same as US standard 1010 steel.
http://www.steeltubestrade.net/tech_standards.php

This page has the properties of 1010 steel.
http://www.suppliersonline.com/research/property/metals/809.asp

"CS 1010 is a plain carbon steel with a nominal 0.10% carbon content. It
is a relatively low strength steel but it may be quenched and tempered for
increased strength."

CR1 is mild steel, but in this context (+CR1) might be a (Chrome?) finish.

If the above will do as an answer for you, I will post it as such.  Thanks!

The CR1 is the odd spec here.  I would suppose it means some type of
chrome addition, but if so, how much; if not, what does it mean?

Howdy crackedpot-ga,

Much thanks to Myoarin for filling in the last piece of the puzzle.

From his comment, we have this reference:
http://www.mhptubes.de/englisch/1-pics-tubes/1700_geschweisst-engl.pdf

Pages 6 and 7 of the above gives us this:

"...
Table 4a: Mechanical properties at room temperature for ... +CR1

Steel grade   Minimum values for the delivery condition(1)

1) Rm: tensile strength; ReH: upper yield strength; A: elongation after
fracture.
2) Depending on the degree of cold forming the strip material and
sizing the as welded tube, the yield strength may nearly be as high as
the tensile strength. For calculation purposes yield strength values of
ReH =0.7 Rm are recommended in the +CR1 condition.
3) The mechanical properties and the technological properties of the
weld zone may, in the case of the delivery conditions +CR1 and +A,
differ from those of the base material.
...
Table 5: Technical delivery conditions

                                  suitable for final annealing.
...
Tubing which has not been heat treated, +CR1, +CR2 (BKM) delivery
conditions, usually exhibits a process-related, adhering film of
lubricant both internally and externally. The removal of this
film is subject to special agreement."

Much thanks for accepting this as an answer, crackedpot-ga,

Here is the breakdown of your specifications, DIN EN 10305-3 E195 +CR1.

"EN 10305-3" tolerances are referenced on page 6, on this document on the
website of the Helsinki, Finland based company, Ruukki.
http://www.ruukki.com/rr_web/rr_icc.nsf/(images)/Metform_Brochures_English/$File/Stainless_Tubes_ENG_lock.pdf?OpenElement

"Tolerances (in accordance with standard EN 10305-3 for precision tubes)

Outside diameter, D [mm]
20 <= D < 32  ±0.15mm
32 <= D < 44  ±0.20mm
44 <= D < 55  ±0.25mm
...
Wall thickness, T ±10% of nominal thickness
Length, L  0/+50mm
Straightness, 0.20% of total tube length
..."

There is also this reference, from the Czech company, ThyssenKrupp Ferrosta.
http://www.thyssenkrupp-ferrosta.cz/en-tubes.php

"2394 10305-3 Welded and sized precision steel tubes
...
Quality according to EN norm: E195 ..."

And another reference, this one from the German Thyssen Mannesmann Handel.
http://www.t-m-handel.de/engl/pdf/Tm.pdf

"Further Tube Categories  DIN-Standard    EN-Standard  Grade-DIN   Grade-EN
...
Welded cold sized [tube]  Precision 2394  10305-3      St 34-2 BKM E195+CR1"

According to this chart on the "Tube & Pipe Logistics Trade" website ("one
of the best organized databases in the pipe & tube industry's logistics
worldwide"), "E195" steel is the same as US standard 1010 steel.
http://www.steeltubestrade.net/tech_standards.php

"Base steel ... E195 ... 2394 ... St 34-2 ... 1010"

This "Metal Suppliers Online" page has the properties of 1010 steel.
http://www.suppliersonline.com/research/property/metals/809.asp

"CS 1010 is a plain carbon steel with a nominal 0.10% carbon content. It
is a relatively low strength steel but it may be quenched and tempered for
increased strength."

Much thanks to the comment by Myoarin that fills in the last piece of the
puzzle, the +CR1 specification.  From his comment, we have this reference
from the Germany based MHP Mannesmann Präzisrohr GmbH company website.

I suggest that you look at the referenced documents for the details in the
specifications.

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.

Perhaps this site can help Denco:
http://www.mhptubes.de/englisch/1-pics-tubes/1700_geschweisst-engl.pdf

The "+CR1"  is mentioned on page 7.

For some reason, the HTML file is quite different, but may be more explicit.
As usual, the chain is long:
http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:2JO7GouNZJgJ:www.mhptubes.de/englisch/1-pics-tubes/1700_geschweisst-engl.pdf+DIN+EN+10305-3+E195+%2BCR1&hl=en

The site was the first hit when I searched on the DIN number, perhaps
because my German computer and software have a special affinity to
Deutsche Industrie Norm.
