Overview
EN 13445-2:2002/prA4 is a CEN draft amendment (Part 2: Materials) for the European standard EN 13445 - Unfired pressure vessels. This draft amendment focuses on material-related provisions used to prevent brittle fracture and to define requirements for weld production test plates. Note: the work item for prA4 was abandoned and its content exists in prA5 - users should consult the latest published amendment or prA5 for the final text. The draft is linked to EU Directive 97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive) via informative Annex ZA.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Material requirements for unfired pressure vessels, with an emphasis on fracture prevention and production testing for welds.
- Brittle fracture prevention (Annex B): Normative requirements addressing how to mitigate brittle fracture risk in pressure vessel materials.
- Weld production test plates: The amendment revises clause B.4.3 by deleting previously cited temperature/thickness thresholds and clarifies that:
- The weld production test plate shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13445-4:2002, clause 8 (welding requirements).
- Impact energy requirements of method 1 or method 2 must be met (the amendment retains the need for impact testing but defers detailed procedure/values to EN 13445-4).
- Regulatory relationship: The amendment supports essential requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and points users to Annex ZA for conformity context.
Practical applications and users
Who uses this standard:
- Pressure vessel designers and mechanical engineers specifying materials and weld procedures.
- Welding engineers and fabricators responsible for producing weld test plates and meeting impact test requirements.
- Inspection and quality assurance personnel enforcing material acceptance criteria and fracture prevention measures.
- Notified bodies and compliance officers assessing conformity with PED (97/23/EC).
Practical value:
- Guides selection of materials and welding test methods to reduce brittle fracture risk in unfired pressure vessels.
- Ensures welding production tests are performed to harmonized European procedures (referencing EN 13445-4).
- Helps manufacturers and conformity assessors align documentation and testing with EU regulatory requirements.
Related standards
- EN 13445-4 (Welding) - referenced for weld production test plate procedures and impact testing methods.
- EN 13445-1/3/5 etc. - other parts of EN 13445 for design, fabrication and inspection of unfired pressure vessels.
- EU Directive 97/23/EC (PED) - legal framework for pressure equipment conformity (see Annex ZA).
For implementation, always consult the most recent published EN 13445 parts and amendments (including prA5) and national transpositions to ensure up-to-date requirements.
