Metallic industrial piping - Part 3: Design and calculation

This part of EN 13480 describes the requirements for the design and calculation of industrial metallic piping systems, including supports.

Industrielle metallische Rohrleitungen - Teil 3: Konstruktion und Berechnung

Tuyauteries industrielles métalliques - Partie 3: Conception et calcul

La présente annexe spécifie une méthode de vérification des raccordements de tubulures soumis a une pression intérieure et a des moments (Figure O.1). Lorsque des charges extérieures ne peuvent pas etre négligées, cette méthode peut etre utilisée a la place de la méthode décrite dans l'EN 13480-3:2002, 8.1. Les regles de cette annexe doivent s'appliquer a des températures inférieures a celles du domaine du fluage et aux raccordements de tubulures suivants :
-   raccordement de cylindres a axes concourants ;
-   rapport du diametre du tuyau de la tubulure et du diametre du tuyau sans tracé préalable dans un intervalle situé entre 0,1 et 1, les valeurs 0,1 et 1 étant inclus ;
-   rapport de l'épaisseur du tuyau de la tubulure et de l'épaisseur du tuyau sans tracé préalable dans un intervalle situé entre 0,2 et 1,5, les valeurs 0,2 et 1,5 étant inclus ;
-   rapport du diametre moyen du tuyau sans tracé préalable et de l'épaisseur du tuyau sans tracé préalable dans un intervalle situé entre 10 et 125, les valeurs 10 et 125 étant inclus ;
-   tuyau de tubulure auto-renforcé ou comportant une plaque d'encerclement total (largeur = dm / 2) ;
-   angle fb entre l'axe du tuyau de la tubulure et l'axe du tuyau sans tracé préalable compris entre 45° et 90°, les valeurs 45° et 90° étant inclus ;
-   épaisseur maximale de la selle de renfort = 1,5 fois l'épaisseur nominale.
NOTE   Les développements actuels inclus dans cette annexe ne traitent pas des tés forgés étant donné la réduction éventuelle d'épaisseur qui pourrait survenir a l'emplacement de la tubulure ( par exemple : tés étirés a chaud).

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 13480-3:2002/A1:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/TC 267 “Industrial piping and pipelines”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This Amendment to the European Standard EN 13480-3:2002 shall be given the status of a national standard,
either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2006, and conflicting
national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2006.
This European Standard 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).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European
Standard.
This European Standard contains changes in 8.1 of EN 13480-3:2002, the Annex O (normative) to be added
in EN 13480-3:2002, and the Annex ZA updated to replace the current Annex ZA in EN 13480-3:2002.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

8 Openings and branch connections
8.1 General
Replace 8.1 by:
This subclause shall apply to cylindrical shells, conical shells, spherical shells and dished ends having circular,
elliptical or obround openings, provided that the assumptions and conditions specified in Clause 8 are
satisfied.
For the purposes of Clause 8, the word “shell” shall apply to run pipes and headers in addition to shells.
NOTE 1 Forces and/or moments due to loadings other than internal pressure are not considered in this design method.
NOTE 2 Another route for design openings based on the area replacement method is also given, with its required
safety margins, in ASME B 31.3.
An alternative method for the calculation of openings is given in Annex O (normative).
This new procedure is based on limit analysis and shakedown analysis and allows the connection to be
designed as well as the reinforcement where necessary, and is particularly suitable for large openings.
As for clauses 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11, the requirements of Annex O shall apply for loads of predominantly non-cyclic
nature.
This method applies to connections that are self reinforced and also to those where reinforcing pads are used.
Oblique branch connections are also covered.
In addition, significant moments due to loadings other than internal pressure , as bending or torsion moments,
can be considered by this new design method.

Annex O
(normative)

Alternative method for checking branch connections

O.1 Scope
This annex specifies a method for checking branch connections subjected to internal pressure and to
moments (Figure O.1). Where external loads cannot be neglected, this method may be used in place of the
method of EN 13480-3:2002, 8.1. The rules of this annex shall apply for temperatures below the creep range
and for the following branch connections:
 connection of cylinders with intersecting axes;
 ratio of branch pipe to run pipe diameter within the range 0,1 to 1, 0,1 and 1 included;
 ratio of branch pipe to run pipe thickness within the range 0,2 to 1.5, 0,2 and 1,5 included;
 ratio of run pipe mean diameter to run pipe thickness within the range 10 to 125, 10 and 125 included;
 branch pipe self-reinforced or with complete encirclement pad (width = d / 2);
m
 angle ϕ between branch pipe and run pipe axes within the range 45° to 90°, 45° and 90° included;
b
 maximum thickness of reinforcing saddle = 1,5 times nominal thickness.
NOTE The current developments included in this annex do not deal with forged tees, considering the eventual
reduction of thickness that could occur at the branch location (e.g. hot drawn tees).
O.2 Symbols
For the purposes of Annex O, the symbols given below shall apply in addition to those given in Table 8.2-1
and in Table 3.2-1.

NOTE The curves of Graphs O.3.2-1 to O.3.2-6 can be described by the following polynomial
equation:

c = MIN[(Ax + Bx + C) ; 1]                                             (T.O.3.2-1.1)
where
x = d / D
