14、publication, AGA Plastic Pipe Manual for Gas Service. Although it is difficult to incorporate in a specification, one of the most important considerations in purchasing quality materials for a polyethylene fuel gas distribution system is the selection of a quality vendor. Such a vendor will have an
15、understanding of the necessary quality control tests and the capabilities to perform them, and will also be able to provide records showing that a quality controI/quaIity assurance program is in effect that utilizes these testing facilities. Using both the appropriate Annex for In-Plant Quality Cont
16、rol of ASTM D2513 and this document as guides the user or purchaser should evaluate an intended supplier through an on-site visit and inspection. Adequate records should be available for the users review to demonstrate that the suppliers production of gas piping products meets the requirements of th
17、e specification. In qualifying a supplier, the user should consider: A. B. C. D. E. A demonstrated commitment to the market as evidenced by facilities investment and products offered; A good reputation for product quality and service based on other user com men ts; Ad eq u a te i n- plan t i ns pect

The ability to
20、 provide sound technical support for its products. 4 The user should ensure that, in addition to clearly defined material purchase specifications, the manufacturer has also established procedures for both qualification testing and acceptance testing of PE pipe, tubing and fittings, and certification
21、 requirements for the materials purchased for use in their systems. The following model specification is furnished to assist the user of polyethylene gas pipe in the procurement of materials meeting the minimum federal standards as well as some additional recommended requirements, such as those cont
22、ained in ASTM D2513. In the event local standards are more stringent, appropriate modifications should be made to this model specification. For liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) applications, a maximum operating pressure of 30 psig (206 kPa) is recommended in NFPA 58 by the members of the National Fire
23、Protection Association. LPG has higher condensation temperature than does natural gas; this maximum pressure is recommended to ensure that plastic pipe is not subjected to excessive exposure to LPG liquids. 5 MODEL SPECIFICATION FOR POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC PIPE, TUBING AND FITTINGS FOR FUEL GAS DISTRIB
24、UTION SYSTEMS 1. General All polyethylene pipe, tubing and fittings furnished under this specification shall conform to all applicable provisions and requirements of the latest revision of the US Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, “Transportation of Na
25、tural or Other Gases by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards, and, by inclusion, all appropriate standards referenced therein. II. Materials Polyethylene compounds utilized in the manufacture of products furnished under this specification shall have a grade of PE24 or PE34, and minimum cell cl
26、assification of PE213363 or PE334464, as defined in ASTM D3350. In conformance with ASTM D2513, they shall have a PPI recommended hydrostatic design basis (HDB) of 1250 psi (PE2406) or 1600 psi (PE3408) at a temperature of 73.4”F (23C). In addition, this HDB shall be substantiated by showing that ex
27、trapolation of the stress regression curve is linear to the 438,000 hour intercept in accordance with ASTM D2837. When any plastic material is used for transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), it must qualify for use through testing with LPG as the test medium, and have a hydrostatic design
28、basis category of at least 1,000-psi (6.9 MPa) at 73.4OF (23OC), as determined by ASTM D2837. Materials that qualify for natural gas service and that carry a recommended HDB at 14OoF in accordance with ASTM D2513 also qualify for LPG service without the need for further testing. Clean rework materia
29、l of the same type and grade, generated from the manufacturers own pipe and fitting production, may be used by the same manufacturer as long as the pipe, tubing or fitting produced meet all the requirements of ASTM D2513. 111. Pipe and Tubing Pipe and Tubing furnished under this specification shall
30、be manufactured using compounds complying with the requirements of Section II, above, and all appropriate requirements of Part 192 of the Minimum Federal Safety Standards. Dimensional characteristics (including outside diameter, wall thickness, toe-in, ovaiity and length) and performance characteris
31、tics (i ncl u d in g c hem ica I resistance, sus ta ned pressu re, elevated tem perat u re service, burst pressure/apparent tensile strength, joining, squeeze-off and outdoor storage stability) shall conform to the requirements of ASTM D2513 including applicable annexes. Pipe and Tubing may be suppl
32、ied in either coils or straight lengths. IV. Fittings Polyethylene fittings furnished under this specification shall be manufactured using compounds complying with the requirements of Section II, above and all appropriate requirements of Part 192 of the Minimum Federal Safety Standards. Socket type
33、fittings shall comply with ASTM D2683. Butt fusion fittings shall comply with ASTM D3261. Electrofusion fittings shall comply with ASTM F1055. Plastic mechanical fittings shall comply with ASTM FI 924. Mechanical fittings produced from metallic or materials other than plastics listed in Section II s
34、hall be approved only after submission of appropriate test data and service histories indicating their acceptability for the intended service. In addition, all mechanical fittings shall be categorized for pullout resistance as stated in ASTM D2513 and identified as to the appropriate category. Plast
35、ic valves shall meet the requirements of ANSI Standard B16.40. In all cases, the specifications and requirements for the fittings supplied shall comply with the appropriate sections of Part 192 of the Minimum Federal Safety Standards or NFPA 58 LP Gas Code. V. Marking Pipe and tubing shall be marked
36、 in accordance with ASTM D2513. Marking shall be legible and shall remain legible under normal handling and installation practices. Indent marking may be utilized provided (1) the marking does not reduce the wall thickness to less than the minimum value for the pipe or tubing, (2) it has been demons
37、trated that these marks have no effect on the long term strength of the pipe or tubing and (3) the marking will not provide leakage channels when approved elastomeric gasket compression fittings are used to make joints. Fusion fittings shall be marked on the body or hub. Marking shall be in accordan
38、ce with ASTM D2513 or the standard to which the fitting is manufactured. Mechanical fittings shall be marked in accordance with the fitting standard to which it is manufactured or Part 192 of the Minimum Federal Safety Standard Section 192.63. VI. Workmanship Pipe, tubing and fittings shall be homog
39、eneous throughout and free of visible cracks, holes, foreign inclusions, blisters, dents, or other injurious 7 defects. The pipe, tubing, and fittings shall be as uniform as commercially practicable in color, opacity, density, and other physical properties. VII. Quality Control Quality Control shall
40、 be in accordance with the requirements given in ASTM D2513 including applicable annexes. VI I I. Fus i on Qu a I if ica t i o n The manufacturer of pipe, tubing a& or fittings supplied under this specification shall establish and certify heat fusion procedures for the joining of the materials suppl
41、ied in accordance with the applicable section of (CFR) Title 49, Part 192 “Transportation of Natural and or Other Gases by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards” paragraph 192.283. Qualified fusion procedures, with appropriate supporting data, shall be furnished to the purchaser upon request. S
42、uitable generic fusion procedures are included in PPI TR-33, Generic Butt Fusion Joining Procedure for Polyethylene (PE) Gas Pipe. IX. Resolution of Conflicts The use of ASTM standard specification references without a year designation implies the most current applicable specification. In the event this specification conflicts with the specification referenced in (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, the requirements of (CSR) Title 49, Part 192 shall prevail. 8
