Gas infrastructure - Welding steel pipework - Functional requirements

This document contains requirements for the production and testing of weld joints for the installation and modification, including in-service welding, of onshore steel pipelines and pipework used in gas infrastructure. This includes all pressure ranges and processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according to EN ISO 13686 and non-conventional gases such as (injected) biomethane and hydrogen, where: - the pipeline elements are made of unalloyed or low-alloyed carbon steel; - the pipeline is not located within commercial or industrial premises as integral part of the industrial process on those premises except for any pipelines and facilities delivering gas to such premises; - the pipework is not located within households or industrial installations according to EN 1775 or EN 15001; - the design temperature of the system is between -40 °C up to and including 120 °C. For injected biomethane or hydrogen a detailed technical evaluation of the functional requirements is required, ensuring there are no other constituents or properties of the gases that can affect the integr
