4 Requirements for materials to be used for pressure containing parts in industrial
piping
4.1 General
4.1.1 Materials to be used for pressure containing parts in industrial piping shall meet the general
requirements of 4.1 and the special provisions of 4.2 if applicable. Materials for pressure containing parts shall
be ordered complying with the technical delivery conditions in 4.3.
Marking of materials for pressure containing parts shall be performed in accordance with 4.4.
Materials shall be selected in accordance with Annex A.
Materials shall be selected to be compatible with anticipated fabrication steps and to be suitable for the internal
fluid and external environment. Both normal operating conditions and transient conditions occurring during
fabrication, transport, testing, commissioning and decommissioning shall be taken into account when specifying
the materials.
NOTE 1 The requirements of 4.1 and 4.2 can also be fulfilled when technical delivery conditions are developed for
European Standards for materials , European Approval of Materials or Particular Material Appraisals.
NOTE 2 When technical delivery conditions for pressure-containing parts are developed, the structure and
requirements of EN 764-4:2014 can be met. Exceptions can be technically justified.
The materials shall be grouped in accordance with CEN ISO/TR 15608:2017 to relate manufacturing and
inspection requirements to generic material types.
NOTE 3 Materials have been allocated into these groups in accordance with their chemical composition and properties
in relation to manufacture and heat treatment after welding.
4.1.2 Materials for pressure containing parts compliant with the requirements of this European Standard
shall be certified on the basis of EN 10204:2004.
NOTE The certification can be in accordance with EN 764-5:2014.
4.1.3 The products shall be free from surface and internal defects which might impair their usability.
4.1.4 The specified minimum elongation of the steel after fracture shall be:
— ≥ 14 % for the transverse direction; and
— ≥ 16 % for the longitudinal direction, or where this is the less critical direction, the transverse direction;
when measured on a gauge length, L , calculated as follows:
L0= 5,65 (4.1-1)
S
where
S is the original cross sectional area within the gauge length in order to fulfil formula 4.1-1.
However, lower elongation values than specified in 4.1 (e. g. for fasteners or castings) can also be applied,
provided that appropriate measures shall be taken by the parties concerned to compensate for these lower
values and that compliance with the specific requirements is verifiable.
NOTE Examples of appropriate measures:
— application of higher safety factors in design;
— performance of appropriate burst tests to demonstrate ductile material behaviour.
4.1.5 When measured on a gauge length other than that stated in 4.1.4, the minimum elongation after fracture
shall be determined by converting the elongation given in 4.1.4 in accordance with:
— EN ISO 2566-1:2021 for carbon and low alloy steels;
— EN ISO 2566-2:2021 for austenitic steels.
4.1.6 Steels shall have a specified minimum impact energy measured on a Charpy V-notch impact test
specimen (EN ISO 148-1:2016) as follows:
— ≥ 27 J for ferritic and 1,5 % to 5 % Ni alloyed steels;
— ≥ 40 J for steels of material groups 8, 9.3 and 10,
at a test temperature in accordance with Annex B, but not higher than 20 °C. The other requirements of Annex B
shall also apply.
4.1.7 The chemical composition of steels intended for welding or forming shall not exceed the values given
in Table 4.1-1. Exceptions shall be technically justified.

4.2 Special provisions
4.2.1 Special properties
Where the behaviour of a material can be affected by manufacturing processes or operating conditions, to an
extent that would adversely affect the safety or service life of the piping system, this shall be taken into
consideration when specifying the material.
Adverse effects can arise from:
— manufacturing processes: e.g. degree of cold forming, heat treatment;
— operating conditions: e.g. hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion, scaling, wear, ageing behaviour after cold
forming.
4.2.2 Design temperature above 20 °C
4.2.2.1 A material shall only be used for pressure parts within the range of temperatures for which the
material properties required by EN 13480-3:2024 are specified in the technical specification for the material.
If the technical delivery condition does not contain the specific material values required for the design
temperature TR the values required in EN 13480-3:2024 for the design shall be determined by linear
interpolation between the two adjacent values. Values shall not be rounded up.
For other than austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steels, the specified value of R (R ) at room
eH p0,2
temperature can be used for temperatures less than or equal to 50 °C. Interpolation for design temperatures
between 50 °C and 100 °C shall be performed with the values of R at room temperature and at 100 °C, and
eH
using 20 °C as the starting point for interpolation. Above 100 °C linear interpolation shall be performed between
the tabulated values given in the appropriate material standards.
In the case of creep rupture strength values or strength values for plastic strain in a given time, linear
interpolation shall be permissible only if the difference between the two temperatures serving as starting points
for the interpolation is equal to or less than 10 °C.
4.2.2.2 Materials in the creep range shall not be used unless the creep rupture strength values or strength
values for plastic strain needed for design are specified in the base material specification. The manufacturer
of the piping system installation shall be assured by the material supplier that the material supplied is capable
of complying with specified properties (within the normal scatter band) by a statement that the manufacturing
processes have remained equivalent to those for the steel for which the test results were obtained.
4.2.3 Prevention of brittle fracture
The requirements given in Annex B shall apply.
4.2.4 Specific requirements for fasteners
Fasteners include bolts, studs and nuts.
Free cutting steel shall not be used. Fasteners made of carbon steel or low alloyed ferritic steel with > 3,5 %
nickel shall not be used above 300 °C.
The specified minimum tensile strength of bar material of ferritic and martensitic steel for bolts shall not
exceed 1 000 N/mm . The minimum elongation after fracture of bar material shall be at least 14%.
Impact requirements for ferritic steels shall be in accordance with B.2.2-4.
Bolt material with a design temperature below –160 °C shall be impact tested at –196 °C.
Hydrogen embrittlement, fatigue or relaxation properties shall be taken into account where appropriate.
NOTE Detailed requirements on the surface condition and internal soundness of the bar can be necessary for some
applications.
4.2.5 Lined piping
The pressure containing steel of lined industrial piping need not be suitable for the internal fluid if the lining
provides leak tight containment during operation.
4.3 Technical delivery conditions
4.3.1 European Standards
The European Standards for plates, strips, bars, tubes, forgings, fittings and castings for pressure purposes
shall be used.
NOTE 1 Table D.1-1 provides an informative summary of European Materials Standards for steels and steel
components for pressure purposes.
NOTE 2 Table D.2-1 provides an informative summary regarding materials for pressure purposes specified in
harmonised standards grouped according to product forms.
Special provisions due to fabrication and operation shall be taken into account, if appropriate.

