-   high pressure: gas with a maximum operating pressure over 16 bar and a design temperature between −40 °C and 120 °C.
-   steel pipeline infrastructure: infrastructure consisting of pipeline components, such as pipes, valves, couplings and other equipment, restricted to components made of unalloyed or low alloyed carbon steel and joined by welds, flanges or mechanical couplings.
-   gas: non-corrosive natural gas, biomethane gas, hydrogen gas and mixtures of these gases where technical evaluation has ensured that operating conditions or constituents or properties of the gas do not affect the safe operation of the pipeline.
Gas infrastructures covered by this document begin after the gas producer's metering station.
NOTE 2   The functional demarcation of the pipeline system is usually directly after an isolating valve of the installation, but can differ in particular situations. The functional demarcation of the pipeline system is usually located on an isolating valve of the installation, but can differ in particular situations.
A schematic representation of pipelines for gas infrastructure is given in Figure 1.
