1 Scope
This document is a family specification that covers gas pipe cables and sub-ducts for
installation by blowing and/or pulling / dragging in high pressure gas pipes. Systems built with
components covered by this standard are subject to the requirements of sectional specifications
EN 60794-3 and EN 60794-4 where applicable.
Gas pipe cable and sub-duct constructions have to meet the different requirements of the gas-
companies and/or associations regarding chemical, environmental, operational interactions and
in general maintenance conditions.
A table of preferential applications, describing gas pipe cable characteristics versus methods of
installation is reported in Annex A for high pressure gas pipe cables.
Clause 4 describes a blank detail specification for gas pipe cables and sub-ducts for installation
by blowing and/or pulling / dragging in/into high pressure gas pipes. It incorporates some
minimum requirements.
Detail specifications may be prepared on the basis of this family specification.
The parameters specified in this standard may be affected by measurement uncertainty arising
either from measurement errors or calibration errors due to lack of suitable standards.
Acceptance criteria should be interpreted with respect to this consideration.
The number of fibres tested is representative of the sewer cable and should be agreed between
the customer and supplier.

4 Family specification for gas pipe cables and sub-ducts for installation by
blowing and/or pulling/dragging in/into gas pipes
(blank detail specification and minimum requirements)
4.1 Construction
4.1.1 General
In addition to the constructional requirements of sectional specifications EN 60794-3 and
EN 60794-4, where applicable, the following considerations apply to the gas pipe cables and/or
sub-ducts.
The gas pipe cables and/or sub-ducts shall be designed and manufactured for an expected
operating lifetime of at least 10 years. It shall be possible to install or remove the cable in or
from the gas pipe throughout the operational lifetime. The materials in the gas pipe cable and/or
as well as accessories including fixing elements i.e. I/O-ports and sub-ducts shall not present a
health hazard within its intended use.
4.1.2 Sub-ducts
In case of use, the sub-duct with outer nominal diameters ranging from xx mm to yy mm shall
be able to resist pressure differences needed for installation by blowing and able to withstand
the gas pressure within the gas pipe. They shall be circular and the outer and inner surfaces a
low coefficient of friction. The material shall withstand all possible chemical attacks by the
natural gas itself, as for instance the PE 100. Inner- and outer-diameter and overall minimum
wall thickness shall be specified.
4.1.3 Gas pipe cables
A gas pipe cable in accordance to this specification should be suitable for installation in high
pressure gas pipes by the following installation methods, also applicable the access gas pipe
network:
∇
∇
∇ blowing and /or pulling into a sub-duct, previously installed into the high pressure gas
pipe between two I/O - ports;
∇
∇
∇ direct installation into the gas pipe in between two adjacent I/O-ports.
The attenuation of the installed cable at the operational wavelength(s) shall not exceed values
agreed between the customer and supplier.
There shall be no fibre splice in a delivery length unless otherwise agreed by the customer and
supplier.
It shall be possible to identify each individual fibre throughout the length of the sewer cable.

4.2.1.2 Cables for direct installation into the gas pipe
Fibre count: up to 288.
Such cables are directly installed into the high pressure gas pipe with the help of a - pressure
reduced - gas flow of the natural gas itself and/or compressed air* using a stabilized parachute
within the high pressure gas pipe.
The cable should have a low coefficient of friction with respect to the inner surface of the gas
pipe, which consists of steel, casted iron and/or PE.

4.6.1.2 Details of family requirements and test conditions for sub-ducts
Tests shall be selected from those of 4.6.1.1 and the following hereinafter described.
4.6.1.2.1 Pressure
a) Family requirements
Under visual examination, without magnification, there shall be no damage to the conduit.
b) Test conditions
Method: under consideration
All conduits shall resist an air pressure of at least [2,5 x the installation pressure] at a
temperature of 20 °C for a period of 0,5 hours.
Additionally, the same performance shall be demonstrated after a sample of conduit has
been maintained at 60 °C for a period of 12 weeks.
All conduits shall resist a proof test pressure of at least [1,3 x the installation pressure] at a
temperature of 20 °C for a period of 24 hours, after tensile and bending tests.
