Aksa Balıkesir natural gas project approval and drawing – Balıkesir, Türkiye

A quick note for firms preparing projects in the Aksa Balıkesir area: Aksa Balıkesir Doğalgaz Dağıtım A.Ş. serves Balıkesir and belongs to the Aksa group. How its specification is handled in GazPlan, the calculation limits and the approval steps are set out below.

Rules: TS 7363 common

Specification status

For Aksa Balıkesir projects, Aksa's shared rules document (Indoor Installation Design and Application Rules, 2019 Rev.01) applies and has been built into GazPlan. It refers the calculation values to TS 7363:2018, so until we have the text of the standard the limits come from a common profile, based on TS 7363 general rules; they will be updated when it is uploaded.

Rules from the Aksa document built into the app

  • DN15 is not used in welded installations inside a flat (art. 2.10); automatic sizing picks DN20 or larger.
  • No tee branch is made at the meter outlet just before the pipe enters the flat (art. 2.9).
  • Inlet valves are of the lockable type and unused outlets are sealed and blanked (art. 2.7); the main shut-off valve and the meter valve carry an OPEN-CLOSED sign (art. 2.5).
  • Type C or condensing appliances up to 50 kW may be placed outdoors in a ventilated cabinet (art. 2.15).

  1. Survey: take measurements, list the appliances and note the flue and vent situation (a first survey can be done from photos).
  2. Project: choose Balıkesir as the province in GazPlan; pipe sizes and pressure loss are worked out with the common profile.
  3. Review: check the calculation sheet, isometric drawing and title block against the layout the company asks for.
  4. Submission: upload the file to the channel the company accepts, signed in the required way.
  5. On site: installation, testing and gas opening according to the approved project.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Aksa Balıkesir distribute natural gas?

According to the GAZBİR list, Aksa Balıkesir Doğalgaz Dağıtım A.Ş. serves Balıkesir. Other distribution companies also operate in Balıkesir, so check the district of the address.

Does GazPlan calculate with Aksa Balıkesir rules?

Aksa's shared rules document (2019 Rev.01) has been read and its installation rules are built into the app. Because the document leaves the calculation values to TS 7363:2018, the limits use the common profile, based on TS 7363 general rules, and the app warns that the rules have not been verified.

Which limits are used to size pipes in the Aksa Balıkesir area?

The common profile in GazPlan allows 1 mbar loss from the service box to the meter and 0.8 mbar from the meter to the appliance, with a velocity limit of 6 m/s at low pressure. These values have not been verified for this company; the company's current specification is what counts for a project.

How many days does project approval take in the Aksa Balıkesir area?

We have no source for a company-specific time, so we do not quote a number of days. It depends on how many applications are in the queue, whether the project is complete the first time and how many corrections are needed. For current information, see aksadogalgaz.com.tr.
