SECTION 4 GAS PIPING SYSTEM DESIGN, MATERIAL AND COMPONENTS

Piping Plan Sebelum memulakan perpasangan sistem perpaipan gas,kita harus menyediakan lakaran perpaipan atau plan perpaipan yang menunjukan cadangan lokasi perpaipan, saiz bagi cabang yang berbeza, jumlah gas yang perlu dihantar kesetiap peralatan dan lokasi pusat penghantaran. Sekiranya membuat penyambungan pada sistem perpaipan yang sedia ada, kita perlu memastikan sistem perpaipan sedia ada mampu menampung kapasiti kepada penyambungan yang dibuat.Sekiranya tidak mampu kita perlu membesarkan sistem perpaipan yang sedia ada atau membuat pepasangan baru yang lain. Provision for location of point of delivery Lokasi pusat penghantaran haruslah boleh diterima oleh pihak pembekal gas.

Interconnection between gas piping system Apabila 2 atau lebih meter ATAU apabila 2 atau lebih pengatur tekanan servis ditempatkan pada premis yang sama DAN menghantar gas kepada pengguna yang berlainan, maka penyambungan tidak boleh dibuat pada sebelah hilir keluaran meter atau pengatur tekanan servis.

SECTION 7 INSPECTION, TESTING AND PURGING

A piping system may be tested as a complete unit or in sections as the construction progresses. Under no circumstances shall a valve in a line be used as a bulkhead between gas in one section of the piping system and test medium in an adjacent section, unless two valves are installed in series with a valve tell-tale located between these valves. A valve shall not be subjected to the test pressure unless it can be determined that the valve, including the valve closing mechanism, is design to withstand the test pressure.

SECTION 7 INSPECTION, TESTING AND PURGING Test Medium The test medium shall be air or inert das (e.g nitrogen, carbon dioxide). OXYGEN SHALL NEVER BE USED. Fuel gas may be used in piping systems, operating at pressure of 3.5 kPa gauge (0.5 psig) or less. Test pressure Pressure shall be measured with pressure measuring device and calibrated as to read,record and indicated pressure loss due to leakage during the pressure test period.The source of pressure shall be isolated before the pressure tests are made.
