EN13445

I am using EN13445-3 2002 to design a vessel - operating temp 530 deg C. I remember a section stating that designing for creep was to be incorporated in a later edition, but I can't find the paragraph now.

My question is: has design for creep now been included, else I will have to use a stainless steel for the vessel material which will increase the cost significantly.

Cobus..

Your design is fpr a 530C (about 986F) pressure vessel.....HHHmmmm...

What material were you going to use at this temperature that was going to be significantly cheaper than stainless steel ? Can you tell us ?

Certainly not carbon steel...........?

Amendment A1 to EN 13445-2 deals with creep and was published in 2007. But Part 2 of EN 13445 is the part for materials. Part 3 is for design.

@MJCronin, the design was going to be in PD5500 and I was using BS1501-620B plate.

@ulyssess, does the latest part 3 now allow creep design or not?

Yes
