DIN EN 10253-3 Berichtigung 1 2013-07 PDF

Full title and description

STB DIN EN 10253-3 Berichtigung 1 2013-07 — Formstücke zum Einschweißen / Butt-welding pipe fittings. German version of EN 10253-3:2008 with Corrigendum (Berichtigung 1) issued July 2013. The correction (Berichtigung 1:2013-07) amends the original DIN EN 10253-3:2009-02 for wrought austenitic and austenitic‑ferritic (duplex) stainless steel fittings delivered without specific inspection requirements.

Abstract

This document is a corrigendum to DIN EN 10253-3 (butt‑welding pipe fittings) and clarifies/corrects specific editorial and technical items in the 2009 German edition. The underlying part EN 10253-3 specifies technical delivery requirements for seamless and welded butt‑welding fittings (elbows, concentric and eccentric reducers, equal and reducing tees, caps) made of austenitic and austenitic‑ferritic (duplex) stainless steels, including requirements for materials, dimensions, tests, inspection documents, marking and packaging.

General information

• Status: Active / current edition with Corrigendum 1 (2009 main text amended by Berichtigung 1:2013-07).
• Publication date: Original DIN EN 10253-3 published 1 February 2009 (2009-02); Corrigendum (Berichtigung 1) published 1 July 2013.
• Publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN).
• ICS / categories: 23.040.40 (Metal fittings); also relevant: 77.140.20 (Stainless steels).
• Edition / version: DIN EN 10253-3:2009-02, amended by DIN EN 10253-3/Ber1:2013-07 (Corrigendum). A draft revision (prEN / DIN EN 10253-3:2025-02) was prepared in 2025 as a replacement draft.
• Number of pages: Main 2009 edition typically listed ~47–49 pages; Corrigendum (Berichtigung 1:2013-07) is a short correction document (generally 1–2 pages). The 2025 draft shows a substantially expanded document (draft versions listed with differing page counts by publisher).

Scope

Specifies technical delivery requirements for seamless and welded butt‑welding fittings to be welded into piping systems that use austenitic and austenitic‑ferritic (duplex) stainless steels and are supplied without special inspection requirements. Scope covers product designation and classification, ordering information, manufacturing processes, dimensions and tolerances, chemical and mechanical requirements, sample/test procedures, nondestructive and destructive testing, inspection documents, marking, handling and packaging. The corrigendum (Berichtigung 1:2013-07) makes targeted corrections to the German edition.

Key topics and requirements

• Material grades and chemical composition requirements for austenitic and duplex stainless steels.
• Mechanical property requirements (tensile, elongation, where applicable) and acceptance criteria.
• Dimensions, tolerances and geometrical data for elbows, reducers, tees and caps (metric sizes and wall thickness series).
• Requirements for testing: chemical analysis, tensile tests, bend tests, intergranular corrosion tests, NDT (ultrasonic, radiographic) as applicable.
• Sampling frequency, test-piece preparation and rules for test certificates and inspection documentation (including types of certificates available to purchaser).
• Marking, packaging, handling and delivery documentation requirements.
• Options and ordering information to specify additional requirements or deviations from the default delivery conditions.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of stainless steel butt‑welding fittings, piping system designers and engineers, procurement and quality departments, inspection and certification bodies, fabricators and welders in industries such as chemical processing, oil & gas, power generation, shipbuilding, water treatment and food/pharma where corrosion‑resistant stainless steel fittings are specified.

Related standards

EN 10253 series (other parts such as EN 10253‑1, EN 10253‑2, EN 10253‑4) and related product and test standards referenced within (for example tensile and corrosion test standards, NDT standards and material standards for stainless steels). National adoptions (DIN, ÖNORM, NEN, etc.) and later revision drafts (prEN / DIN EN 10253‑3:2025) are also related.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the German adoption (DIN) of EN 10253‑3 (butt‑welding pipe fittings — Part 3: stainless and duplex steels) together with Corrigendum/Berichtigung 1 issued in July 2013 which corrects/clarifies items in the 2009 German edition.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The standard covers technical delivery requirements for seamless and welded butt‑welding fittings made of austenitic and austenitic‑ferritic (duplex) stainless steels that are supplied without special inspection requirements: materials, dimensions, tolerances, mechanical and chemical requirements, sampling and test procedures, NDT and other tests, inspection documents, marking and packaging. The corrigendum addresses specific corrections to the published German text.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers of stainless steel butt‑welding fittings; design and engineering professionals specifying fittings for piping systems; quality and inspection personnel and regulatory/contracting bodies in industries that require corrosion‑resistant piping components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2009 edition with Corrigendum 1 (2013‑07) has been the operative DIN edition. A revision process produced a prEN / draft edition in 2025 (DIN EN 10253‑3:2025‑02 / prEN 10253‑3:2025) intended to replace the 2009 text; users should check the national standards body (DIN) or their standards subscriptions to confirm whether a final 2025 replacement has been formally published and adopted in their country. As of the corrigendum's publication and publicly listed drafts, the 2009 text + Berichtigung 1 remain the formally referenced DIN document until formally superseded.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — EN 10253 is a multi‑part series addressing butt‑welding pipe fittings; Part 3 covers austenitic and duplex stainless steels without specific inspection requirements, while other parts cover different materials, design forms or inspection regimes (see EN 10253‑1/2/4 etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Butt‑welding fittings, stainless steel, duplex, austenitic, EN 10253‑3, DIN, Berichtigung, corrigendum, elbows, reducers, tees, caps, inspection, NDT, test certificate.
