The design temperature of each component in a piping system is the temperature
at which, under the coincident pressure, the greatest thickness or highest
component rating is required

This European Standard specifies the requirements for industrial piping systems
and support, including safety systems, made of metallic materials (but initially
restricted to steel) with a view to ensure safe operation.

1) For fluid temperatures below 40 °C, the calculation temperature for the component shall be taken as the
fluid temperature;
2) For fluid temperatures of 40 °C and above, unless a lower average wall temperature is determined by te
or heat transfer calculation, the calculation temperature for uninsulated components shall be not less than
the following values, but not less than 40°C:
i) 95 % of the fluid temperature for valves, pipes, ends, welding fittings, and other components having
wall thickness comparable to that of the pipe;
ii) 90 % of the fluid temperature for flanges (except lap joint flanges) including those on fittings and
valves;

A = elongation at rupture

SFCR is a safety factor which depends on the time and shall be in accordance with Table 5.3.2-1.
If the design lifetime is not specified, the mean creep rupture strength at 200 000 h shall be used.
In cases where the 200 000 h values are not specified in the material standards, the mean creep rupture s
at 150 000 h or 100 000 h shall be used.
In cases where design lifetimes shorter than 100 000 h are specified, one of the following methods shall be

b) If a lifetime monitoring system is provided, a safety factor of SFCR = 1,25 may be specified with regard t
mean creep rupture strength at the relevant lifetime of at least 10 000 h.
In no case, shall the 1 % creep strain limit (mean value) at 100 000 h be exceeded.

resistant materials should be considered where a large number of major stress cycle are anticipated.
Stress due to sustained loads
The sum of primary stresses 1, due to calculation pressure, pc, and the resultant moment, MA, from wei
other sustained mechanical loads shall satisfy the following equation:
