11 Modification to 9.1, “General”
9.1 shall read as follows:
“9.1 General
The rules in Clause 9 shall take account of loading due to external pressure.
9.1.1 External calculation pressure
The external pressure to be taken into account for calculation purpose shall be the maximum external
pressure under operating conditions, or test conditions whichever is the greater.
Where internal pressure may decrease below atmospheric pressure due to fluid cooling, the external
pressure to be used in calculation shall be equal to:
— 1 bar for single piping subject to external pressure; or
— the pressure between the two jackets, plus 1 bar for jacketed piping.
If pressure relief devices are fitted and where internal pressure may decrease below atmospheric
pressure due to fluid cooling, the external pressure to be used in the calculation shall be at least the set
pressure of the device.
9.1.2 Exception from verification against external pressure
For piping operating with external pressure not exceeding 1 bar, a check of design adequacy shall not be
required where the following requirements are met:
— piping made of carbon steels or low alloy steels at a temperature less than or equal to 150 °C, or made
of austenitic steel at a temperature less than or equal to 50 °C; and
— where e/D ≥ 0,01; and
o
— where out-of-roundness, u (see EN 13480-4:2017, 7.4.1), is less than or equal to 1 %, and local flat
deviation is less than or equal to e.
9.1.3 General acceptance criteria
The thickness of a component under external pressure shall be not less than the thickness required by
this standard for similar components under the same internal pressure using a joint coefficient of 1, (i.e.
without any joint coefficient) or the thickness required by Clause 9 whichever is the greater.
There are two additional acceptability criteria which need to be checked for pipes / pressure vessels
subjected to external pressure:
a) Sufficient safety margin against linear buckling: The existing external pressure p shall be smaller
than the theoretical limit of stability of the perfect shape of the piping p divided by a safety factor of
m
k = 3.0.
m
pp≤ / k (9.1.3-1)
mm
The pressure p may be calculated using the formulas given below for the piping elements or by
m
linear buckling analysis (bifurcation load).
b) Sufficient safety against over-stresses due to imperfections (e.g. ovalization). The existing external
pressure p shall be smaller than pressure p at which the mean circumferential stress in the shell
yo
reaches yield point of material divided by a safety factor of k = 1.5.
y
pp≤ / k  (9.1.3-2)
yo y
The pressure p shall be calculated taking into account the initial out of roundness of the piping as
yo
well as the increase of the imperfections due to the external pressure. The calculation can be done
using the provisions of this chapter or using a detailed (e.g FE) analysis including the effects of
geometric distortion under pressure (geometric nonlinearity / large deformation) and the material
nonlinearities in case of piping subject to external pressure in the creep range.
The allowable deviation from the design shape shall be specified on the drawing or in associated
documents.
The joint coefficient of welds shall not be taken into account.
Stiffening rings and other features used as stiffeners shall extend and be completely attached around
the circumference. Any joint shall be so designed as to develop the full stiffness of the ring. Where
internal stiffening rings arranged with local spaces between the shell and the ring are used (see
Figure 9.1-1), in no case shall the length of the unsupported shell plate exceed the piping
circumference divided by the coefficient (4 n ).
cyl
Intermittent welds shall not be used where crevice corrosion can occur.
