(OP)
Can someone explain 7.2 of the 97/23/EC PED dealing with joint coefficients?

RE: PED Joint Coefficient
What that statement tells you is that the testing will need to be extended to the entirety of the weld joints to adopt a coefficient of 1. What kind of tests it is not specified here, it is the purpose of the technical rules.

RE: PED Joint Coefficient
Or do i have to use a welding component also if i buy prefabricated piping components such as welded pipes and tees?
For pressure pipes and piping components, when would you use a lower coefficient than z=1.0? Obviously when the weld is not 100% tested, but when would that be?
