Gas Pipe Bonding.

Zoomup

What is the opinion of the team regarding this example of gas pipe bonding please?

    Is insulating material an alternative to bonding in any other situation?

    Potentially in very situation I would have thought - if it's insulated or otherwise out of reach it can not longer introduce a potential (at least at that point) so it's no longer an extraneous-conductive-part so no longer needs bonding.

    Do the gas people know about electricity, well that is for you to decide?

    They might equally ask the electrical industry really think it's a good idea to implement PME where diverted N and open PEN currents are shoved down pipework carrying flammable and potentially explosive gas, and whose continuity necessarily has to be broken on occasions during maintenance.
