This European Standard contains requirements for the production and testing of weld joints for the installation and modification of onshore steel pipelines and pipework used in gas infrastructure, including in-service pipelines, for all pressure ranges for the carriage of processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according to EN ISO 13686 and for the carriage of non-conventional gases such as injected biomethane, where
- the pipeline elements are made of unalloyed or low-alloyed carbon steel;
- the pipeline is not located within commercial or industrial premises as integral part of the industrial process on those premises except for any pipelines and facilities delivering gas to such premises;
- the pipework is not located within household installations according to EN 1775;
- the design temperature of the system is between -40 °C up to and including 120 °C.
The onshore steel pipelines and pipework used in gas infrastructure include in-service pipelines, for all pressure ranges for the carriage of processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according to EN ISO 13686 and for the carriage of non-conventional gases complying with EN ISO 13686, and for which a detailed technical evaluation of the functional requirements (such as injected biomethane) is performed ensuring there are no other constituents or properties of the gases that can affect the integrity of the pipeline. This standard is not applicable to welds produced prior to the publication of this European Standard.

Infrastruktura za plin - Varjenje jeklenih cevovodov - Funkcionalne zahteve

Ta evropski standard vsebuje zahteve za izdelavo in preskušanje zvarnih spojev za namestitev in spremembe kopenskih jeklenih cevovodov in cevovodnih sistemov, ki se uporabljajo v infrastrukturi za plin, vključno z obratovalnimi cevovodi, za vse razpone tlakov za prenos obdelanega, nestrupenega in nekorozivnega zemeljskega plina v skladu s standardom EN ISO 13686 ter za prenos nekonvencionalnih plinov, kot je vbrizgani biometan, kjer:
– so elementi cevovoda izdelani iz nelegiranega ali malo legiranega ogljikovega jekla;
– cevovod ni nameščen znotraj poslovnih ali industrijskih prostorov kot sestavni del industrijskega postopka na teh prostorih, razen za cevovode in opremo za dostavo plina na ta območja;
– cevovod ni nameščen znotraj gospodinjskih inštalacij v skladu s standardom EN 1775;
– je projektna temperatura sistema med –40 °C do vključno 120 °C.
Kopenski jekleni cevovodi in cevovodni sistemi, ki se uporabljajo v infrastrukturi za plin, vključujejo obratovalne cevovode in so namenjeni za vse razpone tlakov za prenos obdelanega, nestrupenega in nekorozivnega zemeljskega plina v skladu s standardom EN ISO 13686 ter za prenos nekonvencionalnih plinov v skladu s standardom EN ISO 13686, pri čemer se zanje izvede podrobno tehnično vrednotenje funkcionalnih zahtev (kot npr. za vbrizgani biometan), ki zagotavlja, da plini nimajo drugih sestavin ali lastnosti, ki lahko vplivajo na neoporečnost cevovoda. Ta standard se ne uporablja za zvare, izdelane pred objavo tega evropskega standarda.

Foreword This document (EN 12732:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas infrastructure”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12732:2000. This European Standard has been prepared under mandate M/017 given to CEN by the Commission of the European Communities and the European Free Trade Association. Annex I provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition. There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 ”Gas infrastructure“ to cover all parts from the input of gas to the transmission system up to the inlet connection of the gas appliances, whether for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes. In preparing this standard a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed. Gas infrastructure is complex and the importance on safety of its construction and use has led to the development of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These detailed statements embrace recognised standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed by the legal structures of the member countries. CEN/TC 234 will continue its work updating this standard to the latest developments at regular intervals. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
