2. Tests and certifications

All tubes are subjected to a non-destructive leak test
and marked accordingly as proof. This marking replaces
a works certificate DIN 50 049-2.2. Test class 1 DIN
17458 Table 7 applies for tubes made of 1.4571 and
1.4541.
3. Recommended bend radius
A bend radius of 3x the external tube diameter is recommended for cold bending of tubes with tube benders or
by hand.
4. Welding suitability and weldability
Tubes of E235 are weldable according to usual techniques. Types made of 1.4571 and 1.4541 (stainless)
are suitable for arc welding. The welding filler should be
selected in accordance with DIN 8556 part 1 taking into
account the type of application and the welding technique.
5. Approximate calculation of the flow resistance
in straight tubelines
The flow resistance and thus the tubeline efficiency is
influenced by the tube inside diameter, the volume flow
(measured or calculated) and the properties of the
medium. Laminar flow should be considered in order to
keep losses in the system down to a minimum. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow, which brings an increase in the flow resistance is generally defined by the
Reynolds number Re 2320. Since the transition cannot
be pinpointed exactly, the transition range can only be
determined by measuring. If, for simplified calculation,
transition at Re 2320 and a technically smooth tube
inner surface are assumed, the limit speeds w crit. and
the laminar to turbulent flow volume flow v crit. when
transition takes place, can be estimated according to
the following formulas:

w crit. =

2.32
di

[m / s]

v crit. = 0.109 d i [l / min]

d i = tube bore in mm
2

= kinematic viscosity in mm / s.

For approximate calculation of the pressure drop in

bar/1 m tube length, the following formulas can be used:
1. Laminar range:
v =

0.32 w
d i2 10 3

6.79 v
d i4 10 3

[bar / 1 m]

2. Turbulent range:
v =

0.281 w 1.75 0.25

d i1.25 10 3
59 v 1.75 0.25
d i4.75 10 3

[bar / 1 m]

w = flow speed in m/s; = kinetic viscosity in mm2/s;

v = volume flow in l/min.; = density of the medium in
kg/m3; d i = pipe internal diameter in mm.
Detailed calculations of the flow resistance require an
exact knowledge of the tubeline system and the operating conditions. Refer to the relevant literature for other
methods of calculations.

Calculation pressure:
Calculation pressures given are according to DIN 2413
part I for static stress
P =

20 K s c
S da

Material-No.: 1.4571/1.4541

For range of application for which a certain safety value

compared to burst pressure is demanded for tubes of
1.4571 grade stainless steel, the measured burst pressures are contained in tube-tables. Burst pressure values for
tubes of 1.4541 grade stainless steel are not available.
Calculation pressures according to DIN 2413 part III for
dynamic stress are not listed, because in DIN 17458
the permanent fatigue stress is not listed. Until standards
will be available for gauge localization of permanent
fatigue strength we recommend for calculations to use
DIN 2413 part III with the following characteristic values:
permanent fatigue strength K=190 N/mm2 for tubes
of 1.4571 and 1.4541; S=1.5; C=0.9.

(bar)

Material characteristic value K=245 N/mm2 (1.4571),

K=235 N/mm2 (1.4541) (1% proof stress)
Safety factor S = 1.5
Factor c for consideration of wall thickness divergence:
0.9

Remarks:
Corrosion: additional allowances are not considered for
the calculation of pressures.
Tubes with a diameter proportion da/di 1.35 are
calculated according to DIN 2413 part III with above
characteristic values.

Permissible temperature range and required pressure

reductions. This is based on calculated pressures at the
elevated temperatures shown, taking into consideration
the recommended reduction in proof stress (DIN 17458).

For tube bends, contrary to straight tubes of the same wall thickness there is a higher stress
at the inside of the bend and a reduction of the fatigue strength, because of the out-of-round of tube.
Details see DIN 2413 section 4.7.
Tube bends material St. 37.4 are zink plated yellow.
