MATERIALS 1.

General copper tubes, which are used for positives pressure and suction pipelines, shall be of as drawn seamless tube, manufactured in accordance with British standard BSEN 1057 (seamless round copper tubes for medical gases or vacuum), AS/NZS 1571, EN 13348, or B 280 for medical gas purposes. Brand/manufacturer: CRANE & ENFIELD or KEMBLA NOTE : the installation of suction pipelines using PVC and other similar plastics material can results in cracks and leakage as the materials degrade with age. 2. Oxygen compability of components. All components of a pipeline system for all medical gases and suction shall compatible with oxygen under normal working conditions and shall be clean and free from oil, grease and particulate matter. Components shall included, but not be limited to, containers, pipes, valves seats, lubricants, fitting and gaskets. NOTES: Appendix D gives recommendations for the use of materials in pipeline systems Compability involves both combustibility and ease of ignation. Materials that burn in air will burn violently in pure oxygen, particularly oxygen under pressure. Similarly, materials that can be ignited by friction at a valve seat or stem packing or by adiabatic compression produced when oxygen at high pressure is rapidly introduced into a system initially at low pressure. The requirement of this clause includes components for gases other than oxygen or oxygen mixtures because it is difficult to segregate materials in stores and particularly on construction sites during installation. 3. Cleaning of pipelines and components General as all pipe supplied in accordance with AS/NZS 1571 are factory cleaned, degrease and capped prior to delivery, the pipes shall not be cleaned on site, except for necessary purging operations to remove any particles entrained during installation. Valves and fitting shall be delivered clean, and shall be protected from contamination during delivery to the site. All valves shall have labels attached, stating cleaned for oxygen service Particular care shall be exercised in the storage and handling of all pipe fittings. After cutting, pipes shall be temporarily capped or plugged to prevent contamination while awaiting installation. On site communication when a fitting or other component becomes contaminated onsite, it shall be returned to the supplier for cleaning.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PIPELINES 1. General Pipelines and fittings sizes shall be selected to provide the required design flow of the entire health care facility. 2. Pipeline design pressure and flows The nominal design working pressure shall be 415 kPa for medical gas supply, 60 kPa for medical suction and 1400 kPa for surgical tool gas supply. Flow requirements should be determined on the basis of discussions with the health care facility to ascertain the expected and projected gas usage and number of terminal units required, as the number of terminal units required depends on the particular health care facilitys requirements. 3. Surgical tool gas The gas used to drive surgical tools shall be medical breathing air, with a water content of not more than 25 ppm NOTES : i. This level of dryness cannot be achieved by conventional refrigeration drying. ii. Nitrogen and nitrous oxide do not support life and cannot be differentiated by the commonly used oxygen analyzer. Because of the ever present risk of error of connection at the input to a pipeline or cross connection (or both) in the pipe-work (following alterations), medical nitrogen is not recommended for used with gas powered tools in healthcare facilities. Medical breathing air for surgical tools should have a specific outlet. Tools gas is usually supplied at a pressure about 1400 kPa which may damage ventilators and other equipment if used as medical breathing air. iii. Cylinder manifolds are generally the preferred method of supply for surgical tool gas as the dryness requirement of 25 p.p.m of moisture is usually difficult, requires frequent or continuous monitoring and is expensive to attain, if using compressors. 4. In-line fittings and valves Where in line fittings and valves are used for pipelines the fittings shall not be less than the bore of the piping connected to them. Fittings and joints which permit disconnection shall not be installed in any buried pipeline. Couplings shall at all times be easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. 5. Surgical tools gas regulator Surgical tool gas outlets should have a variable regulator immediately upstream of the terminal units. Adjustment of this regulator should be available to medical and nursing staff within the operating room.

10. MEDICAL SUCION SYSTEMS In the design of suction systems, the cost and construction penalty for oversizing the pipework is small. The sme is not true of the sizing of the plant. Over sizing of the plant has a major impact on both cost and construction. For this reason, separate design flow rates for pipelines and for plant calculations should be used.

