Material: steel
— Service data:
Normal service conditions:
— Internal pressure: 44 bar
— Maximum temperature: 50 °C
— Minimum metal temperature: -20 °C
— Liquid group 1, density: 0,54
— Pressure loading predominantly of non-cyclic nature
There are not exceptional service conditions.
PED 97/23/CE regulation applies.
The calculation of all components is performed by formulas (DBF: Design By Formula). According to the specified
operating conditions, the pressure vessel is neither subjected to fatigue nor to creep.
It is supposed that there is only a risk of atmospheric corrosion during operation of the vessel. Thus, a corrosion
allowance of 3 mm is added.

3.3 PED 97/23/CE Category
The maximum allowable pressure PS used as a first approach is 44 bar and the fluid is a liquid of group 1.
The category which applied for the target vessel is category II as defined in Clause 3 paragraph 1.1(b) of the PED
which indicates the use of Table 3 of Annex II of PED to set the category.

The extracts from the EN 13445 Standard clauses which are the most relevant at each step of the example are
reproduced in black frames. When necessary, the adequate requirements in these extracts are framed in red.
Other extracts of standards referenced in EN 13445 are reproduced, also in black frames, and the standard from
which they are extracted is mentioned. When necessary, the adequate requirements in these extracts are framed
in red.
4 Materials
4.1 General
EN 13445-2:2009 gives the minimum requirements to be fulfilled for steel entering the manufacturing of pressure
vessel. The informative Annex E of this standard references European materials usable for pressure vessel
manufacturing. The corresponding steel grades come from harmonized European standards. The Grouping
according to CEN ISO/TR 15608:2000 is also given for each grade.
The minimum requirements concern elongation, impact test and chemical composition. These requirements for
steel should ensure toughness and good behaviour of materials during manufacturing (weldability and forming).
Table 4.1-1 of this report summarizes some properties of the materials which have been chosen for fabrication of
the target vessel. This table shows how the requirements of EN 13445-2:2009 are fulfilled.
4.2 Minimum requirements for materials
4.2.1 General
The following clauses of EN 13445-2:2009 shall be fulfilled:
4.2.2 Minimum elongation
The requirements for minimum elongation are fulfilled by the chosen materials, see Table 4.1-1.

4.2.3 Impact test for ferritic steel
The requirements for impact test are fulfilled by the chosen materials, see Table 4.1-1. Requirements of Annex B of
EN 13445-2:2009 shall also apply; see 4.5 of this report.

Figure 3 — Abstract from EN 13445-2:2009
4.2.4 Chemical composition of selected grade
The requirements for chemical composition are fulfilled by the chosen materials, see Table 4.1-1, except for the
bolting grade 42CrMo4 (1.7225), but this product is not intended for welding or forming as stated in 4.1.7 of
EN 13445-2:2009. Indeed, following EN 10269:1999, EN 10269:1999+A1:2006, the specified chemical composition
for this grade of bolting is:
— %C: 0,38 to 0,45;
— % P: 0,035 max;
— % S: 0,035 max.

Figure 4 — Abstract from EN 13445-2:2009
4.3 Mechanical properties of the chosen materials
The selected grades and their appropriate properties are summarized in Table 4.1-1.
All the mechanical properties presented in this table are minimum values from transversal specimen and are
specified in the relevant technical specification. Transversal specimens are defined as specimen taken in a
direction perpendicular to the direction of principal deformation of the product (e.g. for flat products the transversal
direction is perpendicular to the rolling direction).
Since the minimum yield strength and tensile strength values are specified in the material technical specification as
a function of the product thickness the values to be used for the design of each specific component are not known
at first. They can be set only once the design calculations performed according to the relevant EN 13445-3:2009
rules have shown that the thickness assumed for calculation is acceptable. In some cases an iteration on the
thickness and the corresponding mechanical properties is necessary to get the correct values (see Clause 5 of this
report).
For determination of the material characteristics above 20 °C, the interpolation rules which apply are those defined
in 4.2.2 of EN 13445-2:2009:

4.4 Type of material certificate
4.4.1 PED requirements
Annex I paragraph 4.3 of the PED states that for the Category II main pressure-bearing parts of pressure
equipment, the material certificate shall be a certificate of specific control. In accordance with EN 10204:2004, this
certificate shall be, as a minimum, of type 3.1.
4.4.2 Type of certificate for pressure vessel components
Material certificate may be selected in accordance with EN 764-5:2002 which specifies the type of material
certificate to obtain from the material producer following the considered part (main pressure-bearing parts, pressure
parts other than main pressure-bearing parts or non pressure-bearing parts).

