3.3.1 cold forming for ferritic steels forming at temperatures 20 °C to 30 °C below the maximum permissible temperature for post-weld heat treatment in accordance with Table 9.14.1-1
3.3.2 cold forming for austenitic steels forming at temperatures below 300 °C
3.4 hot forming for ferritic steels, forming at temperatures at or above the maximum permissible temperature for post-weld heat treatment in accordance with Table 9.14.1-1 4 Symbols For the purposes of this Part of this European Standard, the symbols given in EN 13480-1:2012 apply. Additional symbols are defined in appropriate clauses of this Part. 5 General 5.1 Requirements on the manufacturer The manufacturer shall be responsible for the fabrication and the installation, even if this work will be sub-contracted. SIST EN 13480-4:2012

5.3.3 When joining spools or components, they shall not be strained nor deformed other than as may be required by the design. Designer's installation instructions, if any, shall be observed. NOTE 5.3.3 is deemed to be fulfilled, when the quality characteristics of the material are not impaired by cold or hot forming, e.g. by cutting, grinding, straightening or bending, of the pipes and when the different pipes have been joined such that stresses and deformations which can impair the safety of the piping are excluded. 5.3.4 Any temporary supports or restraints used as an aid during transport, installation or testing shall be removed prior to commissioning. 5.3.5 Appropriate measures shall be taken to avoid corrosion-inducing contamination of stainless steel and non-ferrous materials. If contamination occurs, it shall be properly removed as soon as practicable, notwithstanding any final treatment. NOTE Recommended methods for the prevention and removal of contamination on stainless steel are given in Annex A. 5.3.6 Piping for fluids which are likely to cause condensation shall be installed with adequate slopes and traps. 5.4 Classification of piping The piping systems shall be classified into different categories depending on the fluid carried, diameter and pressure. These are given in EN 13480-1:2012.
NOTE Flame cutting for material groups 1 and 2 can be used for bevelling, if the required bevel forms and tolerances can be achieved and the heat affected zone has no detrimental effects on the quality of the weld.
For material groups 3, 4 and 5, the heat affected zone shall be removed by machining or grinding. Plasma cutting shall be permitted for all material groups given in this European Standard. Plasma cutting shall be preceded by preheating, as specified for welding in 9.11.1. Other cutting and bevelling processes shall be permitted, provided their suitability is demonstrated. 6.2 Transfer of marking for pressure parts For pressure parts, identification of materials shall remain possible, either by retaining or by transferring the mark stipulated by the product standard, or by using a unique code kept in the records of the piping fabricator. Stamping shall not introduce a notching effect, therefore stamping with round edges is recommended. If any method of marking other than hard-stamping or engraving (vibrograph) is used, the fabricator shall ensure that confusion between different materials is not possible, e.g. by separate handling (time and/or place), stamped bands. 7 Bending and other forming 7.1 General 7.1.1 Fabricators of formed pressure parts shall have adequate equipment for the forming procedures and the subsequent heat treatment.

7.1.2 The forming and post-forming heat treatment of thermomechanical steels shall be given individual consideration. Account shall be taken of the recommendations of the steelmakers. NOTE
Pipes whose properties have been generated by thermomechanical means such as controlled rolling can be formed by hot or cold methods. Such materials may be substantially changed by the forming process and require particular consideration to ensure that the specified properties are recovered after forming. 7.1.3 The following equations shall be used for the calculation of the percentage deformation for cold formed cylinders and cone products made by rolling (see Figure 7.1.3-1): a) For cylinders and cones rolled from flat materials (see Figures 7.1.3-1a) and 7.1.3-1c)):

7.1.4 Tools and equipment used for forming shall be maintained to ensure a smooth profile free from scores, scratches or other stress-raising defects. 7.1.5 Heat treatment after forming shall be in accordance with the respective material standard. 7.1.6 Welding on to formed areas shall not be performed until heat treatment is complete. SIST EN 13480-4:2012

NOTE 1 For special design reasons, for example cyclic loading or stress corrosion, heat treatment in excess of that in Table 7.2.1-1 may be specified after cold forming. For austenitic steels having a required minimum value of elongation at rupture A5 equal to or greater than 30 %, a maximum level of 15 % cold deformation shall be acceptable.
NOTE 2 A greater deformation may be accepted if the evidence is supplied that there is a minimum elongation at break of 15 % after cold forming.
Such evidence shall be deemed supplied, if the acceptance certificate shows that elongation at rupture A5 is not less than 30 %. This shall be applicable only in cases where there is no risk of stress corrosion cracking. For austenitic steels having a required minimum value of elongation at rupture A5 less than 30 %, evidence shall be supplied that there is a minimum residual elongation of 15 % after cold forming. Deformation shall not exceed 10 % if the working temperature is below -196 °C.

normalized steels need not be renormalized ;
quenched and tempered steels need only be tempered provided that they have been rapidly cooled by water or air from the forming temperature. NOTE 2 Pipes bent using the incremental induction heating method (induction bends) may undergo thermal treatment during bending by the application of water or air quenches. NOTE 3 Carbon and carbon manganese steels formed using the induction bending process with air or water quenching may be suitable in the as-bent condition for applications where high impact resistance and ductility are not required. Such bends may be supplied without post-bending heat treatment provided that bend hardness does not exceed 285 HV. NOTE 4 Heat treatments for high alloyed ferritic material should follow as soon after forming as practicable, to minimise the risk of hydrogen induced cracking. The manufacturer shall demonstrate that the requisite properties are achieved in the final product by the examination and testing of one or more sample bends. These bends shall be made in accordance with all the relevant parameters to be used in production bends. These parameters include, but are not limited to, chemical composition, forming temperature, forming rate (speed), forming coolant supply, forming dimensions (e.g. bend radius and mr/od) and post-forming heat treatment. 7.3.2 Material groups 8.1 and 8.2 Austenitic steels which have been rapidly cooled from above the solution annealing temperature using water or air during the forming process shall not require post-forming heat treatment. Stabilized austenitic steels formed above the solution annealing temperature shall be subjected to post-forming stabilizing treatment. Stabilized austenitic steels formed in the stabilizing temperature range, shall not require subsequent treatment. Heat treatment shall be carried out in accordance with Table 7.3.2-1.
