Pressure equipment for refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Part 2: Piping - General requirements

1.1   This European Standard specifies the requirements for material, design, manufacturing, testing and documentation for stationary piping intended for use in refrigerating systems, heat pumps and secondary cooling and heating systems. These refrigerating systems and heat pump systems are referenced in this standard as refrigerating systems as defined in EN 378-1.
1.2   This European Standard applies to piping including welded or brazed attachments up to and including the flanges, screwed, welded or brazed connectors or to the edge to be welded or brazed at the first circumferential joint connecting piping or other elements.
1.3   This European Standard applies to the selection, application and installation of safety accessories intended to protect the piping during the various phases of the refrigeration cycle.
1.4   This European Standard applies to the following piping:
?   heat exchanger consisting of piping for the purpose of cooling or heating air where piping aspects are predominant;
?   piping incorporated into an assembly (e.g. self contained system, condensing unit);
?   field erected piping.
1.5   This European Standard applies to piping with an internal pressure down to – 1 bar, to account for the evacuation of the piping prior to charging with refrigerant.
1.6   This European Standard applies to both the mechanical loading conditions and thermal conditions as defined in EN 13480-3 associated with refrigerating systems. It applies to piping subject to the maximum allowable temperatures for which nominal design stresses for materials are derived using EN 14276-1 or as specified in this European Standard. In addition piping designed to this standard needs to have a maximum design temperature not exceeding 200 °C and a maximum design pressure not exceeding 64 bar. Outside of these limits, EN 13480 should be used for the design construction and inspection of the piping. Under these circumstances the unique nature of a refrigerating plant, as indicated in the introduction of EN 14276-1, needs also to be taken into account. This European Standard applies to piping where the main pressure bearing parts are manufactured from metallic ductile materials as defined in Clause 4 and in EN 14276-1.

6 Design 6.1 General This clause covers pressure piping constructed of materials as defined in clause 4. The dimensions of pressurised parts shall be designed at the design pressure (Pd) at the design temperature (td). 6.2 Corrosion, corrosion protection 6.2.1 General The corrosion allowances specified in this subclause are based on the assumption that the piping will be maintained as prescribed in EN 378-2. If other corrosion allowances are used, the manufacturer shall indicate the value in the documentation. 6.2.2 Internal corrosion For surfaces in contact with refrigerants listed in EN 378-1, internal corrosion is negligible and the minimum corrosion allowance may be taken to be 0 mm. Other values, greater than zero, may be selected by the manufacturer. 6.2.3 External corrosion External corrosion allowance shall be either: 1) 0 mm for pressurised parts, if appropriate protection (e.g. paint, zinc plating, vapour barriers, non corrosive materials) is applied prior to putting into service, and the protection is properly maintained by the end user during the operational lifetime and checked at least according to EN 378-2. 2) not less than 1 mm if pressurised parts are not protected during the operational life time as prescribed above.



EN 14276-2:2007 (E) 13 6.3 Loading The normal load of piping covered in this European Standard is:  internal/external pressure;  ambient and operational temperatures;  static pressure and mass of contents in operating and test conditions;  reaction forces and moments from the supports, attachments;  corrosion and erosion, fatigue etc. The requirements of EN 378-2 shall apply for piping support and attachments. NOTE 1 The fluids used in a refrigerating system are not considered as unstable fluids. NOTE 2 For traffic, wind, earthquake loading, if applicable, refer to EN 13480-3. Maximum allowable pressure PS, design pressure Pd and calculation pressure P or Pc. The maximum allowable PS shall be specified by the manufacturer. The design pressure Pd and the calculation pressure P or Pc shall not be less than PS. 6.4 Design temperature td and minimum material temperature The maximum design temperature of the pressurised refrigerant containing parts shall not be less than the maximum allowable temperature TSmax. TSmax shall not be less than the saturated temperature (dew point temperature) corresponding to PS of the fluid and the maximum continuous operating temperature. Localised high temperatures (e.g. super heated refrigerant) shall be taken into account in the relevant pressure piping area. The minimum design temperature shall not be more than the minimum allowable temperature TSmin. TSmin is the minimum temperature which can occur during operation or during standstill conditions. This temperature shall be used to select materials to avoid brittle fracture. TSmin shall not be greater than 20 °C. Localised low temperatures associated with the rapid charging of refrigerants/refrigerant blends (expanding a volatile liquid into a vacuum) shall be taken into account in the relevant area of the piping. The requirements for impact test properties shall be considered in this localised area. 6.5 Calculation temperature tc 6.5.1 General The calculation temperature tc is used to determine the appropriate design stress for the selected material.



