Overview
EN 286-1:1998/A2:2005 is a critical European standard developed by CEN for simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen. This document specifically addresses Part 1, which covers pressure vessels for general purposes. The amendment introduced in 2005 (A2) adds a new normative Annex H that details the requirements for peaking-local irregularities or out-of-roundness caused by weld misalignment or profile deviations.
This standard ensures the structural integrity and safety of pressure vessels under various loading conditions by providing clear criteria for allowable imperfections and specifying precise measurement methods. EN 286-1:1998/A2:2005 must be implemented by CEN member countries, reflecting harmonized safety and quality expectations across Europe.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
Focus on simple unfired vessels for air or nitrogen containment, intended for general industrial and commercial use.Peaking Requirements
Annex H introduces detailed requirements on peaking, which is defined as out-of-roundness caused by weld joint misalignment or local profile irregularities.Measurement Methods
Peaking must be measured using a 20° profile gauge, bridge gauges, or needle gauges. Measurements are taken at approximately 250 mm intervals along the longitudinal welds to locate the maximum peaking.Limits for Irregularities
- Local profile irregularities (e.g., dents or flats) should be smooth with a maximum depth of 2% to 2.5% of the gauge length.
- Peaking at longitudinal welds has maximum allowable limits depending on vessel wall thickness and type of loading (dynamic/cyclic or static).
Dynamic and Cyclic Loads
Table H.1 specifies peaking limits for vessels under cyclic or dynamic loads, ranging from 1.5 mm up to 10 mm depending on wall thickness.Static Loads
Table H.2 outlines peaking limits for pressure vessels under static (non-cyclic) loads with values based on the wall thickness to diameter ratio.Safety Assurance
Any peaking values exceeding specified limits require additional proof through calculation or strain gauge measurements, with special analyses mandated for out-of-limit cases.
Applications
EN 286-1:1998/A2:2005 is essential for manufacturers, designers, and inspectors involved in the production and certification of pressure vessels used in:
- Industrial compressed air systems
- Nitrogen storage and supply equipment
- General purpose pressure containers in manufacturing and process industries
- Safety inspections and compliance testing of new or existing unfired pressure vessels
- Ensuring structural integrity against stress concentrations caused by weld imperfections
By adhering to this standard, stakeholders can minimize failure risks due to local deformation or peaking, improving overall vessel reliability and operational safety.
