rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1708-1:1999.

1 Scope
y
p The purpose of this European 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 should be considered if necessary.
This standard contains examples of connections welded by:
 Manual metal-arc welding with covered electrode (111);
 Submerged arc welding (12);
 Gas shielded metal arc welding (13);
 Tungsten inert gas arc welding; TIG-welding (14);
 Plasma arc welding (15)

processes (process numbers according to EN ISO 4063) in steel pressure systems. Other processes by
agreement.
This standard covers welded joint details in steel, but can be applied to other metallic materials. In such cases
the shape and dimensions of the weld should be checked.
y The estimation of the suitability of welded connections for special service conditions, for example corrosion
and fatigue are not specially considered.

) alternatives shown for each type of connection, consideration shall be given to existing fabrication and service
( conditions that pertain.
y
p 3.2 Joint preparation (geometry and size)
3.2.1 General
The limitations quoted in weld profiles and sizes are based on commonly accepted practice, but they may be
subjected to modifications if required by special welding techniques or design conditions, which should be
included in the design documents and in the welding procedure specifications (WPS).
3.2.2 Joint preparation geometry
Examples of recommended joint preparation geometry (e.g. bevel angles, root radius, presence of backing
strips, root faces) are referred to EN ISO 9692-1 when applicable and to EN ISO 9692-2 relative to
submerged arc welding process. Missing dimensions of preparations are in accordance with EN ISO 9692-1.
In case where full penetration butt joints are indicated, it is intended that they shall be back chipped or gouged
and back welded, or alternatively that the welding procedure shall be such as to ensure sound, effective root
penetration.
For relevant difference of thickness (generally a difference of about 3 mm (see Table 1, no. 1.1.1 to 1.1.6)
could be considered relevant; in any case the thickness of material shall be taken into account, as well as the
shape of the joint) of parts to be butt welded, the thickest element shall be shaped with a slope of 1:5 up to
1:2. Smoother transition of wall thickness is applicable in severe service conditions.
y
3.2.3 Weld sizes
The thickness of welds (in particular of fillet welds), which are not determined by their profile, are based on the
assumption that the connection need not be stronger than the connected parts.
3.3 Presentation
g
Figure 1 — Transversal section Figure 2 — Longitudinal section
The drawings of the nozzle and branch connections (see Tables 2 and 3) show a transversal section of the
connection (see Figure 1) and a longitudinal section of the connection (see Figure 2).
3.4 Removal of internal sharp edges in branch bores
It will be noted that the internal edges on the bores of branches are shown partially radiused (for example see
y
p Table 2, no. 2.1.6) because a stress concentration occurs at this point. The rounding of the edges is
recommended when the branch connection is subjected to severe service conditions like fatigue, creep and
stress corrosion.

3.5 Preparation of holes in shell for set-through branches
(
y In case of set-in and set-through branches (according to Table 2, no. 2.2 and no. 2.3) holes in the shell may
p be cut and profiled in two ways as follows:
 The depth of the grooves h1 and h2 may be constant around the hole as shown in Figure 3.
Key
h,h depth of the grooves
1 2
Figure 3 — Preparation of holes in the shell
 The roots of the joint preparations may be in one plane, as for example when they are machine drilled, in
which case the depths of the grooves will vary around the hole as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 — Preparation of holes in the shell
3.6 Welds for smooth transition
In some cases it is convenient to foresee a fillet weld providing smooth geometric transition from the surface
g of one welded part to the surface of the other one, e.g. from branch to shell. Its purpose is to soften the notch
effect in the branch-shell edge and therefore the throat thickness is not presented on the figure concerned.
3.7 Oblique and tangential branches
g The welded connections are contained in Tables 1 to 13. Regarding branches, the oblique and tangential
ones are not specially considered as their preparation is similar to that reported on Tables 2 and 3 for radial
branches. Only some significant cases are therefore considered (see Table 2, no. 2.2).
NOTE 1 The welds are only blackened in the following tables when the figures do not give information about the
dimension of the values for the preparation.
NOTE 2 It is not intended that the values of the dimension given in the tables should be measured precisely but rather
the general philosophy should be applied.
