This information on the European standards for butt-welding fittings is
an exclusive service of the ERNE FITTINGS GmbH, published for TUBE
in April 2010.
Information Service
The European standards (EN standards) for buttwelding fittings have been published at random
intervals up until 2009 and replace the corresponding previous national standards (AFNOR, BS, DIN,
ÖNORM).
This brochure contains important information regarding the
content of the standards especially with respect to the
comparison made with the previous, applicable DIN standards.
The corresponding national standards were withdrawn after
all 4 sections of the EN-10253 were published. The following
is a reference to the corresponding DIN standards.

Fittings for butt-welding
DIN 2605
DIN 2609
DIN 2615

DIN 2617
EN 10253-1
Wrough carbon steel for general use and without specific
inspection requirments.
EN 10253-2
Non alloy and ferritic alloy steel with specific inspection
requirements.
EN 10253-3
Wrought austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless
steels without specific inspection requirements.
EN 10253-4
Wrought austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless
steels with specific inspection requirements.
Sections 1 and 3 (EN 10253-1, EN 10253-3) describe fittings
which do not satisfy the important safety standards in terms of
the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) and which cannot
be used for applications according to Article 3, Paragraph 3, of
the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC). These sections of
the EN 10253 will therefore not be considered in this brochure.

EN 10253-2
Fittings for butt-welding; non alloy and ferritic alloy steel
with specific inspection requirements.
(designated as Section -2 in this brochure)
EN 10253-4
Fittings for butt-welding; austenitic and austenitic-ferritic
(duplex) stainless steels without specific inspection requirements.
(designated as Section -4 in this brochure)
Seamless and welded fittings for butt-welding are: elbows,
concentric and excentric reducers, tees with equal and reduced
ends and caps.
The EN 10253-2 and -4 support the underlying safety
requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC)
and are harmonized standards for materials.
According to the Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC)
and other guidelines (e.g. Guideline 7/19) seamless fittings are
considered to be materials whereas welded fittings, including
those that are made from welded pipes, are considered to be
components. Details are listed in the informative Appendix ZA
of the standards.

Comparison

>
EN 10253-2/-4
The EN standards describe the basic specifications which can
be supplemented with additional options upon request and
placement of orders.
Type of fitting
Typ A
Decreased pressure factor
Same wall thickness on the weld ends and on the fitting body as
for a pipe with the same specified wall thickness. Their resistance
to internal pressure is less than that of a pipe with the same diameter, same wall thickness and made of the same grade of steel.
The required calculation methods are based on the calculation
standards defined in EN 13480-3 (Section -2 in Appendix A,
Section -4 in Appendix B). The respective utilization rate for some
of the specified wall thicknesses is listed in tables in the Appendix
B (Section -2) and in Appendix C (Section -4).
Typ B
Full pressure factor
Increased wall thicknesses on the fitting body, same resistance to
internal pressure as for a pipe with the same diameter, same wall
thickness and made of the same grade of steel.
The required calculation methods are based on the calculation
standards defined in EN 13480-3 (Section -2 in Appendix A,
Section -4 in Appendix B). The respective increased wall thickness
for some of the specified wall thicknesses is listed in the tables in
the Appendix C (Section -2) and in Appendix D (Section -4).

DIN standards
DIN 2605, 2609, 2615, 2616, 2617
DIN standards
The basic specifications are described in the DIN standards.
In some of the sections, additional options are specially
labeled for use when agreed upon in the order.
DIN 2605-1, DIN 2615-1, DIN 2616-1
Decreased pressure factor
These standards apply to steel fittings for butt-welding, whose
wall thicknesses are the same as those of the pipes they are
welded to; however they only permit a lower internal pressure.
The basis for the calculation is TRD 301.
The respective utilization rate for some of the specified
wall thicknesses is defined in Tables 1 and 2.
DIN 2605-2, DIN 2615-2, DIN 2616-2, DIN 2617
Full pressure factor
The respective DIN standards apply to steel fittings for buttwelding which are able to resist the same internal pressure as
the pipe they are welded to.
The basis for the calculation is TRD 301.
The respective increased wall thickness for some of the
specified wall thicknesses on the fitting body is listed in
Tables 1 and 2.
