Although it is difficult to incorporate in a specification, one of the most important

14、 considerations in purchasing quality materials for a PA-11 fuel gas distribution system is the selection of a quality vendor. Such a vendor will have an understanding of the necessary quality control tests and the capabilities to perform them, and will also be able to provide records showing that a

15、 quality control/quality assurance program is in effect that utilize these testing facilities. Using both the appropriate Annex for In-Plant Quality Control of ASTM D 2513 and this document as guides the user or purchaser should evaluate an intended supplier through an on-site visit and inspection.

16、Adequate records should be available for the users review to demonstrate that the suppliers production of gas piping products meets the requirements of the specification. In qualifying a supplier, the user should consider: A. A demonstrated commitment to the market as evidenced by facilities investm

17、ent and products offered; A. A good reputation for product quality and service based on other user comments; B. Adequate in-plant inspection and quality control/quality assurance testing, either in the suppliers own facilities or in a qualified independent laboratory. Registration under a recognized

18、 quality assurance program such as ISO 9000 is a means to ensure proper /quality control/quality assurance procedures are in place. C. Evidence that the supplier has a qualified joining procedure in accordance with the requirements of the US Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Regulations (

19、CFR) Title 49, Part 192, “Transportation of Natural or Other Gases by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards”. D. The ability to provide sound technical support for its products. The user should ensure that, in addition to clearly defined material purchase specifications; the manufacturer has al

20、so established procedures for qualification testing and acceptance testing of PA-11 pipe, tubing and fittings, and certification requirements for the materials purchased for use in their systems. The following model specification is furnished to assist the user of PA-11 gas pipe in the procurement o

21、f materials meeting the minimum federal standards as well as some additional recommended requirements, such as those contained in ASTM D 2513. In the event local standards are more stringent, appropriate modifications should be made to this model specification. 5 MODEL SPECIFICATION FOR PA-11 PLASTI

22、C PIPE, TUBING AND FITTINGS FOR FUEL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS DISCUSSION I. General All PA-11 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 Regulat

23、ions (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, “Transportation of Natural or Other Gases by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards, and, by inclusion, all appropriate standards referenced therein. II. Materials PA-11 compounds utilized in the manufacture of products furnished under this specification shall have

24、 a grade of PA32312, as defined in ASTM D 4066. In conformance with ASTM D 2513, they shall have a PPI recommended hydrostatic design basis (HDB) as shown in the below table for the indicated temperatures: PPI TR4 HDB Values for PA-11 Temperature HDB 73F (23C) 2500 psi 140F (60C) 1600 psi 180F (82C)

Plastic valves shall meet the requirements of ANSI Standard B16.40. In

31、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 in accordance with ASTM D 2513. Marking shall be legible and shal

32、l 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 demonstrated that these marks have no effect on the long term strength

33、 of the pipe or tubing and (3) (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 accordance with ASTM D 2513 or the standard to which the fitting is

34、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 homogeneous throughout and free of visible cracks, holes, foreig

35、n inclusions, blisters, dents, or other injurious defects.

36、3 including applicable annexes. VIII. Fusion Qualification The manufacturer of pipe, tubing and or fittings supplied under this specification shall establish and certify heat fusion procedures for the joining of the materials supplied in accordance with the applicable section of (CFR) Title 49, Part

37、 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. 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.
