Gas cylinders - Operational procedures for the safe removal of valves from gas cylinders (ISO 25760:2009)

ISO 25760:2009 is intended for suppliers, operators in testing facilities, operators performing cylinder maintenance and any person authorized to remove valves from gas cylinders. It details procedures for the safe removal of valves from cylinders and includes techniques for the identification of inoperable valves.
Only the risks due to gas and gas mixtures under pressure are addressed; other technical issues relating to the removal of a valve from a cylinder are not covered.
Some specialized equipment and procedures are in use in parts of the gas industry to safely remove cylinder valves from low pressure gas cylinders while under pressure, e.g. liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); these techniques are not included in ISO 25760:2009.

Bouteilles à gaz - Modes opératoires de dépose en toute sécurité des robinets de bouteilles à gaz (ISO 25760:2009)

L'ISO 25760:2009 est destinée aux fournisseurs, aux personnes effectuant des contre-essais et aux opérateurs assurant la maintenance des bouteilles, ainsi qu'à toute personne autorisée à procéder à la dépose des robinets des bouteilles à gaz. Elle détaille les méthodes permettant de retirer les robinets des bouteilles en toute sécurité et présente des techniques permettant d'identifier les robinets non manœuvrables.
Ne sont traités que les risques dus au gaz et aux mélanges gazeux sous pression; les autres questions techniques liées à la dépose d'un robinet d'une bouteille ne sont pas abordées.
Des équipements spéciaux et des modes opératoires particuliers sont utilisés dans certains secteurs de l'industrie du gaz pour permettre de déposer en toute sécurité les robinets des bouteilles à gaz à basse pression, par exemple à gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL), encore sous pression; l'ISO 25760:2009 ne porte pas sur ces techniques.

Plinske jeklenke - Delovni postopki za varno odstranjevanje ventilov s plinskih jeklenk (ISO 25760:2009)

Ta mednarodni standard je namenjen za dobavitelje, operaterje v preskusnih centrih, vzdrževalce jeklenk in vse osebe, pooblaščene za odstranjevanje ventilov s plinskih jeklenk. Navaja postopke za varno odstranitev ventilov z jeklenk in vključuje tehnike za identifikacijo neuporabnih ventilov. Obravnava samo tveganja zaradi plina in plinskih mešanic pod tlakom; ne zajema drugih tehničnih vprašanj v zvezi z odstranitvijo ventila z jeklenke.
V nekaterih sektorjih industrije plina uporabljajo posebno opremo in postopke, s katerimi varno odstranijo ventile z jeklenk z nizkotlačnimi plini, ki so pod pritiskom, na primer utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP); te tehnike niso vključene v ta mednarodni standard.

ISO 25760:2009(E) iv © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 25760 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 4, Operational requirements for gas cylinders and is based on EIGA Document 129/05 Pressure receptacles with blocked or inoperable valves. EIGA has granted permission to reproduce excerpts from their document. SIST EN ISO 25760:2015

ISO 25760:2009(E) © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved vIntroduction Cylinders are devalved for many purposes, such as periodic inspection and testing, cylinder cleaning, change of service, replacement of a damaged valve, installation of a new valve, preparation for filling or scrapping. Occasionally, gas cylinder valves can become blocked by corrosion or foreign material or become inoperable due to external or internal damage. It is an essential safety requirement that such valved cylinders be identified and treated with special care as soon as practicable. The operation of removing a valve should only be carried out if the cylinder is made safe with respect to residual gas and pressure. It is recommended that gas suppliers be prepared with both the proper equipment and trained operators for dealing with such valved cylinders. Practical techniques that have been tried and tested over many years within the gas industry are described. Valve removal activities can pose hazards to the life and physical safety of the operator, especially if the cylinder is under pressure. Valves should only be removed after ensuring there is no residual pressure in the cylinder.
