Steel pipes are generally used for pipe installations. According to the flammability classes of building materials, steel pipes are classified as non-flammable, non-flammable, non-flammable and charcoal. Workplaces, factoriesoperating under pressure in plants periodic control of piping is important for human health. Failure to perform controls may have negative effects. If you do not get into trouble and your production process does not interfere, make periodic checks to ensure occupational health and safety. Periodic control of piping systems, controlling of pipelines operating under pressure and at high temperatures at certain intervals, periodic checks by authorized persons and institutions should be done according to the regulation. In spite of everything, if the regular and continuous control and inspections of the piping installations are not made, they may leak at a time of need or be unusable at all. Therefore, in order to avoid major damages in the following years, the use of pipelines, work machines and equipment at workplaces, as explained in legal regulations.periodical maintenance in accordance with the minimum requirements for health and safety. This legal obligation is stipulated in the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment.
Pipes are used for fire protection systems for fire protection of buildings for the following reasons:
- In sprinkler systems, sprinkler system, hydrant system and fire cabinet system are installed.
- Foam, gas and dry powder stationary extinguishing systems for the transport of water, gas, foam or similar substances
In the annex of the mentioned Regulation, Regarding Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls (Annex 3), the control periods of the installations in operation and the control criteria and related standards to be considered in these controls are explained. In this context, pipe installations, which are part of the fire installation, must be inspected and inspected at least once a year unless another specific period is specified in the standards. During these inspections, it is first determined whether the installation meets or does not meet the criteria shown in the project. Subsequently, it is investigated whether the pipe installation meets the criteria of the following standards published by domestic and foreign organizations:
- TS 9811 Fire extinguishers - Medium and high expansion foam systems - Maintenance and inspection
- TS EN 671-3 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Hose systems - Part 3: Hose reels with semi-rigid hose and maintenance of flat hose systems
- TS EN 12416-1 + A2 Stationary fire extinguishing systems - Powder systems - Part 1: Component properties and test methods
- TS EN 12845 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Automatic sprinkler systems - Design, installation and maintenance
Our company conducts the inspections of pipe installations in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.
