Foreword
This document (prEN 12007-3:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas
infrastructure”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12007-3:2000.
Annex D provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous
edition.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 ”Gas infrastructure“ to cover all
parts from the input of gas to the transmission system up to the inlet connection of the gas appliances,
whether for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes.
In preparing this standard a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed.
Gas infrastructure is complex and the importance on safety of its construction and use has led to the
development of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These
detailed statements embrace recognised standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed
by the legal structures of the member countries.

3.1 General requirements for selection of steel materials
3.1.1 General
Pipes and other pipeline components shall conform to the relevant European or International Standards.
Where such standards are incomplete, characteristics such as chemical and mechanical properties or
dimensions of the final product or manufacturing or test procedures shall be subject of agreement between
pipeline operator and manufacturer.
3.1.2 Base material
3.1.3 Pipes and other pipeline components shall be manufactured from fully killed steel. Quality level
The quality level as defined by the relevant standards for other pipeline components shall be compatible with
the quality level of the pipes.
EXAMPLE for welding and jointing purposes
Steel pipes shall be qualified with respect to their strength, fracture toughness and weldability.
3.1.4 Weldability
Pipes and other pipeline components shall be capable of being welded reliably under site conditions. To meet
the weldability criteria the value of the carbon equivalent CE of pipes and other pipeline components shall be
less than or equal to 0,45 for grades with specified minimum yield strength SMYS not exceeding 360 MPa
unless otherwise agreed between pipeline operator and manufacturer. This value shall be guaranteed by the
manufacturer. For all grades of steel the maximum carbon content shall not exceed 0,22 % and the maximum
guaranteed values of sulphur and phosphorus contents shall not exceed 0,035 % for each element or 0,05 %
in total on the ladle analysis.
NOTE Carbon equivalent is given by the formula:
Mn Cr+ Mo+V Cu+ Ni
CE= C+ + +
6 5 15
where
CE is the carbon equivalent,
C is the weight percentage of carbon content,
Mn is the weight percentage of manganese content,
Cr is the weight percentage of chromium content,
Mo is the weight percentage of molybdenum content,
V is the weight percentage of vanadium content,
Cu is the weight percentage of copper content,
Ni is the weight percentage of nickel content.
