EN code concerning DIN / ASME fittings

Hi all,
this is my first post in this forum. So please tell me if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

Does anybody know if there is a EN (european) code representing ASME or DIN fittings?

I know there is the EN-1092 which represents DIN flanges, and EN-1759 which represents ASME B16.5 flanges.

Now I’m looking for a EN-code that represents ASME B16.9 and DIN2615 tees (and other fittings).
I’ve already found the EN-10253 which gives DIN fitting measurements. It tells nothing about strength though, only minimal material properties.

ASME B16.9 for example says that the needed wall thickness of a fitting according to that code can be calculated as were it a standard piece of pipe.

Can any of you help me out on this issue? Where to find a statement on pressure rating for standard ASME and DIN fittings according to EN-code?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
With Regards,
Corné

cornemo,

See Part 7 of EN 10253-2 or EN 10253-4 if they apply. Also have a look in EN 13480-3.
 
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't find anything on standard fittings in EN 13480-3. Can you point me to the specific chapter?
I had already found EN 10253-1, but hadn't found 10253-2. Looks like that says something about strength indeed.

Are there also EN versions of ASME B16.9?

With regards, Corné
 
I have read EN 10253-2 and I understand there are Type A and Type B fittings. DIN 2615 tees seem to be Type B fittings to me, but I can't find anything in the EN 10253-2 adressing this. Calculating the tees can't be done as DIN 2615 doesn't give all the exact measurements needed.
Can I assume the tables in appendix C of EN 10253-2 apply to standard DIN fittings?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Corné