EN 14276-2:2007 (E) 14 6.5.2 Piping without heater The calculation temperature, unless determined on the basis of detailed calculations or tests based on measurements, shall be determined as follows: Thermally insulated piping: tc equal TSmax Piping is not thermally insulated:  when fluid temperature is less than 40 °C, tc is TSmax;  when fluid temperature is greater or equal to 40 °C, tc is TSmax with the exception for bolts where tc
is equal to 80 % of TSmax. 6.5.3 Piping with heater When the piping is equipped with a heater, the calculation temperature shall be determined by test or taken to be equal to the temperature determined in 6.5.2 + 50 K. The manufacturer when selecting the heater shall quantify the risk that exists of overheating for the fluid or for the material and shall take appropriate measures to restrict this risk by for example the inclusion of safety accessories and/or the inclusion of appropriate warning labels and/or adding instructions to the documentation. 6.6 Joint coefficient for welds The joint coefficient for welds “z” takes into account the risk associated with the introduction of a weld as well as the risk of a defect remaining undetected due to the level of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) conducted on the joint. The joint coefficient for welds applies for longitudinal and helical welded joints in piping, longitudinal joints in conical piping and the main joints between plates used to fabricate dished heads. The joint coefficient for welds does not apply to non governing joints such as circumferential joints on piping, conical sections, nozzle to shell joints or any type of joint where only compressive stresses are present. The manufacturer shall select one of the following values:  1 for equipment subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests that confirm that 100 % of the joint is defect free;  0,85 for equipment subject to random non-destructive testing equivalent to 10 % of the joint length;  0,7 for equipment where no non-destructive testing has been carried out other than the visual inspection of the joint.

EN 14276-2:2007 (E) 15 When assessing exceptional situations e.g. below atmosphere pressure, no joint coefficient for welds is necessary for calculation purposes. In this European Standard, the brazed joints are applicable only for circular joint. In this case, the joint factor is 1,0. 6.7 Design stress The value of design stress shall take into account the design and tests conditions. The requirements of 6.12 of EN 14276-1:2006 shall apply when the materials are not subjected to creep. When materials are subjected to creep, all requirements of EN 13480-3 shall apply. The values of yield and tensile strength of the material shall be those which apply to the materials in the final fabricated condition, and shall conform to the values given in the appropriate design specification. These values can be used for design purposes unless heat treatment is known to lead to lower values. For metallic material, the value at 20 °C may be used for temperatures up to and including 50 °C. If the weld or brazed metal gives lower strength values after fabrication, then these values shall be used instead. When assessing exceptional conditions (e.g. vacuum – 1 bar), the design stress shall be taken for the test condition with the temperature of material taken to be that existing at the exceptional condition. The design stresses shall be in accordance with Table 4 of EN 14276-1:2006. 6.8 Access and inspection openings, venting and draining provisions, filling and discharge provisions and handling devices 6.8.1 Access and inspection openings No provisions are required for access and inspection openings other than the connections used on the piping. In case of corrosive fluids, the manufacturer shall indicate in the instruction documentation, the recommended periodic inspection schedule and methods. 6.8.2 Venting and draining provisions The design of the piping shall ensure provision for adequate venting of air during the pressure test and draining of the test fluid after the hydraulic test. 6.8.3 Filling and discharge provisions The provision given in EN 378 parts 2, 3 and 4 shall apply to prevent the risk of refrigerant emission during the filling or discharging of the refrigerating system. If the piping is used for refrigerant storage, the documentation shall recommend the maximum liquid level and the use of safety accessories to avoid any over-pressure. 6.8.4 Handling devices For piping, there is no requirement for additional handling devices.



EN 14276-2:2007 (E) 16 6.9 Design methods 6.9.1 General The basic design method is the design by formula (DBF) method. In addition two other methods can be used to either supplement or replace DBF: a) design by analysis (DBA); the rules are given in EN 13480-3; b) experimental techniques; the rules are given in Annex E of EN 14276-1:2006.For piping in category X, alternative methods are given in 8.9.4.1.2 and 8.9.4.1.3. 6.9.2 Design by formula (DBF) 6.9.2.1 Straight piping The minimum required thickness without corrosion allowance, for a straight pipe shall be determined as follows: PzfDPte×+×××=8,02 6.9.2.2 Bend piping The minimum required thickness without corrosion allowance, for a bend pipe shall be determined as follows: +×+×××=RDPzfDPtee418,02
