Standard Specification for Field-assembled Anodeless Riser Kits for Use on Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethylene and Polyamide-11 (PA11) Gas Distribution Pipe and Tubing
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the qualification requirements and test methods for field-assembled anodeless riser kits for use with outside diameter controlled polyethylene gas distribution pipes and tubing in sizes of up to 2 IPS. The anodeless riser kits shall be manufactured in accordance with the specified materials, physical properties, and design, which include the riser casings, moisture seals, threads, bend radius, coatings, welding procedures, and riser adapter to riser casing connections. The riser adapter to riser casing connections shall tested by tensile pull testing.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for field-assembled anodeless riser kits for use with outside diameter controlled polyethylene and PA11 gas distribution pipe and tubing in sizes through 2 IPS as specified in Specification D2513 polyethylene and Specification F2945 for PA11.
1.2 The test methods described are not intended to be routine quality control tests.
1.3 This specification covers the types of field-assembled anodeless riser kits described in 3.3.2.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and not considered standard.
1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures), shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology
3.1 The gas industry terminology used in this specification is in accordance with ASME B31.8 or the United States CFR, Title
49, Part 192, unless otherwise indicated.
3.1.1 pipe—used herein refers to both “pipe” and “tubing” unless specifically stated otherwise.
3.1.2 gas—used herein refers to any fuel gas unless specifically stated otherwise.
3.2 Definitions—Definitions are in accordance with Terminology F412 unless otherwise specified. Abbreviations are in
accordance with Terminology D1600 unless otherwise specified.
3.3 Definitions:
3.3.1 anodeless riser, n—a type of mechanical fitting which is designed to transport gas from underground polyethylene or PA11
piping to above-ground metallic piping. When properly installed, the polyethylene or PA11 piping is the gas carrier in the below
ground portion of an anodeless riser and is protected by a metallic riser casing when it extends above ground level.
3.3.2 field-assembled anodeless riser kit, n—Aa kit containing all of the elements required to assemble an anodeless riser at the
point of installation with the exception of the gas-carrying polyethylene or PA11 piping. It consists of, at a minimum, a riser casing
and a riser adapter. These components may be either integrally combined or include provisions for attachment to one another at
the point of installation.
3.3.3 mechanical fitting, n—a device for making a connection between piping components that employs physical force to
develop a leak-tight seal, produce alignment, and provide resistance to pullout caused by axial loads.
3.3.4 riser adapter, n—a type of mechanical fitting used to join polyethylene and PA11 pipe to a metallic piping connection
(typically a pipe thread). Riser adapters are sometimes referred to as service head adapters.
3.3.5 riser casing, n—the metallic, non-gas carrying portion of an anodeless riser that serves as a protective conduit for the
polyethylene or PA11 piping. It may be either rigid, flexible, or a combination of both.
3.3.6 qualified installation instructions, n—a written procedure for making a plastic mechanical joint that has been demonstrated
will meet the requirements set forth in the United States CFR, Title 49, Part 192.283(b), and this standard.
4. Materials and Manufacture
4.1 General:
4.1.1 All materials of the riser kit shall meet the performance requirements of this specification and applicable referenced
specifications. Specific materials referenced in this section are common materials used in these types of products. Alternate
materials proven to provide equal or better performance shall be acceptable.
4.1.2 All burrs on metal components which could damage the polyethylene or PA11 piping during assembly shall either be
removed or suitably covered with a protective device such as an ID plastic sleeve, to preclude any damage to the polyethylene or
PA11 gas piping.
4.2 Riser Casings:
4.2.1 Rigid riser casings shall be constructed of Specification A53/A53M or A513/A513M or equivalent metallic materials with
a minimum nominal 0.065 in. (1.65 mm) wall thickness within the allowable tolerance ranges of the applicable metallic piping
specification.
4.2.2 Flexible riser casings shall be constructed of plastic coated flexible metallic tubing providing a crush strength of not less
than 1000 lbs. when tested in accordance with UL 360, section 11.1.11.1. The flexible tubing shall also be capable of withstanding
a tensile pull of 300 lbs. force without breaking or unwinding when tested in accordance with UL 360, section 10.5.
