4.2 Special provisions
4.2.1 Special properties
4.2.1.1 General
Where the behaviour of a material can be affected by manufacturing processes or operating conditions, to an
extent that would adversely affect the safety or service life of the piping system, this shall be taken into
consideration when specifying the material.
Adverse effects can arise from:
 manufacturing processes: e.g. degree of cold forming, heat treatment;
 operating conditions: e.g. hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion, scaling, ageing behaviour after cold
forming.
4.2.1.2 Lamellar tearing
Where lamellar tearing due to the joint design and loading needs to be addressed (see EN 13480-3:2012,
7.2.3.3), steels shall be used which have improved deformation properties perpendicular to the surface shall be
specified and verified in accordance with EN 10164:2004.

Issue 2 (2013-08)
4.2.2 Design temperature above 20 C
4.2.2.1 A material shall only be used for pressure parts within the range of temperatures for which the
material properties required by EN 13480-3:2012 are defined in the technical specification for the material. If
the technical delivery condition does not contain the specific material values required for the design
temperature TR the values required in EN 13480-3:2012 for the design shall be determined by linear
interpolation between the two adjacent values. Values shall not be rounded up.
For other than austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steels, the specified value of ReH (Rp0,2) at room
temperature may be used for temperatures less than or equal to 50 C. Interpolation for design temperatures
between 50 C and 100 C shall be performed with the values of ReH at room temperature and at 100 °C, and
using 20 °C as the starting point for interpolation. Above 100 C linear interpolation shall be performed between
the tabulated values given in the appropriate material standards.
In the case of creep rupture strength values or strength values for plastic strain in a given time, linear
interpolation shall be permissible only if the difference between the two temperatures serving as starting points
for the interpolation is equal to or less than 10 C.
4.2.2.2 Materials in the creep range shall not be used unless the creep rupture strength values or strength
values for plastic strain needed for design are specified in the base material specification. The manufacturer of
the piping system installation shall be assured by the material supplier that the material supplied is capable of
complying with specified properties (within the normal scatter band) by a statement that the manufacturing
processes have remained equivalent to those for the steel for which the test results were obtained.
4.2.3 Prevention of brittle fracture
The requirements given in Annex B shall apply.
4.2.4 Specific requirements for fasteners
Fasteners include bolts, studs and nuts.
Free cutting steel shall not be used. Fasteners made of carbon steel or low alloyed ferritic steel with > 3,5 %
nickel shall not be used above 300 C.
The specified minimum tensile strength of bar material of ferritic and martensitic steel for bolts shall not

Annex B
(normative)
Requirements for prevention of brittle fracture at low temperatures
B.1 General
This annex distinguishes between pressure equipment that has design temperature for normal operation
higher or lower than 50 °C.
For pressure equipment with normal operation temperatures higher than 50 °C B.5 applies. If B.5 is not
applicable, the following rules for lower normal operation temperatures shall be used.
For pressure equipment with design temperature equal to or less than 50 °C this annex specifies three
alternative methods for establishing criteria for the prevention of low temperature brittle fracture1) of steels in
the form of plate, strip, tubes, fittings, forgings, castings, flanges, fasteners and weldments used in pressure
parts. In this case, the temperature for the design TR shall be determined2). The criteria are based on impact
energy requirements at specified temperatures for the base material, heat affected zone (including the fusion
line) and weld metals.
The three methods are:
Method 1 Code of Practice:
Technical requirements
a) Technical requirements based on the choice of TR = T27J as specified in harmonised

European Material Standards and on the assumption that it is possible to achieve these
minimum properties after fabrication. Calculated from the principles of fracture mechanics
used for method 2 for C and CMn steels with yield strength < 460 MPa and
b) based on operating experience for Ni-alloyed steels with Ni ≥ 3 % up to 9 %, for austenitic

steels and for bolts and nuts.
1) Including temperatures at pressure tests

2) See EN 13480-2:2012, 3.1.3.

