DIN / EN Flanged Ball Valve: PN16–PN100

Vannes DIN / EN

DIN / EN ball valves have PN-rated EN 1092-1 flanges and EN 558 face-to-face dimensions for plants engineered to European standards. Because EN/DIN-based plant design is common across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, they are the practical choice for one-for-one replacement of existing valves in those plants.

DIN / EN flanged ball valve with gear operator

Overview

PN-rated flanges are not compatible with ASME Class flanges, so an ASME valve cannot be installed in an existing DIN line. Ball valves with EN 1092-1 flanges are supplied in PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64 and PN100, with a floating design in small and mid sizes and a trunnion mounted design in large sizes. When comparing Class and PN ratings, compare the allowable pressure at the operating temperature rather than the nominal designation. Pressure tests follow EN 12266-1.

Standards and test pressures

  • Design: EN 1983 (steel ball valves), DIN / EN flange dimensions
  • Flanges: EN 1092-1 (DIN 2543–2547) PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64 and PN100
  • Size range: DN50–DN1000 in trunnion design

Under EN 12266-1, the hydrostatic shell test is carried out at 1.5 times the valve’s allowable pressure (PS) at 20 °C and the seat test at 1.1 times PS. The values below apply to material groups in which PS equals PN:

Nominal pressureTest de coquilleSeat test
PN 162.4 MPa (24 bar)1.76 MPa (17.6 bar)
PN 253.75 MPa (37.5 bar)2.75 MPa (27.5 bar)
PN 406.0 MPa (60 bar)4.4 MPa (44 bar)
PN 649.6 MPa (96 bar)7.04 MPa (70.4 bar)

Documentation and testing

On industrial projects the documentation package matters as much as the valve. We confirm the certificate and test scope for every line item at quotation stage:

  • EN 10204 3.1 material certificates for pressure-retaining and wetted parts, traceable by heat number
  • EN 10204 3.2 with third-party inspection, on request
  • Pressure test reports to API 598 or EN 12266-1: shell, seat and, where specified, gas tests
  • Fire-test certificates (API 607 / ISO 10497) for fire-safe type-tested designs
  • PMI reports for alloy and stainless materials
  • Dimensional, visual and coating inspection records
  • PED 2014/68/EU CE declaration for equipment within its scope
  • NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliance statement for sour (H₂S) service

Foire aux questions

What is the difference between a DIN ball valve and an ASME ball valve?

The main difference is flange and face-to-face dimensions: DIN/EN valves have PN-rated EN 1092-1 flanges and EN 558 lengths, while ASME valves have Class-rated ASME B16.5 flanges and ASME B16.10 lengths. They cannot be directly interchanged.

What pressure is a PN40 ball valve rated for?

PN40 means an allowable pressure of 40 bar at about 20 °C (68 °F) for the reference material. The allowable pressure falls as temperature rises and depends on the material, so selection should be based on the value at the operating temperature.
