Butt-welding pipe fittings - Part 1: Wrought carbon steel for general use and without specific inspection requirements

This European Standard specifies requirements for steel butt-welding fittings (elbows and return bends, concentric and eccentric reducers, equal and reducing tees, dished ends and caps) made of wrought carbon steel and delivered without specific inspection. The fittings described in this European Standard do not fulfil specific design requirements; consequently they cannot be considered as conforming to the Essential Requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (Directive 97/23/EC of 29.05.1997).

Formstücke zum Einschweißen - Teil 1: Unlegierter Stahl für allgemeine Anwendungen und ohne besondere Prüfanforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen für Formstücke zum Einschweißen aus unlegiertem Stahl ohne besondere Prüfanforderungen (Rohrbogen, konzentrische und exzentrische Reduzierstücke, T-Stücke mit gleichem Abzweig und mit reduziertem Abzweig, gewölbte Böden, Klöpperform und Korbbogenform) fest. Formstücke nach dieser Europäischen Norm erfüllen keine spezifischen Anforderungen an die Auslegung; man darf daher nicht davon ausgehen, daß sie die wesentlichen Sicherheitsanforderungen der Druckgeräterichtlinie (Richtlinie 97/23/EG vom 29.05.1997) erfüllt.

Raccords a souder bout a bout - Partie 1: Acier au carbone pour usages généraux et sans contrôle spécifique

La présente norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions concernant les raccords à souder bout à bout (à savoir: coudes, réductions concentriques et excentriques, tés égaux et réduits, fonds bombés et caps) en acier au carbone, livrés sans contrôle spécifique. Les raccords décrits dans la présente norme européenne ne respectent pas d'exigences de conception spécifiques; en conséquence, ils ne peuvent pas être considérés comme satisfaisant aux Exigences Essentielles de la Directive Equipements sous Pression (Directive 97/23/EC du 29.05.1997).

Overview

EN 10253-1:1999 - Butt-welding pipe fittings - Part 1: Wrought carbon steel for general use and without specific inspection requirements (CEN) specifies requirements for a range of butt-welding pipe fittings manufactured from wrought carbon steel and delivered without specific inspection. The standard covers common fittings such as elbows, return bends, concentric and eccentric reducers, equal and reducing tees, dished ends and caps. Note: fittings made to this part do not fulfill specific design requirements and therefore cannot be considered to meet the Essential Requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (Directive 97/23/EC).

Key topics

  • Scope of materials: Requirements apply to wrought carbon steel fittings intended for general use.
  • Fitting types covered: Elbows, return bends, concentric and eccentric reducers, equal and reducing tees, dished ends and caps designed for butt-welding.
  • Delivery condition: Fittings are supplied without specific inspection requirements (general delivery basis rather than PED-level design verification).
  • Limitations: Explicitly states fittings do not meet the Essential Requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive - important for pressure-system compliance and certification.
  • Manufacturing focus: Standardizes the types and general acceptance criteria for butt-weld fabrication and supply of carbon steel pipe fittings for non-specific inspection contexts.

Practical applications

  • Industrial piping for general service where codes requiring PED-level design verification are not applicable.
  • Fabrication and plant construction where standard butt-weld fittings in carbon steel are required for low-to-moderate duty piping systems.
  • Replacement and maintenance parts procurement for systems that do not demand specific inspection or pressure-equipment certification.
  • HVAC, drainage, and general utility piping where material and fitting geometry conform to standard butt-weld joining techniques.

Who uses this standard

  • Pipe and fitting manufacturers producing wrought carbon steel butt-welding fittings for general supply.
  • Piping designers and engineers specifying fittings for non-PED applications.
  • Procurement and quality teams selecting or accepting fittings delivered without specific inspection.
  • Fabricators and welders who need to understand the scope and limitations of supplied fittings.

Related standards

  • Other parts of the EN 10253 series (for fittings supplied with specific inspection or different material/inspection classes) and applicable pressure-equipment regulations (e.g., Directive 97/23/EC) should be consulted when fittings are intended for pressure-bearing applications or when certification is required.