BS EN 13480-2:2012+A1:2013
EN 13480-2:2012+A1:2013 (E)
Issue 2 (2013-08)
Method 2 Method developed from the principles of fracture mechanics and from operating experiences:
A more flexible approach than method 1 for derivation of technical requirements applicable to C,
CMn and low alloy ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength  500 N/mm2 and for
austenitic-ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength  550 N/mm2. This method can
be applied for these steels to a wider range of thicknesses and temperatures than method 1
because TR must not be equal to T27J (see Figures B.2-1 to B.2-11). In addition for ferritic steels
with max. 355 N/mm2 in PWHT condition operation experience was considered for higher
thicknesses.
Method 3 The application of a fracture mechanics analysis:
This general method is applicable to cases not covered by methods 1 or 2. This method may
also be used to justify deviations from the requirements of method 1 or 2. Only general
guidance is given on the use of this method which shall only be used in agreement with the
parties concerned.
Each of the three methods may be used independently. It is only necessary to satisfy the requirement of any
one method.
All applicable combinations of the temperatures TM (minimum metal temperature) and TS (temperature
adjustment term) shall be considered and the lowest possible TR-value (design reference temperature) shall
be used for the determination of the required material impact test temperature.
NOTE For definitions of temperature terms see 3.1.1 to 3.1.4.
B.2 Material selection and impact energy requirements
B.2.1 General
The methods specified in B.2.1 (Method 1) or B.2.2 (Method 2) shall be used to determine the impact energy
required to avoid brittle fracture. Alternatively, B.2.3 (Method 3) may be used to determine the required
toughness. The method used shall be fully documented, in order to ensure that compliance can be verified.
Reference thickness for constructional details is defined in Table B.4-1.
B.2.2 Method 1 – Code of practice
B.2.2.1 General
Method 1 allows the selection of materials taken from harmonised European material standards with regard to
prevention of brittle fracture. Table B.2-1 gives an overview to the following tables by steel type and product
form.
The weld metal, the heat affected zone and other parts affected by manufacturing processes shall satisfy the
same impact energy requirements as the guaranteed minimum properties for the base material at TR given in
the tables.

The tables B.2-2 to B.2-11 list design reference temperatures for maximum thickness at given strength levels
represented by steels from harmonised European material standards with guaranteed minimum strength and
impact properties. Where it is not possible to achieve these minimum properties after fabrication a tougher
material shall be selected.

considered as equal to the reference thickness of the thicker of the mating pipes.
NOTE Requirements for austenitic-ferritic steels are only given in B.2.3 (Method 2).
Where test pieces of at least 5 mm wide cannot be obtained, the material need not be subject to impact
testing. For pipes with nominal thickness lower than 6,3 mm no impact testing is required.
Values of the design reference temperature TR shall be calculated from the metal temperature TM using the
values of the temperature adjustment TS given in Table B.2-12.

B.2.3 Method 2
B.2.3.1 General
This Method 2 applies to C, CMn, fine grain steels, Ni-alloyed steels with not more than 1,5 % of Ni with a
specified minimum yield strength  500 N/mm2 and to austenitic-ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield
strength  550 N/mm2. This Method 2, based on fracture mechanics [17, 18] can be used to determine the
requirements to avoid brittle fracture in these steels, and may be used at a design reference temperature TR
which is lower than the value derived by Method 1. In this procedure the design reference temperature TR is
not equal to the impact test temperature TKV. The diagrams show the relationship between TR and TKV
depending on reference thickness and strength level. Distinction is made for as-welded (AW) and post weld
heat treated (PWHT) condition. This method does not apply to thermomechanically-rolled steels thicker than
35 mm.
Reference thickness eB for constructional details is defined in Table B.4-1.
Parent material, welds and HAZ shall meet the impact energy KV at impact test temperature TKV. Table B.2-13
and B.2-14 show which figure shall be used to determine the impact test temperature TKV or the design
reference temperature TR. The condition "non-welded" shall be treated as the condition PWHT.

Issue 2 (2013-08)
If the impact energy KV requirement of 40 J instead of 27 J is used, then the impact test temperature TKV can
be increased by 10 °C or TR can be reduced by 10 °C.
Linear interpolation between strength and thickness levels given in the Figures B.2-1 to B.2-11 is allowed.
Alternatively the next higher strength class or wall thickness can be used. Lower test temperatures than TKV
are admissible for the same requirements.
The dotted lines in figure B.2-1 and figure B.2-3 apply to a wall thickness up to and including 110 mm when
impact values KV of 40 J can be guaranteed at TKV.
The temperature adjustment given in Table B.2-12 applies also to Method 2. Extrapolations for temperature
ranges beyond the temperature ranges as given in the nomograms are not permissible.

B.2.4 Method 3 — Fracture mechanics analysis
B.2.4.1 General
A fracture mechanics analysis may be used by the manufacturer as a basis for determining the suitability of
particular vessels for their intended use for the following:
a) materials not currently covered by harmonised European Standards;

b) those cases where the requirements of methods 1 and 2 for low temperature applications cannot be
satisfied;
c) when imperfections which are outside the acceptance criteria for the non-destructive testing
specified in EN 13445-5:2009 are detected;
d) where it is proposed to use materials in thickness greater than permitted by the low temperature
requirements.

