Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Wrought products and cast products - Special requirements for products intended for the production of pressure equipment

Scope

This document specifies the material requirements and testing procedures applicable to wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for use in the production of pressure equipment.
This document covers:
- the products forms, grades and tempers of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys which are used for such applications together with data for wrought and cast alloys over their permissible working temperature ranges;
- the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical property limits and tolerances on form and dimensions by reference to the appropriate European standards for the relevant wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys;
- additional requirements which are specific to pressure equipment applications.
It applies to hot-rolled plate, cold-rolled sheet/strip/circles, extruded or extruded and cold drawn rod/bar, tube, extruded open/hollow profiles, forgings and castings. Considering this, this document is intended to be used in conjunction with the EN 573 series, EN 485 series, EN 941, EN 754 series, EN 755 series, EN 586 series and EN 1706. The materials and application ranges covered by this document are those given in Annex A, Table A.1 for wrought alloys and Table A.2 for castings.
The objective of this document is to only cover the materials used for components of pressure equipment. Fabrication or fabrication methods for pressure equipment are excluded from this document.
