The final stimulus for revision wat, without doubt, the publication of draft Standard ISO/DIS 4200. With the publication of this draft, [SO has put forward ing [daze abour the future development of standardization \work in the field of steel pipes, In the voting procedure, the craft was accepted by a large majority. In the German version it appears 2s Standard DIN ISO 4200. “The ISO Standoed serves twa purposes 2) It provides guidelines for the selection of pipe dimensions for all activities in the field of stanc- ardization of steel piper, both national and intr: national; b} It enables dimensional data to be looked up and avoids the possibility that different countries will textablch clifferent numerical values for the conventional ‘masses per unit length of pipes that are of one and the same size In order to comply with the frst purpose of the ISO Stenderd, therefore, frst of ali not only has the range ff pines which can be manufactured been set out in 2 table, but the outside diameters have been classified in three series, the series and their meanings being clearly efined. For pipes with outside diameters in series one, furthermore, preferred wall thicknesses have been stipulated. The purpose of these measures isto stimulate ‘those selecting pipe gimensions, to examine whether or not 8 pipe having an outside diameter in series 1, with ‘one of the preferred wall thicknesses, can in fact be ‘employed. In this context, the authors of the Standerd ‘expect in the long term to achieve a rationalization of pipe dimensions. The criterion governing the alocstion of an oursise diameter of pipe to one or another of the tee series, is the avallability of etanderdized accessories. The pre ‘erred wall thicknesses were selected under the aspect that stepped ranges of internal pressures shoul be covered, ‘economically, These considerations were sso extendes to the standard wall thicknesses according to the existing Standards DIN 2448 and DIN 2458, The problem of preferred wall thicknesses wat examined by the French Selegation in great detail; reterence should be made to the work of E, Bertin ). In Tables 1 and 2 in ISO 4200 it 's evident that where preferred wall thicknesses are concerned, no numerical value exceeding 12.5 mm is Included. The reason for this is that in ISO it was generally felt that pipes having larger wal thicknesses are led for pressure anges, where, a5 9 rule, 2 precise calcula: ‘ion of wall thickness will be made. The question arose as to whether, in the presonce of @ DIN {SO Standard, Standards DIN 2448 and DIN 2458 ‘ace now in any way justified. n this context, the tech nical committee put forward a series of reasons: 160 First ofall it appesrs desirable thatthe reader ofthe table listing possible pipe dimensions, should be informed fon what areas of the pipe stocks available world-wide a covered by industry and commerce in Germany. Another essential reason for maintaining the two DIN Standards wat deomed to be that in the ISO Standard no limit on the range of seamless and welded see! pipet which can, be manufactured, is indicated. This kind ot limit cannot be set internationally. iso, inthe general tble of pipe dimensione contained in ISO 4200, pipe dimensions for pipes made from stainless steels ar listed, in respect of which we have our own standard dimentions both in the national (eg, DIN 2462 Part 1 and DIN 2463 Part 1) and inthe international fields (eg. $0 1127 and 1$0 1129) In thie context, there is no doubt thet the German reader will find it useful to have the cange of avilable pipes clearly set out for him. ‘A further difference between the DIN Standards and the 180 Standard lies inthe fact that the two DIN Standards lay down the designation of the pipe. Inthe ISO Standard, this Is not done. However, she “DIN designation” lament points at a real problem: its true, that using the DIN desianation according to DIN 2448 or DIN 2458, {is possible to deterrnine the dimensions and material of a pins in 2 parts lst; However, the pipe cannot be lordered using there data alone. This has already been clearly established, In draft Standards DIN 2428 and DIN 2458 alresdy published, for this reason no example cof a designation was included. It was established thece ‘that the pipes haa to be designated In secordance with ‘she corresponding technical conditions of delivery. However, these are at prerent not available in a form permitting an immediate conversion to snew designation, Very strong objections were also raised tothe elimination ff the DIN designation so far used. In ciscussing the ‘objections, however, it wss confirmed that the DIN esignation is inadequate for ordering and delivery. tn view of the stage in development of the dimensional standards on the one hand and ofthe technical condition of delivery on the other, it wes decided to retein the DIN designation hitherto used, but to include in the ‘wo OIN Stenderds an additional section forthe order code, n thi section, the necessary dats for unambiguous ordering are explained making reference to an example. ‘The problem of how, in communiestions between the purchaser and the manufacturer, a pipe should generally be designated, requires still more detailed consicerstion in stsoeiation with the modification of the technical ‘conditions of delivery. 4 180 Standardization in the field of steel pipes and fitting: for welding, (or the transport of iguids and {or general applications, DIN:Mitteilungen [DIN News) §7, 1978, No. 8.este asez ma