EN 13480-2:2012+A1:2013 (E)
Issue 2 (2013-08)
NOTE Guidance on fracture mechanics analysis is given in publications [5] to [10] listed in the bibliography.
Such analyses shall be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of B.2.3.2 to B.2.3.5.
B.2.4.2 Fracture toughness properties shall be obtained in accordance with fracture toughness testing
procedures using full thickness single edge notched bend specimens or equivalent compact tension tests with
fatigue cracks located through thickness in the weld centre-line and in parent material. Further test sampling
of heat affected zone regions shall also be specified, particularly when fatigue or some other in-service crack
growth mechanism may be significant.
When HAZ tests are specified special considerations are necessary with regard to the placement of the notch
and metallurgical sectioning subsequent to testing.
B.2.4.3 For material not covered by the low temperature requirements of methods 1 or 2, a similar level of
tolerance to fracture can be obtained. This can be done by specifying fracture toughness requirements
determined from the use of assessment procedures such as in [9] with a reference defect size as determined
by the manufacturer (e.g. a through wall flaw of total length equal to 10 mm, or a quarter wall thickness
surface flaw with length six times its depth). Also inputs of an equivalent stress (or strain) relating to the
hydraulic test condition, for a defect in a region of stress concentration and subject to residual stresses
equivalent to the room temperature yield strength of the base material for as welded components, or 30 % of
yield for post weld heat treated components can be specified.
B.2.4.4 If non-destructive testing methods are employed which allow accurate sizing of defects, these
values, together with information on the stress state of the critical regions in the vessel, shall be used with
appropriate fracture assessment procedures to specify more accurate toughness requirements than those
specified by Method 1 or 2.
B.2.4.5 For materials which are covered by the low temperature requirements for Method 1 or 2, but where
the Charpy impact energy requirements cannot be met, a fitness for purpose assessment using representative
fracture toughness data and inspection requirements may be employed to determine the integrity of the vessel
for its intended use.
B.3 General test requirements
B.3.1 General
Where impact tests are required, Charpy-V-notch tests shall be performed in accordance with
EN ISO 148-1:2010. The impact energy requirements shall be met in the base material, heat affected zone
and weld metal.
The specimen position shall be in accordance with the specifications in the technical delivery conditions of the
product form for materials for pressure equipment. For welded joints the specimen position for weld metal and
HAZ shall be in accordance with EN 13480-4:2012.
From each sample three specimens shall be tested for each of the required positions and material impact test
temperature TKV. The mean value of the three specimens shall be at least equal to the impact energy
requirement. Only one specimen may show a lower value, but this value shall not be less than 70 % of this
requirement.

Issue 2 (2013-08)
The required values for base material shall refer to the transverse direction. If geometry does not allow to
extract specimen in the transverse direction the impact energy values shall be taken from tests in the
longitudinal direction. The minimum impact energy requirements specified for transverse test pieces shall then
be multiplied by the factor 1,5 for C, CMn, fine grained, low alloyed steels and high strength steels.
B.3.2 Sub-sized specimens
If sub-sized Charpy specimens shall be used, the measured value of the Charpy energy shall be
proportionally converted to the reference specimen thickness of 10 mm. Table B.3-1 gives an example for 7,5
mm and 5 mm thick specimens. Where test pieces at least 5 mm wide cannot be obtained, the material shall
not be subject to impact testing. For pipes with nominal thickness lower than 6,3 mm no impact testing is
required.

If full size Charpy specimen cannot be extracted from components and welds sub-sized specimens shall be

applied. The temperature shifts shall be in accordance with Table B.3-2.
Impact tests should be performed on the maximum thickness, which can be extracted from the component
under consideration.

B.4.1 General
When materials are to be joined by welding, the choice of welding consumables and welding procedures shall
ensure that in addition to the requirements of EN 13480-4:2012, the required impact energy properties are
achieved in weld metal and heat affected zone regions, when tested in accordance with B.3.
The required impact energy shall be at least equal to the specified minimum impact energy for the base metal.
The requirements of method 1 or 2 shall be met.
B.4.2 Welding procedure qualification
Welding procedure qualification shall be performed in accordance with EN 13480-4:2012.

B.4.3 Production test plates
For tubes and fittings with longitudinal or helical welds according to harmonised European Standards as
normative references in this European standard, no further production testing is needed. For non standard
components production testing shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13445-4:2009.
B.5 Materials for use at elevated temperatures
B.5.1 General
B.5 applies for pressure equipment with design temperature for normal operation higher than 50 °C and
where:
 the material temperature at start up, shut down and at possible process upsets is not lower than
–10 °C and
 start up and shut down procedure is under controlled conditions as given in B.5.4 and
 the conditions for pressure test as specified in B.5.5 are fulfilled.
If any of these requirements is not satisfied the methods for low temperature materials shall be applied.
NOTE The limitation regarding start-up and shut-down, process upsets and pressure test are not applicable to
austenitic stainless steels.
B.5.2 Materials
Materials including weldments, in the finished pressure equipment shall have a specified minimum impact
energy measured on a standard Charpy-V-notch impact test specimen (see EN ISO 148-1:2010) as follows:
  27 J for ferritic and 1,5 % to 5 % Ni alloyed steels;
  40 J for steels of material group 8, 9.3 and 10,
at a temperature not higher than 20 °C.

Welding procedure qualification shall be performed in accordance with EN 13480-4:2012.

The weld production test plate shall be performed in accordance with EN 13480-4:2012.
B.5.4 Start up and shut down procedure
To avoid brittle fracture occurrence of pressure equipment made of ferritic or austenitic-ferritic steels during
start-up and shut-down procedures, the pressure shall not exceed 50 % of the design pressure at
temperatures lower than 20 °C.
This start-up and shut-down procedure need not to be considered, if the evaluation of the specified minimum
impact values against Method 2 allows design pressures at lower temperatures.
B.5.5 Pressure test
Hydrostatic pressure test of piping made of ferritic or austenitic-ferritic steels shall not be carried out at
material temperatures lower than 10 °C.
This temperature limitation needs not to be considered, if the evaluation of the specified minimum impact
values against Method 2 allows design pressures at lower temperatures.

Annex C
(normative)
Provisional technical delivery conditions for clad products for pressure

purposes
C.1 Introduction
Until a European Standard for clad steel products for pressure purposes is available, the following
requirements shall form the basis for the technical delivery conditions for such products.
C.2 Requirements for the base material

For the material of clad products the relevant conditions of EN 13480-2:2012 shall apply.
In addition, where appropriate, requirements for impact tests of the kind described in clause C.4, item b, shall
be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
C.3 Requirements for the cladding material

Clad steels shall comply with the following general regulations:
In the case of clad steels where the cladding has a lower degree of elasticity than that of the base metal, a
tensile test on the cladding after the base has been removed shall show an elongation after fracture A5 of at
least 12 %.
The bond between the base and the cladding materials shall be of such a nature that there is no delamination
either in the course of manufacture or in service. Unless otherwise stipulated in the order, the shear strength
of cladding with a tensile strength of less than 280 N/mm2 shall be more than half the minimum tensile
strength of the cladding material and, for all other cladding materials, shall not be less than 140 N/mm2,
regardless of the direction of testing.
The bonded area shall cover at least 95 % of the entire surface and no single unbonded area shall cover more
than 50 cm2. In the case of clad steels which are highly stressed during manufacture (e.g. dished ends) or
when in service (e.g. tube plates), additional requirements imposed by the purchaser (operator) can be
necessary.
The cladding material shall have a surface texture which corresponds to the cladding process and be of uni-
form thickness with tolerances not exceeding those given in Table C.3-1.
The permissible tolerances for the base material shall be in accordance with the relevant dimensional
standards for the various products.
The total area of defects on the cladding material shall not exceed 20 % of the clad surface.

a Deviations from the values in this table are subject to special agreement
b For intermediate thicknesses the limit deviation indicated for the next smallest thickness in the table
applies.
C.4 Qualification of the cladding procedure

Before commencing production, suitable cladding conditions shall be verified by cladding procedure
qualification tests, including welding procedures tests for weld overlay, if applicable. These conditions shall be
carefully observed when cladding the products in the plant.
The cladding procedure qualification tests shall normally comprise
a) tensile tests;
b) Charpy-V-notch impact tests at the temperature specified for test pieces taken from the cladded base
material so that
 one side of the test piece coincides with the bonded area between the base and deposited material;
 the longitudinal direction of the test piece is transverse to the direction of rolling; and
 the axis of the notch is perpendicular to the next surface of the base material (see Figure C.4-1,
item d);
c) bend tests on test pieces which, as shown in Figure C.4-2 cover the bonded zone and are bent in a
direction parallel to the bounding zone;
d) the examination of the hardness, micro and macrostructure and chemical composition in the transition
zone;
e) shear tests on shear specimens;
f) inspection of surface quality and conformity to dimensions;
g) ultrasonic testing of the bond between the base material and the cladding.

C.5 Production tests

During production, at suitable intervals, samples of the base material shall be cladded under the same
conditions as the products and be tested. The types of tests to be carried out and the requirements to be
complied with shall be agreed on the basis of the results of the cladding procedure qualification tests and
practical experience.
