a) water mains and services lines;
b) conveyance of water for both outside and inside buildings;
c) drainage and sewerage under pressure;
d) irrigation under pressure.
It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water under pressure up to and including 25 °C (cold water) intended for human consumption and for general purposes as well as for waste water and water for irrigation under pressure.
This part of prEN 17176 is also applicable for the conveyance of water, waste water and water for irrigation up to and including 45 °C. For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, prEN 17176-2:2017, Figure C.1 applies.
