NOTES      1. This standard does not specify any metallic materials which comply with the essential requirements of the Directive 97/23EEC (PED). Materials that successfully pass the essential requirements of the PED may be used.
2. The classification of the different parts forming the assembly of the mobile extinguishers is given in Annex A.

Fahrbare Feuerlöscher - Teil 2: Zusätzliche Anforderungen zu EN 1866-1 an die konstruktive Ausführung, Druckfestigkeit und mechanischen Prüfungen für Feuerlöscher mit einem Höchstdruck kleiner gleich 30 bar

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Vorgaben im Hinblick auf die konstruktive Gestaltung, die Typprüfung und die Überprüfung während der Fertigung von fahrbaren Feuerlöschern, die auf Wasserbasis oder mit Schaum arbeiten, fest, soweit die Gefährdung durch Druck betrachtet wird. Sie gilt für Feuerlöscher, die für einen Höchstdruck PS von kleiner oder gleich 30 bar ausgelegt sind.
ANMERKUNG   Diese Norm legt keine metallischen Werkstoffe fest, die mit den grundlegenden Anforderungen der Richtlinie 97/23/EWG (Druckgeräte) übereinstimmen. Werkstoffe, die die grundlegenden Anforderungen der Druckgeräte-Richtlinie erfüllen, dürfen verwendet werden.

EN 13445 Part 1 to 5 is a recognised calculation method. If a body of a mobile fire extinguisher is designed
with this recognised calculation method no burst pressure test is required.
5.2 Experimental design method
If a body of a mobile fire extinguisher is designed with a experimental design method a burst test of the body
is required.
The wall thickness of the body shall not be less than the wall thickness given by the formula below.
D×PT
S = for the wall thickness of the body.
20×R
where
S is the wall thickness, in millimetres;
D is the external diameter of the body, in millimetres;
PT is the test pressure, being 1,43 x PS, in bar ;
2
R is 80 % of the minimum yield strength of the material specified by the manufacturer, in N/mm .
5.3 Prototype testing
5.3.1 Pressure test
5.3.1.1 Test conditions
Two bodies including accessories shall be submitted to the hydrostatic pressure test which shall be carried out
using apparatus that permits a regular increase of pressure at a maximum of 2 bar/s up to the moment the
test pressure PT is reached.
5.3.1.2 Requirements
The test pressure PT shall not be less than 1,43 times the maximum allowable pressure PS with a minimum of
20 bar.
The test pressure shall be maintained for a minimum of 30 s and the body shall remain tight.
After the test, the volume of the body shall not increase by more than 1 %.

5.3.2 Burst test
5.3.2.1 Test conditions
If the body is not designed in accordance with EN 13445 one sample shall be subjected to a burst test.
The burst test under hydraulic pressure shall be carried out using an installation which permits a regular
increase of pressure at not more than 2 bar/s until the body bursts and also permits the variation of pressure
to be recorded as a function of time.
5.3.2.2 Requirements - Bodies
The burst pressure P shall not be less than 2,7 times the maximum pressure PS with a minimum of 55 bar.
r
The burst test shall not cause the body to fragment.
The main break shall show no signs of brittleness, for example the edges of the break shall not be radial, but
shall be inclined relative to a diametrical plane and shall have a reduction in area over their entire thickness.
The break shall not show any obvious defects in the material.
The break shall not originate in the body marking or weld.
5.3.2.3 Requirements – Fittings
The bursting test shall be carried out on three samples of all fittings, except for hoses and coupling
(see chapter 6.7).
The bursting pressure P shall not be less than 2,7 times the maximum allowable pressure PS.
r
The burst test shall not cause the valve and fitting to fragment.
The break shall not show any obvious defects in the material.
The break shall not originate in the valve or fitting marking area.
5.4 Macroscopic examination
On two bodies each weld subject to pressure shall be examined, the macroscopic examination of a transverse
section of the weld, in accordance with EN 1320, shall show complete fusion over the area with preparation
