Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Wrought products and cast products - Special requirements for products intended for the production of pressure equipment

This European Standard specifies the material requirements and testing procedures applicable to wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for use in the production of pressure equipment, according to the definition given in European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
The standard covers:
-   the products forms, grades and tempers of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys which may be used for such applications together with data for wrought and cast alloys over their permissible working temperature ranges;
-   the permissible alloys/ tempers covered by this are those given in Table A.1 and in B.1 for wrought alloys and in Table A.2 and in B.2 for castings;
-   the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical property limits and tolerances on form and dimensions by reference to the appropriate European standards for the relevant wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys, and
-   additional requirements which are specific to pressure equipment applications.
It applies to hot-rolled plate, cold-rolled sheet/ strip/ circles, extruded or extruded and cold drawn rod/bar, tube, extruded open / hollow profiles, forgings and castings.
It is the sole objective of this standard to cover materials only for pressure purposes and it excludes any elements of fabrication or fabrication methods for pressure equipment; such information can be found in the relevant standards listed in the 'Bibliography' section.

Overview

EN 12392:2016/FprA1 - Aluminium and aluminium alloys: Wrought and cast products - Special requirements for products intended for the production of pressure equipment - is a CEN standard that defines the material requirements and testing procedures for aluminium materials used in pressure equipment in accordance with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC). The standard focuses exclusively on materials (not fabrication or assembly) and covers both wrought and cast aluminium alloys across their permissible working temperature ranges.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope of products: hot-rolled plate; cold-rolled sheet, strip and circles; extruded (and extruded & cold drawn) rod/bar; tubes; extruded open/hollow profiles; forgings; and castings.
  • Permissible alloys and tempers: lists of allowable wrought alloys/tempers (Table A.1 and B.1) and cast alloys (Table A.2 and B.2) for pressure applications.
  • Material composition limits: chemical composition requirements for cast products (Clause 7, Table 3) - updated in amendment prA1 - including limits for Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ti and “other” elements.
  • Mechanical properties and testing: mandatory mechanical property limits and specified testing procedures to verify strength, ductility and other performance metrics relevant to pressure service.
  • Inspection and delivery conditions: technical conditions for inspection, delivery documentation and conformity verification by reference to the appropriate EN product standards.
  • Form, dimensional tolerances: tolerances on form and dimensions are specified by reference to relevant European standards for the particular wrought or cast alloy form.
  • Pressure-specific additional requirements: extra provisions that apply only when materials are intended for pressure equipment (e.g., traceability, special testing regimes).

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 12392:2016/FprA1 is used by:

  • Material suppliers and mills specifying and certifying aluminium products for pressure equipment.
  • Pressure equipment manufacturers (pressure vessels, piping, heat exchangers, boilers) selecting compliant aluminium alloys.
  • Design and mechanical engineers ensuring materials meet PED 97/23/EC-related material requirements.
  • Notified Bodies, inspectors and testing laboratories verifying compliance and performing required mechanical and chemical tests.
  • Procurement and quality assurance teams drafting purchase specifications and acceptance criteria.

Note: this standard is material-focused and does not cover fabrication, welding or assembly methods - those are found in separate standards listed in the Bibliography.

Related standards

  • European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED) - regulatory context for pressure equipment materials.
  • Relevant EN standards for specific wrought and cast aluminium alloys (referenced within EN 12392 and its Bibliography).
