Drums, headers and similar pressure parts shall be constructed from tubes, forgings, plates or castings.Drums and headers shall be in a suitably clean condition, both internally and externally, to enable proper visualinspection of the surface to be carried out before drilling of holes for tube stubs, branches, etc. and before weldingof any permanent connections.6.1.2
The ends of forged or other seamless steel tube headers shall be carried out by any one of the followingmethods:a)forging or spinning;b)welding in accordance with clause 8, see also figure 10.3-1 of EN 12952-3;c)bolted flanges in accordance with the relevant European Standards e.g prEN 1092-1 or prEN 1759-1.Bolted flanges in accordance with c) shall not be used where the bolts would be exposed to gases of combustion.6.1.3
Header ends shall be forged or machined from steel of a grade compatible with the bodies of the headers andprofiled as shown in figure 10.3-1 of EN 12952-3.6.2
Material identificationThe manufacturer shall maintain a system of material identification for all pressure parts and drum lifting lugs.6SIST EN 12952-5:2002
EN 12952-5:2001 (E)The system shall be such that material used in major pressure parts (drums, tubes for header shells withdo > 142 mm) can be traced back to its origin. The identification of tubes which are not used for header shells andtubes for header shells with do £ 142 mm shall be controlled by a system which permits positive identification of cast,on receipt into the manufacturer's works and maintenance of the material type identification throughoutmanufacturing operations by marking.6.3
Material marking6.3.1
The marking of materials shall be maintained throughout the process of manufacture. If original markings arediscarded or parts without markings could be created by dividing up parts during the course of manufacture,markings shall be transferred, normally before fabrication.Appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure that there is no possibility of confusion in the transfer of markings.6.3.2
Marking transfer shall be performed by the manufacturer's nominated representative(s) except for materialsrequiring certificate (3.1.A/3.1.C) to EN 10204 not classified as small parts.In the case of materials for which a certificate 3.1.A to EN 10204 is required, the markings shall be transferred inaccordance with the requirements of EN 12952-6.NOTE
This does not apply to small parts which are those made from certified products, such as nipples, nozzles, flanges,compensating rings, with outside diameters equal to or less than 142 mm.6.3.3
In general, material marking should be done by hard stamping using a low stress type metal stamp or etching.NOTE
Other marking methods may be used if the manufacturer can ensure that their use will not impair the safety of the boiler.6.3.4
For welded non-pressure parts, marking need only be transferred if the identification of materials is not evidentfrom the drawing or parts list.6.3.5
Bolts and nuts for pressure purposes shall be marked with the manufacturer's brandmark and property classsymbol, or the steel grade code number in accordance with EN ISO 4759-1.6.4 Marking during manufacture6.4.1 Temporary markingTemporary marks for the purpose of identification during manufacture e.g. parts numbers, welder numbers,radiograph numbers etc. shall be made by any one, or a combination, of the following methods:a)painting or pen, provided they are compatible with the material being marked;b)vibro etching or other etching tool;c)metal stamps of the low stress type.6.4.2
Permanent markingPermanent marks complying with the requirements of 6.2 shall be made by any one, or a combination, of thefollowing methods:a)vibro etching or other etching tools;b)metal stamps of the low stress type;c)stamped data plates welded directly to the component using an approved welding procedure specification.7SIST EN 12952-5:2002
EN 12952-5:2001 (E)6.4.3
Tube bendsMetal stamping shall not be permitted on the curved area of tube bends.6.4.4
Location drawingsLocation drawings may be provided in the case of welders marks, radiographs etc.7 Cutting, forming and fabrication tolerances7.1 Cutting of material7.1.1
Steel shall be cut by thermal means, shearing, sawing, machining or a combination of these methods.Thermal cutting may necessitate the use of preheating, depending on the type of steel and the thickness in question,which shall be applied in accordance with 10.3.3. It is recognized that the cold worked zone resulting from theshearing process need not be eliminated before welding if this zone will be fused during welding.7.1.2
Any material damaged metallurgically in the process of cutting to size or forming the edge or end preparationshall be removed by machining, grinding, chipping or thermal-cutting back to sound metal. Surfaces that have been thermally cut shall be cut back by machining or grinding so as to remove all burnt metal,harmful notches, slag and scale, but slight discoloration of machine thermally cut edges on mild steel shall not beregarded as detrimental. If alloy steels are prepared by thermal cutting, the surface shall be dressed back bygrinding or machining for a distance of at least 1,5 mm, unless it can be shown that the material has not beendamaged by the cutting process.NOTE
