European foreword
This document (EN 13941-1:2019/prA1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 107
“Prefabricated district heating and district cooling pipe system”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
EN 13941, District heating pipes — Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and twin
pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Design;
— Part 2: Installation.
In comparison to EN 13941:2019, the following changes have been made:
a) minor corrections throughout the document.

1 Modification to Clause 2 "Normative references"
Delete footnote 1 "Under preparation. Stage at time of publication: prEN 17248:2018." at the entry of
"EN 17248, District heating and district cooling pipe systems - Terms and definitions".
2 Modifications to Table 1 of Clause 3 "Terms and definitions, units and
symbols"
In Table 1, these modifications are to be applied for the following symbols:
— D /D delete "or m" in the Unit column;
C i
— K add "for cohesive soil and mixed soils" at the end of column "Name";
c
— K add "for granular soil and mixed soils" at the end of column "Name";
q
— "t " is to be replaced by "T ";
s g
— Z replace the unit "m" with "mm".
c
Insert the following row between the rows of "L" and "L ": "
p
L

Insert the following two rows between the rows of "q" and "q ": "
u
q

r

Replace the following rows: "
σ

d
σ

And delete the following row: "
σ
Hoop stress from internal (over)pressure MPa
p
".
3 Modifications to Table 9 of subclause 6.4.2 "Classification of actions and load
combinations"
In Table 9, replace "safety" with "load" changing the title to read "Classification of actions, partial load
factor and Load Combinations (LC)" and the first heading to "PARTIAL LOAD FACTORS γ ".
a
Delete the term "(Max foam compression)" in the cell for operational phase LC 3 "Force controlled and
deformation controlled actions"
Replace the load factor "Operating pressure" from LC 2, LC 3 and LC 4 "1,2" with "1,25".
4 Modification to subclause 6.5.5 "Combined lateral stiffness of steel service
pipe, PUR, expansion cushions and soil"
To change " D " in Formula (20b) to " D " replace the formula with
0 c
" kk⋅ D (20b)"
2 h2, c
and insert "for D " at Formula (21b) in front of "see Figure 13" resulting in
cu
" kk⋅ D for D see Figure 13 (21b)".

5 Modifications to subclause 6.5.7 " Thermal expansion of buried pipe sections:"
In the last line of the key to Figure 16 "Partly and fully restrained pipe sections" replace "NR" with "N "
R .
Replace the undefined "N " in Formula (24) with "N " changing it from
r R
σ σ
p p
" N=NN+ =A⋅ + N " to " N=NN+ =A⋅+ N ".

In the paragraph above Formula (27) and the one which follows, increment the numbering of "Figure 16"
and "Figure 15" by one to read as:
"For systems as Figure 17 where fixed points or other methods ensure that the distance l from the fixed
point to an expansion facility is shorter than or equal to the friction length L, or where the distance
between two expansion facilities is less than 2L, the axial stresses in the steel service pipe are calculated
as:



A 2 A

Expansion at the free pipe end from the partly restrained pipe (see Figure 16) is calculated as:".
6 Modification to subclause 6.5.9.2.4 "Excavations over the pipes"
π ⋅ EI≤⋅
To replace the "≤" sign from Formula (44) with "·"replace theformula " L= " with "

7 Modifications to subclause 6.6.2 "Cross section analyses, steel"
Replace "Figure 20" with "Figure 21" in the sentence "Stresses and internal forces are illustrated in
Figure 20." resulting in "Stresses and internal forces are illustrated in Figure 21.".
Replace “t-pieces” with “T-pieces” in the sentence after Formula (46), so that it reads “For T-pieces the
outside diameters d and d and the thickness t and t for run pipe and branch, respectively, are
ro bo r b
inserted.”.
Delete "normally" in the following note:
"NOTE The effect of vertical top load from soil pressure and traffic actions can normally be ignored for
pipe dimensions DN ≤ 300.".
8 Modification to subclause 6.6.3 "Assessment on the basis of a resultant
(equivalent) stress"
From the two sentences above Formula (47), delete the last one, thus replace
"The equivalent stress can be calculated both with the minimum distortion energy hypothesis (by von
Mises´ equation), or with the shear-stress hypothesis (by Tresca equation):
The equivalent stress is calculated from the axial and tangential stress components (calculated with sign)
by Tresca or by von Mises’ equation:" with
