High Pressure Gas Steel Pipelines for a Design Pressure of More Than 16 bar; Design and Construction

Title (German)

Gashochdruckleitungen aus Stahlrohren für einen Auslegungsdruck von mehr als 16 bar; Planung und Errichtung

Brief description

This Code of Practice was drawn up by the project group "Revision of G 463" in the Technical Committee "Gas Transmission Pipelines". This DVGW Code of Practice is to be used in conjunction with DIN EN 1594 "Gas infrastructure - Pipelines for a maximum allowable working pressure above 16 bar - Functional requirements". DIN EN 1594 describes the general principles for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of high-pressure gas pipelines. These general principles represent the minimum requirements on which the European experts involved in standardization have agreed, and these minimum requirements are to be filled in and implemented by detailed technical rules and/or national standards. In this DVGW Code of Practice G 463, the content and implementation for planning and installation is based on the proven safety philosophy of the German gas industry, which is based on many years of experience. DVGW Code of Practice G 466-1 applies to operation and maintenance. The requirements listed in this DVGW Code of Practice are binding and supplement or specify the functional requirements of DIN EN 1594.
