dont use ad 2000, it has temperature limits..

[tturit]

the main different? AD2000 is more economical (lower wall thicknes), and more sophisticated (exceptions is exist)

[BornToSin]

yes, but it covers and worths only for atmosphere temperatures between -5 and 40 °C...what if you build something according to ad 2000 somewhere where the temperature is below or above limits of ad 2000? I know, it's funny, but trust me, welding inspectors sometimes can be very very nasty because of that...

[tturit]

Your welding inspector coming from the moon ?
Desing Temperature above 40 Cdegree is not problem...read carefully the AD2000Merkblatt-B0-5 Design Temperature ...
AD2000Merkblatt-B0-5.2.

"If the highest expected wall temperature during service is below +20Cdegree, the design temperature is +20Cdegre. For working temperature below -10Cdegree, see also AD2000Merkbaltt W10..."
Read carefully:
AD2000Merkblatt-W10 Materials for Iow temperatures; Ferrous materials

to be honest with you..I never did anything using AD 2000..we have a lot of different welding inspectors coming to checking/inspecting projects, and one of them said that for ad 2000 and also said that are people who are using ad 2000 stupid because of temperature limits ..but, you now gave me good guideline to "discust" with him when I see him next time :-D
but maybe he's right, I don't know...we'll see lol

We used to use ASME code because of its higher factor of safety. And all components designed by German AD characterized by its lower thickness when compared with the same components designed by ASME, because AD uses a lower factor of safety, and we - as a designers - don't prefer using a lower factor of safety.

we alsn use asme codes sometimes, depends on project...but mostly it's EN standards (12952, 13480 and 13445)...and off course standard standars; for pqrs (15616), welders certification (en 287) etc...