NOTE Equivalent national/international specifications are accepted which fulfil the same criteria with respect to the
requirements for the Quality System and the requirements for manufacture, supply distribution, test methods and
evaluation of consumables.
4.4 Marking
The marking of the products or delivery units shall ensure traceability between the product or delivery unit and
the inspection documents.
For European standardized materials, the marking shall fulfil the requirements of the relevant standard. For
materials not contained in a European standard the marking shall at least contain:
— the material specification (reference, material designation);
— the manufacturer's name or mark;
— the stamp of the inspection representative, if applicable.
For material supplied with specific inspection the marking shall include an identification which permits the
correlation between the product or delivery unit and the relevant inspection document.
5 Requirements for materials to be used for non-pressure parts
For non-pressure parts, e.g. supporting lugs, skirts, baffles and similar parts welded to industrial piping, and for
welding consumables, materials shall be used which are supplied to material specifications covering at least the
requirements for the chemical composition and the tensile properties. These materials shall not limit the
operating conditions of the material to which they are attached.
Requirements on materials used for pipe supports are specified in EN 13480-3:2024.

Annex B
(normative)
Requirements for prevention of brittle fracture at low temperatures
B.1 General
This annex distinguishes between pressure equipment that has design temperature for normal operation
higher or lower than 50 °C.
For pressure equipment with normal operation temperatures higher than 50 °C B.5 applies. If B.5 is not
applicable, the following rules for lower normal operation temperatures shall be used.
For pressure equipment with design temperature equal to or less than 50 °C this annex specifies three
alternative methods for establishing criteria for the prevention of low temperature brittle fracture of
steels in the form of plate, strip, tubes, fittings, forgings, castings, flanges, fasteners and weldments used
in pressure parts. In this case, the temperature for the design T shall be determined . The criteria are
R
based on impact energy requirements at specified temperatures for the base material, heat affected zone
(including the fusion line) and weld metals.
The three methods are:
Method 1 Code of Practice:
Technical requirements
a) Technical requirements based on the choice of TR = T27J as specified in harmonised
European Material Standards and on the assumption that it is possible to achieve these
minimum properties after fabrication. Calculated from the principles of fracture
mechanics used for method 2 for C and CMn steels with yield strength < 460 MPa and
b) based on operating experience for Ni-alloyed steels with Ni ≥ 3 % up to 9 %, for
austenitic steels and for bolts and nuts.
Method 2 Method developed from the principles of fracture mechanics and from operating
experiences:
A more flexible approach than method 1 for derivation of technical requirements applicable
to C, CMn and low alloy ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength ≤ 500 N/mm
and for austenitic-ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength ≤ 550 N/mm . This
method can be applied for these steels to a wider range of thicknesses and temperatures
than method 1 because T must not be equal to T (see Figures B.2-1 to B.2-11). In addition
R 27J
for ferritic steels with max. 355 N/mm in PWHT condition operation experience was
considered for higher thicknesses.

Including temperatures at pressure tests
See EN 13480-2:2024, 3.1.3.
Method 3 The application of a fracture mechanics analysis:
This general method is applicable to cases not covered by methods 1 or 2. This method can
also be used to justify deviations from the requirements of method 1 or 2. Only general
guidance is given on the use of this method which shall only be used in agreement with the
parties concerned.
Each of the three methods can be used independently. It is only necessary to satisfy the requirement of
any one method.
All applicable combinations of the temperatures T (minimum metal temperature) and T (temperature
M A
adjustment term) shall be considered and the lowest possible T -value (design reference temperature)
R
shall be used for the determination of the required material impact test temperature.
NOTE For definitions of temperature terms see 3.1.1 to 3.1.4.
B.2 Material selection and impact energy requirements
B.2.1 General
The methods specified in B.2.2 (Method 1) or B.2.3 (Method 2) shall be used to determine the impact
energy required to avoid brittle fracture. Alternatively, B.2.4 (Method 3) can be used to determine the
required toughness. The method used shall be fully documented, in order to ensure that compliance can
be verified.
Reference thickness for constructional details is specified in Table B.5-1.
B.2.2 Method 1 – Code of practice
B.2.2.1 General
Method 1 allows the selection of materials taken from harmonised European material standards with
regard to prevention of brittle fracture. Table B.2-1 gives an overview to the following tables by steel type
and product form.
The weld metal, the heat affected zone and other parts affected by manufacturing processes shall satisfy
