Elle spécifie les matériaux, les dimensions et tolérances, les propriétés mécaniques et les revêtements standards des tuyaux, raccords et accessoires. Elle indique également des exigences de performance pour tous les composants y compris les assemblages.

L'ISO 2531:2009 s'applique aux tuyaux, raccords et accessoires moulés par tout procédé de fonderie ou fabriqués à partir de composants moulés, ainsi qu'aux assemblages correspondants, pour la gamme des DN 40 à DN 2600 inclus.

This document is applicable to regulators with operating pressures greater than 500 kPa and up to and including 10 MPa (100 bar) and nominal diameters up to DN 400 for use with fuel gases as natural gas, manufactured gas, biomethane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

This document is applicable to:

—    test methods which are intended for product type test, routine tests and product surveillance tests;

—    regulators which use the pipeline gas as a source of control energy unassisted by any external power source;

—    regulators integrating on the same body a second regulator, used as monitor, complying with the requirements in this document;

—    regulators integrating a safety shut off device (SSD) according to ISO 23555-3;

—    regulators incorporating a creep (venting) relief device and/or a vent limiter complying with the requirements in this document.

This document does not apply to:

—    regulators upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consuming appliances which are installed downstream of domestic gas meters;

—    regulators designed to be incorporated into pressure control systems used in service lines (pipework from the main pipework in a gas infrastructure to the point of delivery of the gas) with declared volumetric flow rate = 200 m³/h at normal conditions and declared inlet pressure = 500 kPa (5 bar);

—    industrial process control valves, such as IEC 60534 (all parts);

—    regulators used in aggressive/sour gas environments (gas environments containing water and H2S are considered sour) or severely corrosive conditions;

—    regulators in service conditions with renewables (e.g. H2NG with hydrogen more than 10 %) and/or waste gases (e.g. biogas etc.), if additional information is not provided (e. g. contaminant, liquid, etc.).

This document specifies generic safety, constructional, performance, testing and documentation requirements for high pressure controls for use in gas transmission, distribution and installations (hereafter referred to as controls).

This document is applicable to controls with operating pressures greater than 500 kPa (5 bar) and up to and including 10 MPa (100 bar) and nominal size up to DN 400 for use with fuel gases as natural gas, manufactured gas, biomethane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in commercial, industrial installations, including fuel gas infrastructures.

The test methods given in this document are intended for product type test, routine tests and batch surveillance tests.

This document is not applicable to:

—    controls upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consuming appliances which are installed downstream of domestic gas meters;

—    controls designed with declared maximum capacity =200 m³/h (normal conditions) and declared maximum inlet pressure =500 kPa (5 bar), to be incorporated into pressure control systems used in service lines (pipework from the main pipework in a gas infrastructure to the point of delivery of the gas);

—    industrial process control valves, such as IEC 60534;

—    controls used in aggressive/sour gas environments (gas environments containing water and H₂S are considered sour) or severely corrosive conditions;

—    controls in service conditions with renewables (e.g. H₂NG with hydrogen more than 10 %) and/or waste gases (e.g. biogas, etc.), if additional information is not provided (e.g. contaminant, liquid, etc.).