Figure 6 — Abstract from EN 764-5:2002
Figure 1 of EN 764-5:2002 below is useful to determine the type of certificate:


NOTE Edition of EN 10204:1991 is used for application of EN 764-5:2002 and edition of EN 10204:2004 is
used for application of EN 13445-2:2009. Type 3.1B of EN 10204:1991 is replaced by 3.1 of EN 10204:2004.
Types 3.1A and 3.1C is replaced by 3.2 of EN 10204:2004.
Figure 7 — Abstract from EN 764-5:2002

NOTE The type of certificate for the saddle support reinforcing plate could be of type 3.1 because the
material grade is chosen for being the same as for the cylindrical shell. To manufacture the reinforcing plate, the
vessel manufacturer could use a plate from the lot used to manufacture the cylindrical shell.
4.5 Prevention of brittle fracture
4.5.1 General
Annex B of EN 13445-2:2009 proposes three methods to prevent the risk of brittle fracture. The two first methods
are applied to the target vessel. The last one, Method 3, is not used because it would need to perform a complete
fracture mechanics analysis.
4.5.2 Method 1 (B.2.2 of EN 13445-2:2009)
4.5.2.1 General
As stated in B.2.2.1 of EN 13445-2:2009, Method 1 permits to select steels taken from harmonized European
standards. The assumptions are that T = T = T and the required toughness values shall be obtained after
R 27J KV
manufacturing.
4.5.2.2 Determination of test temperature T
KV
The Tables in B.2.2 give reference temperature T as a function of grade, reference thickness (depending on
R
whether PWHT is performed or not). Corresponding table for each product shall apply for each type of products.
Results corresponding to PWHT shall be taken into account (see 6.5.2 of this report):

Diagrams permit the determination of the impact test temperature T . The relevant ones shall be selected from
KV
Table B.2-13 of EN 13445-2: 2009 here-above.
The reference thickness e is determined from Table B.4-1 of EN 13445-2:2009. The way to obtain T from the
B KV
values of T and e in the relevant diagram is illustrated for each construction detail of the target vessel in
R B
Table 4.5.3.4.1-1 to Table 4.5.3.4.1-4 of this report.
There is no construction detail applying to longitudinal seam welds and to circumferential seam welds in the
cylindrical shell. In other words, the construction detail No.1 does not apply because it makes reference to butt
welded components of unequal thickness.
Therefore, for these welded joints, the reference thickness e is equal to the nominal thickness of the component,
B
i.e. 45 mm.
Then, Figure B.2-3 of EN 13445-2:2009 applies to derive T (see Table 4.5.3.4.1-1 below).

Figure 17 — Abstract from EN 13445-2:2009
It is not possible to determine T from T because the intersection point with the curve for 20 mm falls outside the
KV R
diagram.
If one assumes an impact test temperature T = 20 °C, the permitted T is -53,1 °C which is below the reference
KV R
temperature of the target vessel (-20 °C). Thus, the considered T value is confirmed and is equal to 20 °C.

Figure 21 — Abstract from EN 13445-2:2009
It is not possible to determine T from T because the intersection with the curve for 20 mm falls outside the
KV R
diagrams.
If one assumes an impact test temperature T = 20 °C, the permitted T for each part is the following:
KV R
— For the flange (Part A), two verifications shall be performed:
— the one by using Figure B.2-2: T = -25 °C,
R
— the other by using Figure B.2-1: T = -53,1 °C
R
— For the nozzle (Part B), by using Figure B.2-1: T = -53,1 °C

— For the weld, by using Figure B.2-2: T = -25 °C

Therefore, the reference temperature to retain is the greatest: T = -25 °C. This temperature is lower th
