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).
