What Is Gas Pipework Purging?
Gas purging is the process of safely removing air or inert gas from a new or modified gas pipework system before introducing natural gas or LPG. It can also involve purging gas from a system before decommissioning or repair. This ensures safety and prevents explosive gas mixtures from forming during commissioning or maintenance.
There are two main types of gas purging:
- Purge-in: Removing air/inert gas and replacing it with natural gas or LPG
- Purge-out: Removing gas and replacing it with air/inert gas (usually before dismantling or repair)
When Is Commercial Gas Purging Required?
You’ll typically need gas pipe purging if:
- You’re installing a new commercial gas system
- You’re extending or modifying existing gas pipework
- You’re decommissioning an old gas line
- You're reconnecting after a long shutdown or service
- The gas pipework volume is over 0.035m³ (requiring compliance with IGEM/UP/1A or UP/1 standards)
Our expert engineers assess your system and perform purging with full risk assessments, method statements, and all necessary certification.
