Requirements for fire protection to the central system for liquefied gas fuel used in buildings:
The extensions of gas are as extensions of the tank or cylinder or as a small gas station to the sites of the consumer. The device provided such as the tank is loaded at the same location by tanker opposite to what is done according to the portable gas cylinders that are transmitted every time for the purpose of loading.

4-12/1	Estimate the size of the central fuel tank gas:
4-12/1/1	The size of the reservoir is estimated by the highest withdrawal of gas per hour and the amount of stock required, as well as the area of the site in which the tank will be placed according to the conditions of security and safety.

The size of the reservoir in liters = the amount of consumption in pounds per month × 1.5
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
0.7 × 1.272

Where (70)% of the size used for tank = 0.7
(Maximum use is 85% of the volume of the reservoir.)

Note: one liter of liquefied petroleum gas = 1.272 pounds.

4-12/3/2/5	A watch valve on the loading pipe if the loading point was above the surface of the reservoir, while if the loading point was at the end of the tube tied to the tank, a valve must be also set as a watching one at the end of the pipe.
4-12/3/2/6	The counter of the gas levels allow consumers to know what percentage of the level of liquid gas.
4-12/3/2/7	The pressure regulator primarily on the usage pipe provides the gas with the necessary pressure for the consumer. And there is a valve for the lock located between the tank and the pressure regulator put the tank off work the reservoir when needed, and this valve has a red color.

Or 1.5 bar when the regulator is larger in size (40 kg / hour) and then the regulator in the second phase must lower the pressure to (37 mille bar).
4-12/8/2	When the using cylinders are empty, the transforming regulator starts to withdrawal from the backup cylinders and tends toward isolating the empty ones.

4-12/9	To supply with the petroleum gas through the central net.
4-12/9/1	To supply one or more than one tank a counter should be installed with (another pressure regulator) at every point of consumption. The gas is distributed to the point of consumption with a pressure of (1.5 bar) through the first pressure regulator that starts directly after the reservoir. Then each location is provided with a second pressure regulator that contains several safety devices.
4-12/9/2	The second pressure regulator is characterized with the providing of safety inside the building while watching the withdrawal process and gas pressure. It plays the role of the safety valve that directly shut down the gas when its pressure is changed from its regular level. And in case it failed to do its job, it is restarted by an expert technician in order for him to check for the safety of the extensions.

4-12/10	Requirements prevention in the delivery pipelines of liquefied petroleum gas (extensions):
4-12/10/1	Materials
4-12/10/1/1	It is required to have the pipes of a good brand of metal or copper in order to deliver under medium pressure (operating pressure 4 bars), and its manufacture must be according to the international standards (ISO).
4-12/10/1/2	The distribution is in copper or metal pipes, and choosing is according to the size and this is concerning light pressure (28, 37, or 50 mille bar the operating pressure), for example, if you wanted to install short gas extensions (containing ovens) the best choice is to have the pipes made from copper with the size of 3/8 or ½ inch manufactured according to the standards. (BS 2871)
4-12/10/1/3	You can install copper pipes used for water according to specifications (BS 2871) and this is for the internal extensions of light pressure.
4-12/10/1/4	Galvanized iron pipes may also be used in internal extensions for light pressure for the industrial plan, commercial works, and even housework.

4-12/10/2	Prevention requirements for delivery pipelines of liquefied petroleum gas:
4-12/10/2/1	The interior lines are installed and kept in an obvious way at a high or low, suspended ceiling or under the ground.
4-12/10/2/2	The pipes may be the installed in ready streams in the ground and it must be protected from corrosion by protective tape.
4-12/10/2/3	Also it is allowed the pipe be well tied to the outer wall of the building at a high or low level to the point of consumption.
4-12/10/2/4	In the case of crossing the wall, particularly the double wall, the pipe must pass vertically through a bigger protective tube. The gas pipes is set inside the protective tube in a way that ensures that gas will not transfer from one tube to another or from the wall or floor.
4-12/10/2/5	Whatever the method of passing gas pipeline it must be tight accurately to the wall.
4-12/10/2/6	In the case the gas pipeline was set directly into the hole it must be at least at a depth of (50 cm) without rocks so as not to damage the tube.

4-12/10/3	Prevention requirements in the selection of pipeline delivery of liquefied petroleum gas:
4-12/10/3/1	If the pipeline delivery of liquefied petroleum gas was under the ground, the distance that separates the gas pipes from other tubes should not be less than the following:
4-12/10/3/1/2	20 cm from electrical cables.
4-12/10/3/1/3	10 cm from any other lines.
4-12/10/3/2	A warning net should be placed above the gas pipe.
4-12/10/3/3	If the pipeline delivery of liquefied petroleum gas was obvious, the distance that separates the gas pipe from other tubes should not be less than:
4-12/10/3/1	3 cm if it was parallel to the electrical wire or steam or hot water ... and so on.
4-12/9/3/2	1 cm, if it was passes over the electrical wire or steam or hot water ... and so on.

4-12/10/4	Prevention requirements in the connection of stoves with tubes of the liquefied petroleum gas:
4-12/10/4/1	Stoves are connected to tubes of copper or iron with a bolt to facilitate the process of separating and joining in the future.
4-12/10/4/2	Rubber hoses are allowed to be used after the second regulator of low-pressure, under a condition that the length of the hose must not exceed six feet (180 cm).
4-12/10/4/3	A valve must be set for each stove device and should be near it, in order to be separated from the device itself without affecting the other stoves. This valve is subjected to the adopted standards in order to be valid for use in the liquefied gas pipes.

4-12/11	General preventive Precautions for fire protection in the central system of the liquefied petroleum gas:
4-12/11/1	Civil defense must be notified with the precaution means against fire in the design phase of the project and in stages of implementation and before operation.
4-12/11/2	All the extensions of the central gas should be tested through sufficient pressure-, in order to ensure that they are fully accurate and free from defects and shortcomings, before operating it with gas.
4-12/11/3	To provide fire and alarm systems, suitable for liquefied petroleum gas, and place it in strategic locations near to the gas station.
4-12/11/4	Setting warning signs for safety in the area around the reservoir, such as / No smoking, and expressions indicating the presence of a gas tank, and areas that do not tolerate the presence of flammable materials and so on.
4-12/11/5	Interior kitchens must be equipped with warning devices for the leak of gas, and these devices automatically cut off gas in the event of a gas leak.
