Sealing materials for metallic threaded joints in contact with 1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases and hot water - Part 1: Anaerobic jointing compounds
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for anaerobic jointing compounds (hereafter referred to as "jointing compounds") suitable for sealing threaded metallic joints such as those specified in ISO 7-1. These jointing compounds are for use in contact with 1st family gases (town gas), 2nd family gases (natural gas) and 3rd family gases (liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) not including LPG in the liquid form) and hot water of heating systems.

Cette norme spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essais pour les compositions d'étanchéité anaérobies (appelées ci-dessous "composition d'étanchéité") utilisables pour étancher les raccords filetés métalliques comme ceux spécifiés dans la norme ISO 7-1. Ces compositions d'étanchéité sont utilisables en contact des gaz du 1er, 2ème et 3ème groupe (non compris le GPL sous forme liquide), et de l'eau chaude de chauffage en accord avec les prescriptions du tableau 1.

Overview
EN 751-1:1996 is a CEN European Standard that specifies requirements and test methods for anaerobic jointing compounds used as sealing materials for metallic threaded joints (e.g., threads per ISO 7-1). The standard covers anaerobic sealants intended for use in contact with 1st family gases (town gas), 2nd family gases (natural gas), 3rd family gases (LPG, excluding LPG in liquid form) and hot water in heating systems. EN 751-1 is intended to ensure safe, reliable sealing performance of anaerobic compounds in gas and hot-water pipework.
Key Topics
- Scope and application: Defines the intended uses for anaerobic jointing compounds on metallic threaded joints in gas supply and heating systems.
- Performance requirements: Sets out the types of requirements the jointing compounds must meet to be considered suitable (sealing integrity, compatibility with thread dimensions such as ISO 7-1, and suitability for the specified gas families and hot water).
- Test methods: Specifies test procedures to evaluate product performance and compliance - for example, tests addressing leak-tightness and interaction with gas and hot-water environments (standard describes required test methods rather than proprietary lab techniques).
- Marking and documentation: Requirements for product identification, manufacturer information and declaration of suitability for use with specified gas families and hot water.
- Safety and conformity: Guidance for manufacturers and conformity assessment to support safe installation and regulatory compliance.
Applications
EN 751-1 is a practical reference for:
- Sealant manufacturers designing and validating anaerobic jointing compounds for gas and heating systems.
- Plumbing and gas installers selecting approved sealants for metallic threaded joints in domestic and commercial heating and gas distribution.
- System designers and specifiers who need to reference a recognized standard when specifying materials for pipelines and equipment.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors performing compliance tests against European requirements.
- Regulatory bodies and procurement teams requiring demonstrable compliance for safety and performance in gas supply and water heating installations.
Related Standards
- ISO 7-1 (threads for pressure-tight joints on threaded pipes) - referenced thread specification.
- Other parts of EN 751 (other sealing material types and test methods) and national adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 751-1) may provide complementary requirements for different sealing technologies.
- ICS categories: 83.140.50 (Seals), 91.140.40 (Gas supply systems), 91.140.60 (Water supply systems).
