IGEM/UP/1C
Strength testing, tightness testing and direct purging of
Natural Gas and LPG meter installations
This is a new Standard which applies for any meter installation
(or part thereof):
- supplying Natural Gas or LPG
- MOP < 7 bar
- with a volume not exceeding 1 m3
- having a method of temporarily sealing the outlet of the
installation/section, for example a valve, blanking device,
etc.
- not including polyethylene (PE) pipe or fittings
- which is not within scope of IGE/UP/1B.
IGEM/UP/1C recommends that if an installation is within scope of
IGE/UP/1B then IGE/UP/1B should be used. This applies whether or
not there is a means of isolation on the outlet.
IGEM/UP/1C is most useful for those meter installations that
have a means of isolation on the outlet, are out of scope of
IGE/UP/1B and where there is no desire to test the installation
pipework downstream of the meter installation.
In the main IGEM/UP/1C is aimed at those who undertake meter
installation/replacement work e.g Meter Asset Mamnagers.
