Industrial valves - Shell design strength - Part 1: Tabulation method for steel valve shells

This European Standard specifies the tabulation method for determining the wall thickness of valve bodies, bonnets and covers with essentially circular cross-section made in forged, cast or fabricated steel.
For valve shells with oval, rectangular or non-circular shapes, see 8.6.
The range of PN or Class designations for which thicknesses are tabulated is:
PN 2,5, PN 6, PN 10, PN 16, PN 25, PN 40, PN 63, PN 100, PN 160, PN 250, PN 320, PN 400, Class 150, Class 300,Class 600, Class 900, Class 1 500, Class 2 500, Class 4 500.
Pressure/temperature ratings are specified for each material group for the above PN Standard Class and Special Class designations.
The non-destructive examination procedures and acceptance levels that need to be applied to the valve shell components in order for the valve to be used at Special Class pressure/temperature ratings are defined.
Details are also given for the alternative rules for small bore valves of DN 65 and smaller designated as Limited Class.
This standard does not apply to threaded end valves:
- DN 80 or larger;
- or which have pressure ratings greater than Class 2 500;
- or which operate at temperatures greater than 540 °C.
Socket welding end valves DN 80 or larger are outside the scope of this standard.

Overview - SIST EN 12516-1:2015+A1:2018 (Industrial valves - Shell design strength)

SIST EN 12516-1:2015+A1:2018 establishes a tabulation method for determining wall thickness of steel valve shells (bodies, bonnets and covers) with essentially circular cross-sections. The standard provides pressure/temperature (p/t) ratings for a broad range of nominal pressure (PN) and ASME Class designations, defines material groups and temperature limitations, and specifies non‑destructive examination (NDE) requirements when higher (“Special Class”) ratings are required.

Keywords: SIST EN 12516-1, industrial valves, shell design strength, tabulation method, valve shells, pressure/temperature ratings, non‑destructive examination.

Key technical topics and requirements

• Tabulation method: Prescribed tables to select minimum wall thickness for forged, cast or fabricated steel valve shells for circular cross-sections.
• Covered PN and Class ranges: PN 2.5, 6, 10, 16, 25, 40, 63, 100, 160, 250, 320, 400 and Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500, 4500.
• Material groups and temperature limits: Material-specific p/t ratings and temperature limitations are provided (see Annex B and Annex A procedures).
• Special Class vs Standard/ Limited Class:
  • Standard rating - default tabulated values.
  • Special Class - elevated p/t ratings requiring defined NDE procedures and acceptance levels (Annex C and Annexes D–G).
  • Limited Class - alternative rules for small‑bore valves (DN 65 and smaller) given in Annex H.
• Non‑destructive examination (NDE): Radiography, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant and ultrasonic procedures and acceptance criteria are defined for achieving Special Class ratings (Annexes D–G).
• Dimensional rules: Minimum wall thickness, inside diameter, necks, local areas, contours (butt/socket/threaded ends), auxiliary connections and marking requirements are covered (Clauses 8–11).
• Scope exclusions: Does not apply to threaded end valves DN ≥ 80, valves with pressure ratings > Class 2500, or valves operating above 540 °C. Socket‑weld ends DN ≥ 80 are outside scope.

Practical applications and users

• Valve designers and mechanical engineers applying standard tabulated thicknesses for safe shell design.
• Valve manufacturers and fabricators (forge, cast, welded) specifying dimensions and fabrication/NDE requirements.
• Inspection and QA personnel using NDE acceptance criteria for Special Class certification.
• Procurement, project engineers and compliance officers ensuring valves meet required p/t ratings and PED-related provisions.

Related standards and references

• EN 12516 series (other parts addressing different materials/methods).
• Annex ZA links this standard to Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) for pressure equipment conformity.
• Annex I covers relationships to ASTM/ASME materials and Annex J for DN/NPS conversions.

SIST EN 12516-1 is a practical reference for ensuring mechanical integrity and regulatory compliance when specifying steel valve shells across a wide pressure/temperature range.
