What else can I help you with?
Can type L copper poison you when used for medical gas?
No it will not poison you. Copper piping is used extensively in Medical Gas applications. "TYPE L" signifies the wall thickness of the piping.
Can you use pex tubing for gas line?
No, PEX tubing is not suitable for gas lines. It is designed for plumbing applications, specifically for water supply lines, and does not meet the necessary standards for gas transport due to its susceptibility to degradation from gas compounds. For gas lines, it's essential to use materials specifically approved for that purpose, such as black iron, copper, or flexible gas piping. Always consult local building codes and regulations when selecting materials for gas installations.
What is code for gre piping?
The code for gas piping in the United States is primarily governed by the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). For GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy) piping specifically, industry standards such as ASTM D2996 and ASME B31.3 may apply, depending on the application and region. It's essential to consult local regulations and codes, as they can vary significantly. Always ensure compliance with the latest safety and installation standards.
What materials are suitable for forming gas piping or dissociated ammonia gas piping?
Piping material used for forming gas would be 316L stainless steel.
Are cast iron fittings used for gas?
Yes, cast iron fittings can be used for gas applications, particularly in older installations. They are durable and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for handling gas. However, modern installations often prefer materials like steel or brass due to weight and ease of installation. Always ensure compliance with local codes and regulations when using any materials for gas piping.
What applications that use black iron pipe rather than galvanized iron pipe?
Black iron pipe is used for gas installations but ONLY if the piping is indoors. Outdoor gas piping is usually done in galvanized pipe. Steam is also piped with black pipe, fire sprinkler and standpipe systems also use black pipe.
Gas piping schedule?
I use schedule 40 for natural gas BUT if your talking medical Gases then look up the NFPA 54 or contact the CDA and your local codes
What should rooftop gas piping be?
Galvanized piping or painted depending on local codes and type of fuel (gas) NO drip legs where the piping is subject to freeze ups
Why electrical wiring?
