Specifies materials, design, construction, installation, testing and maintenance requirements for steel piping systems covered by AS 4645, for the distribution of fuel gas suitable for domestic, commercial or industrial uses, where the pressure of the gas is not greater than 1050 kPa and the operating temperature range of the materials is from (30°C to 120°C; or where the hoop stress level is not greater than 20 % of the specified minimum yield stress of the pipe used in that system.
Scope
This Standard specifies materials, design, construction, installation, testing and maintenance requirements for steel piping systems covered by AS 4645, for the distribution of fuel gas suitable for domestic, commercial or industrial uses, where—
the pressure of the gas is not greater than 1050 kPa and the operating temperature range of the materials is from (30°C to 120°C; or
where the hoop stress level is not greater than 20 % of the Specified Minimum Yield Stress (SMYS) of the pipe used in that system.
The Standard does not extend to the exclusions listed in Clause 1.2.
Some requirements of this Standard are suitable for consumer piping operating at >200 kPa, being not otherwise provided in AS 5601. The operator of such piping should decide which requirements are appropriate, and should obtain any necessary agreement from the regulator having jurisdiction over the operation of that piping.
The relevant technical regulator may regard this standard as appropriate for other than fuel gas.
