Amendment 5 to EN 13445-3 introduces important changes regarding the simplified fatigue calculation, performed according to Clause 17. Essentially, these changes concern new ways to consider thermal stresses in fatigue calculation. Load cases can now have pressure variation only, temperature variation only or a combination of both.
Section 12 of BS EN 13445-3 contains requirements for design of bolted domed ends, however Autopipe Vessel does not have any components which resemble bolted domed ends. Will this functionality ever be added to Autopipe Vessel
This Part of this European Standard specifies the inspection and testing of individual and serially produced pressure vessels made of steels in accordance with EN 13445-2:2009 subject to predominantly non-cyclic operation (i.e. vessels operating below 500 full equivalent pressure cycles). Special provisions for cyclic operation are given in EN 13445-3:2009 and in Annex G of this Part. Special provisions for vessels or vessel parts working in the creep range are given in Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 10, Annex H and Annex I of this Part. 781b155fdc
