Overview

SIST EN 10213:2008/kprA1:2015 is a European standard developed by CEN, specifically by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 111, focusing on steel castings for pressure purposes. This standard establishes updated regulations and specifications for the production, testing, and inspection of steel castings designed to withstand pressure applications. It serves as a key reference for manufacturers and engineers involved in pressure vessel and equipment design, ensuring safety, quality, and compliance with EU directives and essential requirements.

The 2014 amendment (prA1) to the original EN 10213:2007 includes modifications to normative references, chemical composition limits, testing protocols, non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, and introduces new steel grades with detailed technical properties. The standard is published in English, French, and German and is intended for adoption by all CEN member countries, supporting harmonization in steel casting for pressure applications across Europe.

Key Topics

• Material Specification
  SIST EN 10213:2008/kprA1:2015 covers a range of steel castings suited for pressure purposes with a focus on chemical composition, including updated grades such as GX12CrMoVNbN9-1, and their respective mechanical properties.

• Designations and Chemical Composition
  The standard updates include revised chemical composition limits and the introduction of new steel grades to accommodate modern engineering requirements for pressure equipment.

• Inspection and Testing

  • Substantial revisions have been made to non-destructive testing (NDT) methods including radiographic, penetrant, and magnetic particle testing adhering to updated standards such as EN ISO 19232-1:2013 and EN ISO 3452-1:2013.
  • The standard clarifies inspection procedures, test sample preparation, test unit definitions, and invalidation criteria of tests.
  • Mechanical testing requirements incorporate tensile, impact, and proof strength testing at elevated temperatures, reflecting the operational conditions of pressure equipment.

• Welding and Heat Treatment
  Welding groups and corresponding preheat, interpass, and post-heat treatment temperature recommendations have been expanded. The standard gives detailed guidance for welding practices to maintain steel casting integrity during manufacturing and repair.

• Technical Data Tables
  Tables within the standard provide comprehensive data including chemical compositions, mechanical properties, heat treatment parameters, thermal and magnetic properties, and long-term strength at elevated temperatures, facilitating engineering design choices.

Applications

SIST EN 10213:2008/kprA1:2015 is integral for various industrial domains requiring high-performance steel castings resistant to pressure. Typical applications include:

• Pressure Vessels - Steel castings designed per the standard are used for manufacturing components of boilers, reactors, and storage tanks operating under high pressure.
• Petrochemical and Chemical Industries - Components such as valves, pumps, and flanges benefit from the standard’s strict requirements to handle corrosive and pressurized fluids safely.
• Energy Sector - Castings used in power generation equipment, including turbines and heat exchangers, rely on the standard for ensuring material durability and safety under stress.
• General Engineering - Any application where steel castings must maintain mechanical integrity and safety under internal or external pressure conditions can adopt this standard for guidance.

Related Standards

SIST EN 10213:2008/kprA1:2015 references and aligns with several other key standards relevant to steel casting and pressure equipment manufacturing:

• EN ISO 11970:2007 - Specification and approval of welding procedures specifically for steel castings.
• EN ISO 19232-1:2013 - Radiographic testing, image quality determination.
• EN ISO 3452-1:2013 - Penetrant testing principles.
• EN 1370:2011 - Examination of surface condition for foundry castings.
• FprEN 1559-2:2014 - Heat treatment for steels used in pressure applications.
• EN 287-1:2011 - Approval testing of welders, which complements the welding requirements in EN 10213.

These interconnected standards support the comprehensive framework for producing safe, reliable steel castings intended for use under pressure and high-temperature conditions.
