What is BS EN 14419 - District heating pipes about?
BS EN 14419 is a European standard on district heating pipes that discusses the best procedures and criteria required for workability surveillance systems. BS EN 14419 specifies requirements and test methods for surveillance systems for directly buried hot water networks by EN 13941‑1 and EN 13941‑2.
BS EN 14419 specifies requirements for the manufacture of measuring elements, for the manufacture of factory-made bonded pipe, fitting, and valve assemblies with measuring elements as well as for the assembly of the measuring elements in the field.
All requirements and recommendations described in BS EN 14419 are based on the experience gained with existing surveillance systems and their principle function.
The specific requirements given are only valid for electrical wire-based surveillance systems forming an integral part of the pipes, valves, fittings, and joints.
Who is BS EN 14419 - District heating pipes for?
BS EN 14419 on district heating pipes is relevant to:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of district heating and cooling pipes
- Organisation involved in installation and maintenance of district heating and cooling pipe
Why should you use BS EN 14419 - District heating pipes?
District heating (also known as heat networks or teleheating) is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location through a system of insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating.
BS EN 14419 navigates you through the installation, assembly, and operation, manufacture of pipe elements with measuring elements, assembly of measuring elements in the field, quality control.
BS EN 14419 provides you with a comprehensive guidance throughout the process of production and installation of district heating systems. BS EN 14419 helps you ensure safe and reliable installation and uniform- high-quality setup and working of district heating. With BS EN 14419 you can be ensured of all the requirements of electrical wire-based surveillance systems.
