SIST EN 12952-5:2012



EN 12952-5:2011 (E) 9 6.2 Material identification The manufacturer shall maintain a system of material identification for all pressure parts and drum lifting lugs. The system shall be such that material used in major pressure parts (drums, tubes for header shells with do > 142 mm) can be traced back to its origin. The identification of tubes which are not used for header shells and tubes for header shells with do ≤ 142 mm shall be controlled by a system which permits positive identification of cast, on receipt into the manufacturer's works and maintenance of the material type identification throughout manufacturing operations by marking. 6.3 Material marking 6.3.1 General The marking of materials shall be maintained throughout the process of manufacture. If original markings are discarded or parts without markings could be created by dividing up parts during the course of manufacture, markings shall be transferred, normally before fabrication. Appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure that there is no possibility of confusion in the transfer of markings. 6.3.2 Responsible personnel Marking transfer shall be performed by the manufacturer's nominated representative(s) except for materials for which an inspection certificate (3.2) to EN 10204:2004 is required and also not for components classified as small parts. In the case of materials for which an inspection certificate (3.2) to EN 10204:2004 is required, the markings shall be transferred in accordance with the requirements of EN 12952-6:2011. NOTE This does not apply to small parts which are those made from certified products, such as nipples, nozzles, flanges, compensating rings, with outside diameters equal to or less than 142 mm. 6.3.3 Method of marking In general, material marking should be done by hard stamping using a low stress type metal stamp or etching. NOTE Other marking methods may be used if the manufacturer can ensure that their use will not impair the safety of the boiler. 6.3.4 Marking of non-pressure parts For welded non-pressure parts, marking need only be transferred if the identification of materials is not evident from the drawing or parts list. 6.3.5 Marking of bolts and nuts Bolts and nuts for pressure purposes shall be marked with the manufacturer's brand mark and property class symbol, or the steel grade code number in accordance with EN ISO 4759-1:2000. 6.4 Marking during manufacture 6.4.1 Temporary marking Temporary marks for the purpose of identification during manufacture e.g. parts numbers, welder numbers, radiograph numbers, etc. shall be made by any one, or a combination, of the following methods: SIST EN 12952-5:2012



EN 12952-5:2011 (E) 10 a) painting or pen, provided they are compatible with the material being marked; b) vibro etching or other etching tool; c) metal stamps of the low stress type. 6.4.2 Permanent marking Permanent marks complying with the requirements of 6.2 shall be made by any one or a combination, of the following methods: a) vibro etching or other etching tools; b) metal stamps of the low stress type; c) stamped data plates welded directly to the component using an approved welding procedure specification. 6.4.3 Tube bends Metal stamping shall not be permitted on the curved area of tube bends. 6.4.4 Location drawings Location drawings may be provided in the case of welders marks, radiographs, etc. 7 Cutting, forming and fabrication tolerances 7.1 Cutting material 7.1.1 Methods for cutting Steel shall be cut by thermal means, shearing, sawing, machining or a combination of these methods. Thermal cutting may necessitate the use of preheating, depending on the type of steel and the thickness in question, which shall be applied in accordance with 10.3.3. It is recognized that the cold worked zone resulting from the shearing process need not be eliminated before welding if this zone will be fused during welding. 7.1.2 Post-cutting measures Any material damaged metallurgically in the process of cutting to size or forming the edge or end preparation shall be removed by machining, grinding, chipping or thermal-cutting back to sound metal. Surfaces that have been thermally cut shall be cut back by machining or grinding so as to remove all burnt metal, harmful notches, slag and scale, but slight discoloration of machine thermally cut edges on mild steel shall not be regarded as detrimental. If alloy steels are prepared by thermal cutting, the surface shall be dressed back by grinding or machining for a distance of at least 1,5 mm, unless it can be shown that the material has not been damaged by the cutting process. NOTE These requirements for dressing do not apply to surfaces that are prepared for electro-slag welding, where a thermally cut surface is generally acceptable without further treatment. After the edges of the material have been prepared for welding, they shall be visually examined for flaws, cracks, laminations, slag inclusions or other defects before further work is carried out. Any weld repairs that are required to materials damaged as a result of thermal cutting shall be to an approved welding procedure specification. SIST EN 12952-5:2012



EN 12952-5:2011 (E) 11 7.2 Forming of drums, headers and ends 7.2.1 General Drums, headers and ends shall be rolled or pressed from plate, solid forged, drawn or extruded, or made by a combination of these processes. Components made by a forging, drawing or extrusion process shall be produced in accordance with the forgemaster's specification, as agreed with the boiler manufacturer. Components formed from ferritic steel plate shall be heat treated in accordance with 10.2.2 to 10.2.4 inclusive. The heating associated with forming operations and the heat treatment requirements after forming are given in 10.2. The forming requirements applicable to austenitic steel plate are the subject of development. In the meantime, the methods used shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's own proven procedure which shall ensure that, by their use, the safety of the boiler is not impaired. 7.2.2 Drum and header shells Shell plates shall be formed, either hot or cold, to ensure compliance with the tolerances specified in 7.4. Each shell plate shall be formed to the correct contour up to the extreme edges of the plate. The bending or pressing shall be done entirely by machine. The definitions of hot and cold forming are given in 3.1 and 3.2. Local heating and hammering shall not be employed. 7.2.3 Ends Dishing and peripheral flanging, either hot or cold, shall be carried out to ensure compliance with the tolerances specified in 7.4. The operations shall be performed by machine. Sectional flanging shall not be employed. 7.2.4 Plates welded prior to hot or cold forming Where practicable, shells and ends shall be rolled or pressed from one piece of plate. Where this is impracticable, butt welding of plate, prior to forming shall be permitted, provided that the welded joints are non-destructively examined after forming in accordance with the requirements of EN 12952-6:2011, and a welding procedure qualification test has been performed to EN ISO 15614-1:2004 taking into account any heat treatment cycles involved. A production test plate as specified in 10.2.5 shall be provided. 7.2.5 Extruded openings in headers Extruded openings in headers shall have a fillet with a radius not less than the thickness of the neck of the extrusion. 7.3 Forming of tube bends 7.3.1 General Tubes which are bent hot or cold shall conform to 7.3.2 to 7.3.12. This subclause does not apply to fittings in accordance with EN 10253-2:2007 and EN 10253-4:2008. NOTE Annex A requires procedure tests to be carried out on tube bends. Attention is drawn to the fact that not all the combinations of materials and bending processes permitted, and the associated thermal treatments nominated in Table 7.3-2, will satisfy the requirements for the procedure test given in 7.3.2 to 7.3.13 and Annex A. The manufacturer should ensure that any combination of material, bending process and the chosen bend geometry will produce bends that satisfy the requirements of 7.3. If a chosen bend geometry is found not to comply with the requirements of 7.3, the manufacturer should adjust the design to enable the requirements to be met. SIST EN 12952-5:2012



EN 12952-5:2011 (E) 12 7.3.2 Tube bending procedure test It shall be demonstrated by means of a tube bending procedure test (see Annex A) that tubes can be satisfactorily bent to the requirements of 7.3.1. The tests
