16、lasticized polyamide (PA-U) pipes and solvent cement joints are used typically for low pressures, while thicker wall thickness pipes and butt fusion, electrofusion or mechanical joints are typically used for high pressures.For technical and safety reasons, it is not possible to mix the components of
17、 the two types of piping system (thin wall thickness pipes cannot be jointed by butt fusion or mechanical joints and vice versa). In particular, solvent cement joints must not be used for jointing for high pressure piping systems.So for the time being, the standardization programme dealing with unpl
18、asticized polyamide (PA-U) piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels is split into two series of International Standards, with one series (ISO 17467) covering piping systems the components of which are connected by solvent cement jointing and the other (ISO 16486) the components of which are co
19、nnected by fusion jointing and/or mechanical jointing. When more experience will be gained from the field, it might be reasonable to merge the ISO 17467 series and the ISO 16486 series in one single series applicable to PA-U piping systems.A similar series (ISO 17135) for fusion and mechanically joi
20、nted plasticized polyamide (PA-P) piping systems is in preparation.5Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels Unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) piping systems with fusion jointing and mechanical jointing Part 6: Code of practice for design, handling and installationIDIN ISO 16486-6:2015-0
21、71 ScopeThis part of ISO 16486 specifies a code of practice dealing with unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) piping systems, intended to be buried outside buildings and used for the supply of gaseous fuels. It addresses the common basic principles for gas supply systems.More detailed national standards o
22、r codes of practice might exist in the ISO member countries. This part of ISO 16486 is intended to be applied in association with those national standards or codes of practice related to the above-mentioned basic principles.It is applicable to mains and service lines, the components of which are pre
23、pared for jointing by scraping and/or machining, and gives instructions for the design, storage, handling, transportation, laying conditions and fusion quality control of PA-U pipes and fittings up to and including 250 mm outside diameter, as well as subsequent joint testing, backfilling, pipe syste
24、m testing, commissioning and decommissioning.The jointing methods covered by this part of ISO 16486 are butt fusion jointing and electrofusion jointing.No special precautions are necessary for areas exposed to the influence of mining and earthquakes other than those precautions mentioned in this par
25、t of ISO 16486.It is the responsibility of users of this part of ISO 16486 to take existing and new national regulations into account.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

37、5 Design5.1 GeneralA written laying procedure, authorized by the pipeline operator, shall be made available prior to the construction of a pipeline. The laying procedure shall include specification of the jointing procedure, the pipe and fitting materials to be used, the trenching and backfilling re
38、quirements, the pressure testing and commissioning requirements, and the data to be collected for the traceability system.The selection of materials, SDR series, dimensions and assembling techniques shall be the responsibility of the pipeline operator.There are two SDR series in common use for gas s
39、upply systems: SDR 17 and SDR 11. Other SDR series can also be used, such as SDR 26 for renovation.The training and the level of skill of the operator shall be in accordance with the requirements of the jointing procedures.General guidelines for supervision and quality control are given in Clause 8.
40、5.2 Materials, components and jointing equipmentThe PA-U materials and components used shall conform to ISO 16486-1, ISO 16486-2 and ISO 16486-3, as relevant.Other components not covered by the above-mentioned parts of ISO 16486 shall conform to the relevant national standards.If pipes and fittings
41、are to be stored outside, requirements on maximum storage time shall be given in the laying procedure. PA-U materials shall be stabilized to give protection against a UV radiation level of 3,5 GJ/m2. It is desirable that national bodies give recommendations for allowed storage times in their countri
42、es.The fusion equipment used for the construction of the pipeline shall comply with the requirements of ISO 12176-1 or ISO 12176-2. If the operation of the fusion equipment requires an operators badge, the badge shall conform to ISO 12176-3.5.3 Maximum operating pressureThe maximum operating pressur
43、e (MOP) of the system shall be selected by the pipeline operator on the basis of the gas supply system operating requirements and the materials used. The MOP of a PA-U system depends upon the type of resin used (the MRS), the pipe SDR series and the service conditions, and is limited by the design c
44、oefficient, C, and the RCP criteria.For greater flexibility in the use of the MRS, the CRS,tis introduced, where the temperature and the lifetime t may differentiate from the usual values of 20 C and 50 years. The policy retains the well-established MRS basis for the classification of polyamide mate
45、rials in accordance with ISO 12162. The categorized required strength, CRS,t, is defined in ISO 12162.8IDIN ISO 16486-6:2015-07The design coefficient, C, for thermoplastics materials is specified in ISO 12162. This coefficient is used to calculate the MOP of the pipeline. C shall be greater than or
46、equal to 2 for PA-U pipeline systems for natural gas.MOPMRSSDR=()201CDF(1)orMOPCRSSDR=()201,tC(2)The derating coefficient, DF, is a coefficient used in the calculation of the MOP which takes into account the influence of the operating temperature. Derating coefficients for various operating temperat
47、ures are given in Annex A.The ratio of the critical RCP pressure to the MOP shall be 1,5 at the minimum operating temperature. The critical RCP pressure is dependent on temperature, pipe size and type of PA-U material used. It is defined in this subclause in accordance with ISO 16486-1, Table 1, bas
48、ed on the full-scale test method in accordance with ISO 13478 (see Table footnote e).Where the pipe temperature decreases below 0 C, the pc/MOP ratio shall be recalculated using a pc(critical pressure) value determined from the minimum expected operating temperature of the pipe. If necessary, the va
49、lue of the MOP shall be reduced so as to maintain the pc/MOP ratio at a value 1,5.5.4 Assembly techniquesJointing procedures may vary depending upon the pipe size used.Fusion is the preferred jointing method. Preference shall be given to butt fusion and electrofusion.Components made from PA-U 11 shall be heat fusion jointed only to components made from PA-U 11.Components made from PA-U 12 shall be heat fusion jointed only to components made from PA-U 12.Components made from PA-U are n
