What is BS EN 13941‑1 - District heating pipes about?
BS EN 13941 is a series of European standard on district heating pipes that deals with the various parameters involved. BS EN 13941‑1 is the first part of the series on design.
BS EN 13941‑1 specifies requirements for design, calculation, and installation of factory-made thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for buried hot water networks.
Who is BS EN 13941‑1 - District heating pipes for?
BS EN 13941‑1 on district heating is beneficial for:
- Manufacturer of district heating pipes
- Heating Engineer
- Plumber
- Energy Engineering
Why should you use BS EN 13941‑1 - District heating pipes?
Thermally insulating bonding and coating compounds help in lowering heat transfer and improving product reliability in many applications ranging from electronics devices to ovens to processing equipment to pipes to appliances.
BS EN 13941‑1 navigates you through the design documentation, pipe system, route selection, and positioning of the pipes.
BS EN 13941‑1 exemplifies the required components and materials that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
BS EN 13941‑1 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process from designing to installation of the pipe system. Manufacturing of pipeline, quality control, requirements for components and materials are mentioned in BS EN 13941‑1 which assist you to manufacture high-quality products according to the requirements.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 13941‑1:2019+A1:2021 supersedes BS EN 13941‑1:2019, which is withdrawn.
In comparison to EN 13941:2009+A1:2010, the following changes have been made
- The document structure is improved, giving a better balance between standard text and annexes
- Twin pipes are included
- Requirements for horizontal and vertical stability and parallel excavations are made more explicit
- Requirements for horizontal directional drillings, properties, and testing methods for expansion cushions are included
- Design fatigue curve for fillet welds (e. G. In single-use compensators) is included
