In conjunction with DIN EN 1594, this Technical Rule G 463 applies to the planning and construction of steel high pressure gas pipelines with a design pressure of more than 16 bar for supplying gas to the general public as well as to connected energy facilities on company premises and in the field of commercial gas application of gases of the 2nd and 5th gas family as defined by DVGW Code of Practice G 260.

The scope of application has no upwards limitation in terms of the technical parameters nominal diameter and design pressure.

This Technical Rule can be applied mutatis mutandis to the construction of high pressure gas pipelines which do not conform to the specifications of DVGW Code of Practice G 260, provided that the specific characteristics of the gases or, if applicable, other already existing technical sets of rules are taken into account.