Pipeline vacuum system The design of the suction pipeline system and capacity of the pumps shall be such that an occluded suction of not less than 60 kPa gauge pressure and a free airflow or not less than 40L/min shall be achieved at any one suction point. A minimum of two suction pumps, preferably identical shall be installed with each capable of supplying the design flow rate on its own. Suction pump performance shall be specified in volumetric capacity and free air flow. Noise generated from the plant shall not cause sound pressure levels in adjacent areas to exceed the levels stated in AS 2107 for health buildings. Vibration generated from the plant shall not exceed the levels specified in AS 2625 parts 1-4. Electrical requirements The suction source shall be installed accordance with the electrical requirements of AS 3000. Suction receiver Where a receiver is fitted, its quality of materials, welding and general construction shall be in accordance with AS 1210. The nominal volume of the receiver and pipework should approximate the design flowrate volume per minute of the system. Receiver capacity shall be such that no pumps starts more than 10 times per hour during normal working conditions. Pump inlet filters Pump inlet filters shall be installed to remove solids, particulate matter and free moisture to prevent damage to suction pumps. A duplicated filter assembly complete with isolating valves and pressure differential gauge shall be provided in the pipeline, arranged to enable maintenance or replacement or either filter without interruption to the suction system. Each filter shall be sized not less than the design flow rate. Pump discharge The discharge gases shall be vented outside the pump house to atmosphere well away from any ventilation intake, window and areas normally frequented. Suction pump control Controls shall be provided to activate any additional units automatically should the lead unit of the system be incapable of maintaining adequate supply. Controls shall be arranged so that a failure of one pump control system will not interfere with the correct operation of the remaining plant.

11. LOCATIONS OF SOURCES OF GAS SUPPLY Cryogenic Liquid Systems The location of cryogenic liquid systems shall comply with the requirements of AS 1894. Stationary cryogenic system shall not be installed over subterrancan structures such as underground bunkers and basement rooms and shall be not less than 5 m away from openings trenches, subterrancan structures, manholes, gullies or sumps and not less than 3 m from public access routes. Stationary cryogenic liquid oxygen vessels shall be installed in a position which is well ventilated, with the control equipment protected from the weather and with the area fenced to prevent unauthorized access. When a cryogenic liquid supply plant is to be filled from road tankers, adequate access for the vehicles shall be provided. The vehicle standing/discharge area shall be a minimum of 3 m square concrete apron and of designed strength to withstand any traffic loads. All parts of the area about the depot on which any liquid oxygen is likely to spill shall be paved with smooth trowelled concrete of a designed strength to withstand any traffic load. Gas Manifold System Gas manifold systems may be installed either outdoors or inside a building with sample natural ventilation to open areas, thus ensuring that risk of oxygen enrichment or deficiency in parts or the building is minimized and that no special hazard exists for operators in the operation of the system. 12.

The minimum outside diameter of any dropper or riser line should be 12 mm. The minimum outside diameter for copper pipes for suction should be 18 mm. Interconnection No two medical gas piping systems containing different gases or the same supply the same system, each shall be connected through a non-return valve at the junction of the source of supply and the pipelines. Pipeline Supports Medical gas pipelines shall be supported at intervals sufficient to prevent sagging or distortion in accordance with table. Supports shall be of proper strength so that the pipeline cannot be moved accidentally from its position. Supports shall be of suitable material, or treated, to prevent corrosion of both pipe and supports. Medical gas pipelines shall not be used as a support for any other pipelines, including medical gas pipelines or conduits. However, a common support bracket of sufficient strength is permitted to independently support each medical gas pipeline. U-bolt pipe supports shall not be used. Where vertical pipes are exposed in rooms, they shall be secured at floor and ceiling; pipes up to 25 mm shall have at least two intermediate supports.
