Applicable DIN standards to calculate wall thickness.

Applicable DIN standards to calculate wall thickness.

Applicable DIN standards to calculate wall thickness.

(OP)
Can somebody give me the applicable DIN standards to calculate the wall thickness of reductions, T-pieces and elbows.  Does anybody know if there exist some software to do this calculation.

RE: Applicable DIN standards to calculate wall thickness.

You should use the new european piping code
EN 13480 (part 3 for design)

German version is designated DIN EN 13480-3:2002 and is available at www.beuth.de

The previous DIN standard for calculation of pipes and bends was DIN 2413 part 1(Pipes) and 2 (Bends) - but after introduction of EN13480, this is no longer applicable. (In fact  DIN EN 2413 is now a bolting standard)

I am not aware of any available software but most of the calculations are pretty straightforward and can be done in a spreadsheet.

The old DIN fitting and flange standards also no longer exists. The new standards are:

EN 10253-1,
Butt-welding pipe fittings - Part 1: Wrought carbon steel for general use and without specific inspection requirements

(Draft standard) EN 10253-2,
Butt welding pipe fittings - Part 2: Wrought carbon and ferritic alloy steel with specific inspection requirements
   
  (Draft standard) EN 10253-4,
Butt-welding pipe fittings - Part 4: Wrought austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steels with specific inspection requirements

EN 1092-1,
Flanges and their joints - Circular flanges for pipes, valves, fittings and accessories - Part 1: Steel flanges, PN designated

Hope this helps

regards
Mogens
