5.3 Elongation after fracture Aluminium and aluminium alloys used for parts of industrial piping that are subjected to cold forming shall have a specified minimum elongation after fracture measured on a gauge length ooSL65,5 that is 14 % in the longitudinal or transverse direction as defined by the material specification.
Aluminium and aluminium alloys used for parts of industrial piping that are not subjected to cold forming (e.g. straight flanges and nozzles) shall have a specified minimum elongation after fracture measured on a gauge length
ooSL65,5 that is 10 % in the longitudinal or transverse direction as defined by the material specification.
5.6 Design temperature and properties NOTE See also 4.2.2 of EN 13480-2:2012.
The 2nd paragraph of 4.2.2.1 of EN 13480-2:2012 is not applicable for aluminium and aluminium alloys.
The maximum design temperature shall not exceed that defined in Table 1 of EN 12392:2000 as the maximum working temperature. For material of group 22.4 the maximum design temperature is 75 °C
(200 °C for non-corrosive service). The mechanical properties used for design shall be taken from the tabulated values in EN 12392:2000 at room temperature for Rm/20 / Re/20 and at the highest design temperature for Re/t.
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 6.2-2 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 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 are permitted (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. 5.7 Prevention of brittle fracture Annex B of EN 13480-2:2012 is not applicable. All materials of Table 5.2-1 are suitable for any minimum metal temperature without impact testing. NOTE See also EN 1252-1:1998 and 8.4 of EN 12392:2000.

6.3 Straight pipes In general, straight pipes shall be designed in accordance with 6.1 of EN 13480-3:2012. For D0/Di > 1,2 Equation 6.3-1 may be used. In this case pipes shall be seamless or tested in accordance with 8.4.3 and 8.6 of this European Standard for z = 1,0 and the maximum allowable pressure pa shall be determined as follows: 1,51xlnxxai0t,2,0p32DDRp (6.3-1) For material group 21 Rp1,0,t shall be used instead of Rp0,2,t. 6.4 Pipe bends and elbows The standard method for calculation of bends and elbows for aluminium and aluminium alloys shall be the method described in B.4.1.3 of EN 13480-3:2012, Annex B. NOTE 1 This clause should not be understood as to prohibit the other methods given in EN 13480-3:2012, but to reflect the actual situation at the bend manufacturers. NOTE 2 Also see 6.2.3 and Annex B, Equation B4.1-11 of EN 13480-3:2012. 6.5 Mitre bends Clause 6.3 of EN 13480-3:2012 may be used for the design of mitre bends for aluminium and aluminium alloys.
Alternatively the method described in Equations 6.5-1 to 6.5-4 may also be used for multiple mitre bends for aluminium and aluminium alloys according to Figure 6.5-1 with a maximum angle , of 22,5°. The pressure limit given in EN 13480-3:2012, 6.3.1 is not applicable for this method. NOTE Current experiences are available up to pressures of 63 bar for time independent design stresses, however this does not prohibit the calculation of mitre bends to the given equation for use of higher pressures, but shows the reference pressure for which mitre bends made of aluminium and aluminium alloys and designed to the rules are in safe operation.
