for industrial piping either totally buried or partly buried and partly run in sleeves or similar protection It is used in conjunction with the other six parts of EN 3480 Where buried piping subject to this standard connects to piping installed under other jurisdiction such as pipelines, the transition should be made at a closing element e.g an isolating or regulating valve separating the two sections This should be close to the boundary of the industrial site, but may be inside or outside the boundary Operating temperature up to 75 °C NOTE For higher temperatures reference should be made to EN 3941 +A1 :201 0, but it should be kept in mind, that CEN/TC 07 only deals with pre-insulated piping with temperatures up to 40 °C and diameters up to 800 mm, which is state of the art for these products Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application For dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies EN 3480-1 :201 2, Metallic industrial piping — Part 1: General EN 3480-2:201 2, Metallic industrial piping — Part 2: Materials EN 3480-3:201 2, Metallic industrial piping — Part 3: Design and calculation EN 3480-5:201 2, Metallic industrial piping — Part 5: Inspection and testing General 3.1 Safety a) Buried piping within an industrial site presents a potential hazard to site personal, equipment and environment The sections set out in this document provide guidance as to how the hazard presented by the piping may be assessed, and the integrity of the piping system maintained NOTE b) Attention is drawn to appropriate National or Local regulations The main factors to be considered are: Design including Routing, Layout, Interaction with connecting systems; Materials and Construction Specification and Quality Control; Operating Procedures and Control; Corrosion protection; External Impact Protection and Mitigation BS EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 :201 EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 (E) :201 EN 3480-6:201 (E) (E) Issue (201 4-08) All of these factors interact NOTE It is recommended that all buried piping be subjected to a formal hazard analysis procedure NOTE Attention is drawn to appropriate National or Local regulations c) Additional safety requirements may be specified for group fluids according to EN 3480-1 :201 2, including automated means of isolating buried sections of piping 3.2 Routes All routes for buried piping shall be agreed with the owner and operator of the site The site owner shall be required to furnish details of all other actual or planned buried services (including cables) and all roadways or other surface loads within the construction working width or zone of the proposed pipe Piping in category III according to EN 3480-1 :201 shall be separated from any other pipe or service by a minimum distance of 0,25 m unless it can be demonstrated that a smaller distance is acceptable 3.3 Depth of installation In the absence of special protection (e.g concrete slabs) buried piping shall be provided with a minimum cover of 0,8 m The designer shall consider increasing the extent of cover above the minimum where penetrating cold or frost heave of the ground is likely, or where damage from excavation activities is a possibility 3.4 Pipes marking and recording Buried pipes shall be marked by a continuous tape or other agreed means placed directly above the pipe and no closer than 0,3 m All buried pipes shall be identified on as-installed drawings which accurately locate the route relative to structures or other permanent features The site owner may require the route to be physically marked by the use of identification posts or cover slabs at appropriate intervals 3.5 Internal inspection provisions Where periodic internal inspection of buried piping is anticipated, and the specification identifies the method proposed, the designer shall incorporate appropriate means of introducing and removing the inspection devices Such closures, and openings for inspection shall be designed in accordance with EN 3480-3:201 3.6 Contents removal The design of the piping system shall make allowance for the safe filling and removal of the contents This shall include vent and drain points or falls as required, and the selection of appropriate bends and fittings BS EN 3480-6:201 BS EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 :201 26 EN 3480-6:201 EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 :201262 (E) (E) EN 3480-6:201 Issue (201 4-08) 3.7 Trench drainage The designer shall recognize that pipe trenches for buried piping can act as channels for ground water Appropriate means shall be employed to ensure that the bottom of the trench has sufficient slope to soakaways or sumps to prevent accumulation of water around the piping Where such measures are not possible, the designer shall include the possibility of flotation in the design calculations In addition, the drainage arrangements shall dispose of the hydrostatic test water Care shall be exercised during this operation to ensure that washout of bedding material does not occur Materials Materials shall conform to the requirements of EN 3480-2:201 except that the value for the specified minimum elongation after fracture for the longitudinal direction (see EN 3480-2:201 2, 4.1 4.) shall be 20 % Materials with elongation values less than 20 % shall be avoided, and shall only be used subject to agreement between the purchaser and the designer Design and calculation 5.1 Minimum wall thickness for buried piping Unless the pressure design calculations lead to a greater thickness, the wall thickness of the pipe shall not be lower than the value given in Table Table — Minimum wall thickness for buried piping Nominal size (DN) Minimum thickness mm DN 80 3,2 80 < DN 50 4,7 50 < DN 450 6,35 450 < DN 600 7,9 600 < DN 950 9,5 950 < DN % DN 5.2 Design 5.2.1 A simple single dimensional model linking buried pipes and the surrounding ground may be sufficient for piping designed in accordance with EN 3480-3:201 More complex analysis of pipe to soil interaction may be used where sufficient accurate geo-mechanical data is available, or where the conditions of this annex cannot be met NOTE It is assumed that the loads imposed by the piping on the soil not exceed its load bearing capacity BS EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 :201 EN 3480-6:201 2+A1 (E) :201 EN 3480-6:201 (E) (E) Issue (201 4-08) 5.2.2 The designer shall include in the calculations the weight of soil or backfill above the pipe and the maximum predicted value of traffic or other static and dynamic loads imposed on the ground above the pipe With a minimum immediate (first) cover to the pipe of 50 mm of sand, or similar free-flowing material, the forces may be considered as acting over the entire 80° of the upper pipe surface 5.2.3 In addition to calculations at the design pressure, the loadings on the unpressurized system shall be calculated 5.2.4 Pipe movement will be significantly restrained by the frictional force at the interface with the surrounding soil, and may be effectively prevented at buried bends and large branches Unless specific measures are incorporated to permit relative movement, buried pipes shall be considered as fully restrained axially for calculation purposes The axial stress due to combined pressure and temperature change effects shall be calculated as follows: S L S p E ( T ) (1 ) where SL is the longitudinal stress 0,90 x yield strength at design temperature; Sp is the circumferential stress due to pressure alone; T is the maximum temperature range; is Poisson’s ratio 5.2.5 Where no detailed analysis is undertaken, the maximum temperature range (including the installation temperature) shall not exceed 35 °C, and restraining features such as buried bends and tees shall have a separation of not less than DN Where detailed analysis is undertaken, it shall be in accordance with EN 3480-3:201 supplemented by Annex A (normative) 5.2.6 Where seismic events are to be considered, the pipe shall be treated as if rigidly connected to the ground and following the imposed displacements Dynamic amplification may be ignored NOTE The surrounding soil can be considered to effectively dampen all harmonic excitations of the pipe 5.2.7 The designer shall consider the interface between buried and above ground sections of the piping for all design conditions For the static analysis, the buried part shall be considered as clamped for thermal expansion, and it shall be ensured that the flexibility of the above ground part is sufficient in order to limit the loads at the connection of the two parts to acceptable values The designer shall analyse the effects of any anticipated settlement of the buried piping relative to the connected piping overground or in ducts, and shall ensure compliance with the requirements of this document NOTE When gaseous fluids are carried by the piping, the designer should note the likely rise in temperature in the discharge lines of a compressor and corresponding reduction at the outflow from pressure reducing equipment BS EN