These requirements for dressing do not apply to surfaces that are prepared for electro-slag welding, where a thermallycut surface is generally acceptable without further treatment.After the edges of the material have been prepared for welding, they shall be visually examined for flaws, cracks,laminations, slag inclusions or other defects before further work is carried out. Any weld repairs that are required tomaterials damaged as a result of thermal cutting shall be to an approved welding procedure specification.7.2 Forming of drums, headers and ends7.2.1 GeneralDrums, headers and ends shall be rolled or pressed from plate, solid forged, drawn or extruded, or made by acombination of these processes. Components made by a forging, drawing or extrusion process shall be producedin accordance with the forgemasters specification, as agreed with the boiler manufacturer.Components formed from ferritic steel plate shall be heat treated in accordance with 10.2.2 to 10.2.4 inclusive. Theheating associated with forming operations and the heat treatment requirements after forming are given in 10.2.The forming requirements applicable to austenitic steel plate are the subject of development. In the meantime themethods used shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's own proven procedure which shall ensure that, by theiruse, the safety of the boiler is not impaired.7.2.2 Drum and header shellsShell plates shall be formed, either hot or cold, to ensure compliance with the tolerances specified in 7.4. Each shellplate shall be formed to the correct contour up to the extreme edges of the plate. The bending or pressing shall bedone entirely by machine. The definitions of hot and cold forming are given in 3.1 and 3.2.Local heating and hammering shall not be employed.7.2.3 EndsDishing and peripheral flanging, either hot or cold, shall be carried out to ensure compliance with the tolerancesspecified in 7.4. The operations shall be performed by machine. Sectional flanging shall not be employed.8SIST EN 12952-5:2002
EN 12952-5:2001 (E)7.2.4 Plates welded prior to hot or cold formingWhere practicable, shells and ends shall be rolled or pressed from one piece of plate. Where this is impracticable,butt welding of plate, prior to forming shall be permitted, provided that the welded joints are non-destructivelyexamined after forming in accordance with the requirements of EN 12952-6, and a welding procedure qualificationtest has been performed to EN 288-3 taking into account any heat treatment cycles involved. A production test plateas specified in 10.2.5, shall be provided.7.2.5 Extruded openings in headersExtruded openings in headers shall have a fillet with a radius not less than the thickness of the neck of the extrusionas shown in figure B-2 of annex B.7.3 Forming of tube bends7.3.1 GeneralTubes which are bent hot or cold shall conform to 7.3.2 to 7.3.12.Tube bends which do not conform to these requirements may be acceptable if the manufacturer can ensure theiruse will not impair the safety of the boiler.NOTE
Annex A requires procedure tests to be carried out on tube bends. Attention is drawn to the fact that not all thecombinations of materials and bending processes permitted, and the associated thermal treatments nominated in table 7.3-2, willsatisfy the requirements for the procedure test given in 7.3.2 to 7.3.13 and annex A.The manufacturer should ensure that any combination of material, bending process and the chosen bend geometry will producebends that satisfy the requirements of 7.3. If a chosen bend geometry is found not to comply with the requirements of 7.3, themanufacturer should adjust the design to enable the requirements to be met.7.3.2 Tube bending procedure testIt shall be demonstrated by means of a tube bending procedure test (see annex A) that tubes can be satisfactorilybent to the requirements of 7.3.1. The tests shall be performed to represent combinations of tube sizes, materialsand bend radii which demonstrate the adequacy of the bending method chosen. The range and scope of thequalification of tube bends resulting from these procedure tests are also given in annex A. The results from thebending procedure tests shall be documented and used as a basis for all future tube bends falling within the scopeof the combinations tested.When specific pre-production test bends are manufactured in accordance with table 7.3-1 and which conform to therequirements of 7.3.1 the resulting documented data shall serve as qualification for subsequent production runs andmay be considered to satisfy the requirements of annex A.NOTE
Documented evidence of previous satisfactory tube bending procedure tests may be accepted as fulfilling theserequirements.7.3.3 Requirements for dimensional testingThinning at the bend extrados, thickening at the bend intrados (where required) and departure from circularity limitsshall be demonstrated by the methods given in table 7.3-1.NOTE
This test relates to the forming of tubes for conventional water-tube boilers. For the special case of coiled boilers andcoiled superheaters, see annex D.9SIST EN 12952-5:2002
