2、TANDARDNational forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 12732:2013. Itsupersedes BS EN 12732:2000 which is withdrawn.The UK committee voted against this standard for several reasons,particularly because of technical differences with a long establishedUK gas industry standard for

3、 welding procedures, BS 4515, and onthe requirements for the qualification of welding personnel. Alsoseveral improvements requested by the UK gas industry stakeholdersto the draft EN 12732 were not accepted. A full set of UK commentsmay be obtained from BSI Committee Service Centre. The UK willattem

4、pt again to have improvements made when this standard is revised. The UK committee also acknowledges that despite voting against this standard, it can still be used by other UK industries.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to TechnicalCommittee GSE/33, Gas supply.A list of organiz

35、which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2013. Attention is drawn to the

36、 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12732:2000. This European Standard has been prepared under mandate M/017 given to C

37、EN by the Commission of the European Communities and the European Free Trade Association. Annex I provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition. There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 ”Gas infrastructure“ t

38、o cover all parts from the input of gas to the transmission system up to the inlet connection of the gas appliances, whether for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes. In preparing this standard a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed. Gas infrastructure is com

39、plex and the importance on safety of its construction and use has led to the development of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These detailed statements embrace recognised standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed by the legal stru

40、ctures of the member countries. CEN/TC 234 will continue its work updating this standard to the latest developments at regular intervals. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard:

41、Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, S

43、uirements for the production and testing of weld joints for the installation and modification of onshore steel pipelines and pipework used in gas infrastructure, including in-service pipelines, for all pressure ranges for the carriage of processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according t

44、o EN ISO 13686 and for the carriage of non-conventional gases such as injected biomethane, 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

45、except for any pipelines and facilities delivering gas to such premises; the pipework is not located within household installations according to EN 1775; the design temperature of the system is between -40 C up to and including 120 C. The onshore steel pipelines and pipework used in gas infrastructu

46、re include in-service pipelines, for all pressure ranges for the carriage of processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according to EN ISO 13686 and for the carriage of non-conventional gases complying with EN ISO 13686, and for which a detailed technical evaluation of the functional requir

47、ements (such as injected biomethane) is performed ensuring there are no other constituents or properties of the gases that can affect the integrity of the pipeline. This standard is not applicable to welds produced prior to the publication of this European Standard. Table 1 assigns the application a

48、reas to quality requirement categories as a function of the working pressure and pipe materials used.
