: Regulations covered gas pipelines, purification plants (such as dust removal for blast furnaces), and specialized heating units for rolling and thermal shops.
: The management of blast furnace, coke, converter, and natural gases, as well as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
In the high-stakes environment of metallurgy and coke production, safety isn't just a policy—it’s a prerequisite for operation. For over a decade, PB 11-401-01 served as the definitive framework for managing gas facilities in these sectors. Although now superseded, its rigorous standards formed the foundation of modern industrial safety protocols in Russia.
: Chapters 2 and 3 mandated strict requirements for the layout and installation of inter-shop and shop-level gas pipelines.
