DIN EN 1708-1:2010-05

The purpose of this standard is to exemplify commonly accepted welded connections in pressure systems. It does not promote the standardization of connections that may be regarded as mandatory or restrict development in any way. Stress analysis rules are to be considered if necessary. This standard contains examples of connections welded by processes 111, 12, 13, 14 or 15 (process numbers according to EN ISO 4063) in steel pressure systems. Other processes by agreement. The estimation of the suitability of welded connections for special service conditions, for example corrosion, creep, low temperture and fatigue are not specially considered.
