Gas portfolio writing up

[SPUD94]

Hi im just in the process of writing up my Gas portfolio...

I have included all of the following descriptions for the boiler installations i have completed..


Visual Inspection
Description of work carried out (existing gas run, flue termination, flue analysis etc)
Standing Pressure
Working Pressure
Explain tighness test etc...

I want to know if I have to include calculations for Pipe Sizing on the installations I have worked on.. I know how to pipe size but the some most of the installations I worked on were like for like installs where the boiler was the same KW and required the same flow of gas m3/hr.

Anyone who has had to complete a gas portfolio know if this is a requirement or remember if they needed to include calculations for pipe sizing of the installation...

i would and also pipework drop also actual and worked out

There is no written-in-stone requirement to write up pipe sizing calculations. Many engineers use phone apps anyway. However, if you actually did calculations why not include them?

Like for like or not, it would be worthwhile to include the pipe calcs. They could be illuminating. e.g. one boiler I changed out recently had a monster run in 22mm copper, I thought no way is that going to comply. Anyway did a pressure check before I changed the boiler and it was 9mBar at the boiler inlet.. lol - ended up replacing all the pipework back to the meter in steel....

Hi there,

Each academy will requitre slightly different stuff.

I would suggest it doesn't harm to get calculations as well as faults of pipework any other issue you were able to find on site. I'd take a picture and write it up what was wrong and how it should be done so you are on the safe site ...
