: It defines parameters for both cold and hot forming. For instance, it specifies that heat treatment after cold forming must follow the respective material standard to recover mechanical properties.
: High emphasis is placed on the competence of welding personnel and the use of verified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS). It includes limits for Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) temperatures, typically capping them at 770°C for certain materials. 13480-4 pdf
: Requirements for the fabrication and installation of the structures that hold the piping in place. 2. Key Technical Requirements : It defines parameters for both cold and hot forming
: To prevent material confusion, the standard mandates clear marking via painting, lettering, or tagging. It explicitly recommends "low-stress" stamping to avoid notching effects that could lead to structural failure. It includes limits for Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)
: Alignment, fixing of supports, and connection of piping spools in the field.
: Cutting, bevelling, bending, and forming of piping components.
