EN 13445-5: Equation 5.4.2 - The number of equivalent full pressure cycles

[SD12]

Hello!

I have made a calculation of the number of equivalent full pressure cycles and my result is far more than 500 cycles.
What is the procedure then? Should I take the number of equivalent full pressure cycles and compare it to FAT 100 S-N curve? Or it is more complicated than that?

Do we have worked examples on chapters 17 and 18 of EN13445-3?

That's defined in EN 13445-3, para 5.4.2, a.o. the last sentence.

If these conditions cannot be met, then a fatigue assessment is necessary according to either Clause 17 or Clause 18

Does this answer your question?

I actually haven't seen this sentence. I have the standard issue from 2015.
Thank you.

Are there any worked examples for chapters 17 and 18?

Havent looked, but get a copy of the standard, and get to know your standards.
