[ AS 4645 ]

There are pipelines, and then there are pipelines.  Some are long and thin, and some are short and wide.  Another differentiator is what pressure the stuff inside is at, as it wings its way from source to use: is it at high or low pressure.

While AS2885 outlines requirements to allow pipeline operation at high pressures, the requirements are different for operating at low pressures.  That’s why we have the Australian Standard AS4645:  Gas Distribution Networks.  AS4645 sets out the requirements for the reticulation system bringing gas into homes and buildings.

It’s another case where pipelines are similar, but different.
