Natural Gas Systems Source: /index_files/gas1.htm Natural gas comes from the North Sea and continental pipelines via an underground pipe network to urban areas in these islands. Notes from Domestic Natural Gas Safety – CITB 1999. An emergency control valve should always be fitted: to the inlet of the meter; or to the installation pipe where it enters the building where the meter is sited 6m or further away from the building. inside individual flats. A test point should be located downstream of an emergency control valve. Meters may be located: in a purpose-made meter box or compound outside the building. in a garage or outbuilding at a boundary of the property, in a suitable enclosure. inside the building on low pressure installations (not more than 75mbar inlet pressure) Meters should not be installed near escape routes or under the stairs. BS 6891:1998 specifies the design, materials and methods of installing gas pipework in sizes not exceeding 28mm for domestic and low pressure installations up to 21mbar. Medium or heavy grade steel (galvanised if exposed), stainless steel and copper pipes can be used. Polyethylene pipe is only used for underground situations. Pipes laid in concrete floors must be protected against movement of the floor and corrosion. Pipes passing through walls should be sleeved and pipes passing from one floor to another should be fire stopped. An appropriate flue system is necessary for gas boilers and fires. Ventilation openings are required in rooms where gas is used in boilers and fires. Openings in habitable rooms should be minimum 35 cm2 up to 7 kW input. For larger boilers the following formula is used: Vent size free area (cm2) = (maximum net input in kW - 7 ) x 5 The diagram below shows part of a gas installation. Gas Pressures Natural gas originates in the north sea at a well head pressure of 100 bar. After pressure reduction at pumping rigs this is reduced to 70 bar at shore terminals. The m
