Shell boilers - Part 1: General

1.1  General
This European Standard specifies design, construction, equipment, operational and water treatment requirements
drawn up with a view to ensuring the operating safety of new stationary shell boiler plants.
This European Standard includes the requirements for the prevention of over-heating and  inadmissible over-
pressurisation.
1.2  Boiler plants
A boiler plant consists of:
a)     the shell boiler including all pressure parts from the feedwater inlet (including the inlet valve) to the steam
       and/or hot-water outlet (including the outlet valve). This includes economisers, superheaters and associated
       connecting pipes which are heated by flue gas and are not separated from the main system by intervening
       shut-off devices. Also included is any piping connecting the boiler to and including the first isolating valve;
b)     isolated economisers, superheaters and associated connecting pipes;
c)     expansion vessels and/or expansion tanks for plants for hot water production;
d)     thermal insulation and/or refractory and cladding;
e)     installations for heat supply and heating;
f)     installations for processing and feeding the fuel into the boiler;
g)     installations for the air supply of the boiler including the fans;
h)     installations for the feedwater supply of the boiler;
i)     all control and safety systems.
This European Standard specifies requirements for both directly fired and electrically heated boilers including low
pressure boilers (LPB, see 3.7) as well as for waste-heat boilers with a gas-side pressure not exceeding 0,5 bar1)
of cylindrical design, constructed from carbon or carbon manganese steels by fusion welding and a design pressure
not exceeding 40 bar1). The boilers covered by this European Standard are intended for land use for providing steam
or hot water (typical examples are shown in Figures 1.2-1 to 1.2-5).

EN 12953-1:2002 (E)ForewordThis document EN 12953-1:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 269 "Shell and water-tubeboilers", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by November 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby November 2002.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association and supports essential requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) [1]. For the relationship with the Pressure Equipment Directive see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of thisdocument.The European Standard EN 12953 concerning shell boilers consists of the following parts:-Part 1:General.-Part 2:Materials for pressure parts of boilers and accessories.-Part 3:Design and calculation for pressure parts.-Part 4:Workmanship and construction of pressure parts of the boiler.-Part 5:Inspection during construction, documentation and marking of pressure parts of the boiler.-Part 6:Requirements for equipment for the boiler.-Part 7:Requirements for firing systems for liquid and gaseous fuels for the boiler.-Part 8:Requirements for safeguards against excessive pressure.-Part 9:Requirements for limiting devices of the boiler and accessories.-Part 10: Requirements for boiler feedwater and boiler water quality.-Part 11: Acceptance tests.-Part 12: Requirements for firing systems for solid fuels for the boiler.-Part 13: Operating instructions.CR 12953-14, Shell boilers - Guideline for the involvement of an inspection body independent of the manufacturer.Although these parts may be obtained separately, it should be recognized that the parts are inter-dependent. Assuch, the design and manufacture of shell boilers requires the application of more than one part in order for therequirements of the European Standard to be satisfactorily fulfilled.The annexes A and B of this European Standard are informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countriesare bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Kingdom.3SIST EN 12953-1:2002

Scope1.1
GeneralThis European Standard specifies the design, construction, equipment, operational and water treatment requirementsdrawn up with a view to ensuring the operating safety of new stationary shell boiler plants.This European Standard includes the requirements for the prevention of over-heating and inadmissible over-pressurisation.1.2
Boiler plantsA boiler plant consists of:a)the shell boiler including all pressure parts from the feedwater inlet (including the inlet valve) to the steamand/or hot-water outlet (including the outlet valve). This includes economisers, superheaters and associatedconnecting pipes which are heated by flue gas and are not separated from the main system by interveningshut-off devices. Also included is any piping connecting the boiler to and including the first isolating valve;b)isolated economisers, superheaters and associated connecting pipes;c)expansion vessels and/or expansion tanks for plants for hot water production;d)thermal insulation and/or refractory and cladding;e)installations for heat supply and heating;f)installations for processing and feeding the fuel into the boiler;g)installations for the air supply of the boiler including the fans;h)installations for the feedwater supply of the boiler;i)all control and safety systems.This European Standard specifies requirements for both directly fired and electrically heated boilers including lowpressure boilers (LPB, see 3.7) as well as for waste-heat boilers with a gas-side pressure not exceeding 0,5 bar1)of cylindrical design, constructed from carbon or carbon manganese steels by fusion welding and a design pressurenot exceeding 40 bar1). The boilers covered by this European Standard are intended for land use for providingsteam or hot water (typical examples are shown in Figures 1.2-1 to 1.2-5).Where a particular boiler is a combination of shell boiler and water-tube boiler design, then the water-tube boilerstandard EN 12952 is used in addition to this European Standard. One such example of this combination is shownin Figure 1.2-2.This European Standard applies to the boiler proper, from the feed-water inlet connection to the steam outletconnection and to all other connections, including the valves and steam and water fittings. If welded ends are used,the requirements specified herein begin or end at the weld where flanges, if used, would have been fitted.This European Standard applies to boilers having a capacity of greater than 2 l, a maximum allowable pressuregreater than 0,5 bar and with a maximum design temperature in excess of 110 °C.For Low Pressure Boilers (LPB) less stringent requirements concerning design and calculation are acceptable.Details are defined in the respective clauses.The boiler plant comprises, besides the boiler proper as described above, all pieces of equipment necessary for theintended mode of operation, for which requirements have been laid down in the different parts of this EuropeanStandard.1)For boilers operating at pressure greater than those stated the rules of this standard equally apply. However, itis generally considered that additional design analysis, inspection and testing may be necessary.4SIST EN 12953-1:2002

ExclusionsThis European Standard does not apply to water-tube boilers, coil boilers, to boilers for railway locomotives, or tomarine boilers. This standard does not cover brickwork setting and insulation.However, no construction code can be sufficiently detailed in order to guarantee, in all cases, the necessaryoperational safety. It is therefore the manufacturer's responsibility, in addition to complying with the requirementsof this European Standard, to take into consideration the special measures which could be necessary in order toobtain the required level of safety.Be that as it may, the safety and reliability of a boiler complying with the requirements of this standard and with theadditional precautions which may possibly be taken by the manufacturer can only be guaranteed if the feedwaterand boiler water are in accordance with the requirements of prEN 12953-10 and if the boiler is correctly operatedand maintained. To achieve this, the instructions given by the manufacturer in the operating and maintenancemanuals are followed.7SIST EN 12953-1:2002
