This guideline G 408 shall apply to the conversion of pipelines made from plastic to hydrogen-containing, methane-rich gases (2nd gas family) or hydrogen (5th gas family) in accordance with DVGW Code of Practice G 260 up to an operating pressure of 16 bar and ends with the main shut-off valve, the thematic threshold to DVGW Guideline G 655. This guideline G 408 can also be applied to the conversion of plastic gas pipeline operated with gases that do not conform to the specifications of DVGW Code of Practice G 260 if the gases’ specific characteristics and, if applicable, other existing regulations are taken into account. The respective guidelines on pipeline conversion shall be consulted for networks using different pipeline materials (e.g., plastic and steel).
