The Standard

Strength calculation for industrial piping

EN 13480 is the harmonised European standard for metallic industrial piping. Part 3 (EN 13480-3) sets out the design and calculation rules for the pressure-bearing piping components — straight pipe, bends, tees and branches, reducers, flanges and closures — that must be verified for a piping system to be approved under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).

sPEeD-Analyze implements EN 13480 directly: every result references the exact formula and clause in the standard, using the standard’s own nomenclature, so your calculation is unambiguous and fast for a notified body to review.
