DIN EN 12953-1:2012

Shell boilers - Part 1: General; German version EN 12953-1:2012

This European Standard applies to shell boilers with volumes in excess of 2 litres for the generation of steam and/or hot water at a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar and with a temperature in excess of 110 °C. This European Standard specifies requirements for both directly fired and electrically heated boilers including Low Pressure Boilers (LPB) as well as for heat recovery boilers with a gas-side pressure not exceeding 0,5 bar of cylindrical design, constructed from carbon or carbon manganese steels by fusion welding and a design pressure not exceeding 40 bar. The boilers covered by this European Standard are intended for land use for providing steam or hot water. Where a particular boiler is a combination of shell and water tube design then the water tube standard series EN 12952 is used in addition tothis European Standard. One such example of this combination is shown in this standard. This European Standard applies to the generator, from the feed-water or water inlet connection to the steam or water outlet connection and to all other connections, including the valves and steam and water fittings. If welded ends are used, the requirements specified herein begin or end at the weld where flanges, if used, would have been fitted. This European standard does not apply to the following types of boilers and equipments: a) water-tube boilers; b) non stationary boilers, e. g. locomotive boilers; c) thermal oil boilers; d) boilers where the main pressure housing is made of cast material. e) pumps, gaskets, etc. f) brickwork setting and insulation.
