3.33
factory made
pre-insulated
thermal insulation applied in a factory
3.34
factory made joint thermal insulation
factory made elements of thermal insulation used in the joint
3.35
fatigue strength
stress range or deformation range of constant magnitude which, under given circumstances, just causes
fatigue failure
3.36
fitting
reducer, T-piece, bend, dished head (cap)
3.37
fitting assembly
factory made product consisting of at least one fitting, thermal insulation and casing
3.38
fixing bars
steel plates in twin pipe systems used for bonding of flow and return pipes, to eliminate differences in
expansion between the flow and the return pipe in a straight pipe section
3.39
force-controlled action
action which maintains its magnitude irrespectively of the deformation of the structure
Note 1 to entry: Examples of force-controlled action are internal pressure, pipe-weight and top load from soil and
traffic.
3.40
forged T-piece
T-piece manufactured by hot forming of either steel pipes or steel plates which are subsequently welded
together
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 7 for a forged T-piece.
