EN 10253-4:2008 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 10253-4:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 29 “Steel tubes and fittings for steel tubes”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI/UNSIDER. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2008. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EU Directive 97/23/EC. For relationship with the EU Directive 97/23/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 10253 comprises a series of European Standards about Butt-welding pipe fittings, namely: Part 1: Wrought carbon steel for general use and without specific inspection requirements Part 2: Non alloy and ferritic alloy steels with specific inspection requirements Part 3: Wrought austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steels without specific inspection requirements Part 4: Wrought austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steels with specific inspection requirements In writing EN 10253 the competent committee recognized that there are two broad types of products commonly used for stainless steels, and decided to reflect these in the standard by differentiating between two parts, Part 3 and Part 4. Part 4 defines two types of fittings: Type A fittings have the same wall thickness at the welding ends than a pipe having the same specified wall thickness. Their resistance to internal pressure is, in general, less than that of a straight pipe with the same dimensions. Type B fittings showing increased wall thickness at the body of the fitting are designed to resist the same internal pressure as a straight pipe with same dimensions. These two types of fittings are intended to be used in applications covered by the EU Directive 97/23/EC. According to this Directive and further interpretation guidelines (e.g. guideline 7/19), seamless fittings are considered as materials whereas welded fittings are considered as components. Therefore, in some areas of this European Standard, provisions for seamless and welded fittings are different. The committee recognized the need to provide a basic type in which the minimum wall thickness of the fitting is guaranteed without formal reference to the pressure resistance. This type is considered in Part 3 and includes products not intended for use in applications covered by the Pressure Equipment Directive category I – IV except applications according to Article 3 Paragraph 3. Information about structural dimensions of fittings is given in Annex A. For fittings specified in accordance with this part of EN 10253, the resistance to internal pressure of the fitting may be determined by calculation. Annex B gives information about the calculation. For some wall thickness series Annex C lists pressure factors for fittings type A and Annex D lists wall thickness values for the body of the fittings of fittings type B.

Their resistance to internal pressure is less than that of a pipe with the same specified diameter, wall thickness and of the same steel grade. The determination of pressure factors and wall thickness is given in Annex B and tables of pressure factors are given in Annex C. For reducers the wall thickness at the conical section shall be the specified wall thickness at the major end. 7.3 Fittings of type B Fittings of type B have increased wall thickness at the body of the fitting. They will, in general, withstand the same internal pressure as a pipe with the same specified diameter, wall thickness and of the same steel grade. Wall thickness requirements of this type of fittings are defined by the calculation procedures given in Annex B. For some commonly used, specified wall thicknesses the resulting wall thicknesses at the body of the fitting are listed in the tables given in Annex D. 8 Manufacturing process 8.1 Steelmaking process The steelmaking process is left at the discretion of the steel manufacturer. 8.2 Product making process for fittings and heat treatment 8.2.1 Product making process The different allowed processes and the relevant starting product forms are listed in Table 1. The method of manufacturing is left at the discretion of the manufacturer. The product making process shall be so applied that it will not produce injurious imperfections in the fittings. Where tubes are used as starting material, following conditions shall apply: when manufacturing fittings from tubes, tubes according to EN 10216-5 (seamless) and EN 10217-7 (welded) shall be used.

Option 2: The starting product form to be used and/or its delivery condition shall be as specified on the purchase order. 8.2.2 Welding as part of the manufacturing process of the fitting 8.2.2.1 General When producing fittings from plate or strip, welding is considered being a part of the manufacturing of fittings, the following criteria are valid: welding process/procedures shall be qualified in accordance with EN ISO 15614-1; welders and/or welding operators shall be qualified in accordance with EN 287-1 and/or EN 1418. All welds carried out during the manufacture of the fitting shall be fusion weld type. All welds shall have complete penetration. Local repair of weld seam which have been made with filler metal is permitted provided that the repair procedure/welders are qualified in accordance with the relevant part of the above mentioned standards. If heat treatment is required, the repair welding shall be carried out in advance. 8.2.2.2 Finished joint requirement As welded surfaces are permitted provided the surface imperfections permit proper interpretation of radiographic or other non-destructive examination. A reduction in thickness due to the welding process is acceptable provided that the material of the joining surfaces shall not be reduced below minimum required thickness at any point. Concavity due to the welding process on the root side of a single welded joint is permitted when the resulting thickness of the weld is at least equal to the minimum thickness of the thinner part of the parts being joined and the contour of the concavity is smooth.
