BS EN 13480-3 equivalent for ASME B31.3 - Stress Intensification factors
BS EN 13480-3 equivalent for ASME B31.3 - Stress Intensification factors
(OP)
Hello All,
Does anyone have experience with BS EN 13480 Metallic Industrial Piping? I'm trying to find the equivalent section to ASME B31.3 Appendix D that deals with stress intensification factors for elbows and pipe bends.
Also, I can't seem to find any section in BS EN 13480-3 or BS EN 13480-4 on external loads applied to the pipe work to validate the strength of the welds for a simple pipe run. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
Any help you can offer would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.

For Your info I attached here detailed calculation sequence for elbow

SIF's are found in para. 12.2.7.4 annex H
Also try to review annex Q, for simplified stress analysis. Though this chapter is not as straight forward as you might think, it can be good practice.

XL83NL - Thank you for the direction in regards to stress factors. I will review and post on my progress.
Thanks again
