Titanium pressure vessel according EN code?
Titanium pressure vessel according EN code?
(OP)
I have to design a titanium pressure vessel (ASTM B-338 or equivalent), but the client insists that it must be designed according to a European code.
EN 13445 is the European code for unfired pressure vessels, but is only applicable to vessels manufactured from steels, spheroidal graphite cast iron and aluminium.
Is there a European design code for pressure vessels made of titanium? If so, which code do I have to look for? If not, how to deal with this issue (apart from using ASME VIII)?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

I know it is still updated and can still be used. But EN 13445 will be leading in this case (vessel to be delivered in Europe). Is there no real EN code for titanium pressure vessels?
I think I go for ASME VIII making it a worldwide accepted vessel. Let's hope the client is OK with it.
