In this series of blog posts, we are going to be looking at the Part 1 requirements for metallic industrial piping. This includes the 8 metallic types that must be considered when specifying and manufacturing such piping. So, if you are looking to manufacture metallic industrial piping, or need to specify it for a project, be sure to read on!
What is BS EN 13480 -Metallic industrial piping Metallic industrial piping ?
BS EN 13480 -Metallic industrial piping is a European standard for metallic industrial piping. It covers the requirements for design, manufacture, testing and certification of metallic industrial piping.
This standard was developed in response to the need for a standard that could be used to compare the performance of different types of metallic industrial piping.
In fact, BS EN 13480 is divided into six parts, each covering a specific area of the pipeline design process. Part 1 deals with the design of the pipeline itself. Part 2 covers the assessment of the environmental impact of the pipeline, part 3 covers testing and certification procedures. And Part 4 covers materials selection. Finally, part 5 covers construction methods.
BS EN 13480 is mandatory for all metallic industrial pipelines that are more than 50 mm in diameter and that are used in a corrosive environment.
What are the requirements of BS EN 13480 -Metallic industrial piping Metallic industrial piping
BS EN 13480 -Metallic industrial piping is a standard specification for metallic industrial piping. So, It covers the requirements for materials, design, manufacture, testing and inspection of metallic industrial piping.
The standard was developed to improve the safety and reliability of metallic industrial piping. It also helps to prevent corrosion and other failures.
Thus, To meet the standards, all metallic industrial piping must meet certain requirements. These requirements include:
-Material: All piping must be made from a suitable metal material.
-Design: The pipe must be designed to meet specific requirements for size, shape, and thickness.
-Manufacture: The pipe must be manufactured using a safe and reliable process.
-At last, Testing and Inspection: Testing and inspection must be performed to ensure that the pipe meets the required standards.
What are its benefits?
BS EN 13480 -Metallic industrial piping is a European standard for metallic industrial piping. It provides the necessary safety, quality and performance requirements for metallic industrial piping systems.
