Aluminium and aluminium alloys used for parts of pressure vessels that are not subject to cold forming (e.g.
straight flanges and nozzles) shall have a specified minimum elongation after fracture of ≥ 10 % in the
longitudinal or transverse direction as defined by the material specification, measured on a gauge length as
defined in eq. (5.2-1).
4 Modification of subclause 5.3
Replace the complete text of subclause 5.3 by the following:
EN 13445-2:2009, Annex B, is not applicable. All materials of Table 5.6-1 are suitable for any minimum metal
temperature without impact testing.
NOTE See also EN 1252-1 and EN 12392:2000, 8.4.
5 Modification of subclause 5.4

6 Modification of subclause 5.5
Replace the text by the following:
The chemical composition shall be in accordance with the material specification.
It is recommended that the material to be used for welded components be produced from rolling or extrusion
ingots with hydrogen level no greater than 0,2 ml per 100 g aluminium, measured on liquid metal during

Any product form available in EN 12392:2000 for a material in Table 5.6-1 at an acceptable temper is
acceptable for construction to this European Standard, as long as the requirements of 5.2 and 5.5 are fulfilled.
Other materials not defined here may be used by agreement by the parties concerned (see EN 13445-2:2009,
4.1.4) if they meet the requirements of 5.2 and 5.5 and a particular material appraisal is produced (see

8 Modification of subclause 6.2
Replace the complete text of subclause 6.2 with the following:
NOTE 1 Also see EN 13445-2:2009, 4.2.2.
nd
EN 13445-2:2009, 4.2.2.1, 2 paragraph, is not applicable for aluminium and its alloys.
Design strength values are given in Tables A.2 to A.5 in Annex A. Design temperatures that exceed the
respective temperature limit in Annex A are not permitted.
For materials of group 22.4 temperatures above 80 °C may result in grain boundary precipitation of Al -Mg .
3 2
These materials may be used at temperatures above 80 °C up to 200 °C only for non-corrosive service.
NOTE 2 For further material properties see EN 12392:2000.
For welded parts and heat treated parts after forming only the values equivalent to the O temper shall be used
for design when 6 000 series flanges, etc. are welded. These values are not quoted in EN 12392:2000 and so
the tabulated values for f shown in Table 6.3-2 shall be used for design. The weld area shall be based on the
O temper but the flange strength away from the weld (2t) may be based on the actual temper (T4 or T6).
For aluminium and aluminium alloys values of 0,2 % proof stress (or 1 % proof stress for material
group 21-1 000 series aluminium) for temperatures above 20 °C shall be established by linear interpolation
between two adjacent values in Annex A or in EN 12392:2000 except that for alloys 5083 and 5086 the
respective value at 50 °C may be used for 65 °C.
For material of group 22.4: For short periods, higher temperatures (e.g. when defrosting refrigerating plant) up
to 150 °C are permissible provided that the pressure is reduced to half the working pressure for a period up to
8 h and to atmospheric pressure for a period up to 24 h.
9 Modification to subclause 6.3
rd st
In Table 6.3-1, 3 column, 1 line, replace [R / 1,05] by [R / 1,05] (add a space in the index between

1,0 and 20).
In the heading of Table 6.3-2 replace Aluminium by aluminium (lower case letter).
10 Modification to subclause 6.5
Replace the first paragraph by the following:
Fatigue design for over 500 full equivalent pressure cycles is not covered by this Part 8 for aluminium and
aluminium alloy pressure vessels. For the determination of 500 full equivalent pressure cycles see EN 13445-
3:2009, 5.4.2

14 New subclause 6.9 Port-hole-extruded tubes
Add a new subclause 6.9:
6.9 Port-hole-extruded tubes
Port-hole-extruded tubes in accordance with the EN 755-series may be used up to and including DN 25,
provided that a joint efficiency of 0,7 is applied. When these tubes are subject to a combined pressure-leak-
test for the entire length the joint efficiency may be set to a factor of 1. If this test is carried out:
by the tube manufacturer, the test pressure shall be
e
n
P = ⋅0,95⋅R (6.9-1)
T px
D
e
by the pressure vessel manufacturer, the test pressure shall be
