Gaseous hydrogen - Cylinders and tubes for stationary storage

This document specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture and testing of cylinders, tubes and other pressure vessels of steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys or of non-metallic construction material. These are intended for the stationary storage of gaseous hydrogen of up to a maximum water capacity of 10 000 l and a maximum allowable working pressure not exceeding 1 100 bar, of seamless metallic construction (Type 1) or of composite construction (Types 2, 3 and 4), hereafter referred to as pressure vessels.
NOTE   Additional requirements with regard to assemblies (manifolded cylinders and tubes and other pressure vessels) are not covered by this document.
This document is not applicable to Type 2 and 3 vessels with welded liners.
This document is not applicable to pressure vessels used for solid, liquid hydrogen or hybrid cryogenic-high pressure hydrogen storage applications.
This document is not applicable to external piping which can be designed according to recognized standards.

Hydrogène gazeux - Bouteilles et tubes pour stockage stationnaire

Le présent document spécifie les exigences en matière de conception, de fabrication et d’essai des bouteilles, tubes et autres récipients sous pression, en acier, acier inoxydable, alliages d’aluminium ou matériaux de construction non métalliques. Ces récipients sont destinés au stockage stationnaire de l’hydrogène gazeux jusqu’à une capacité maximale en eau de 10 000 l et une pression de service maximale admissible inférieure ou égale à 1 100 bar, de construction métallique sans soudure (Type 1) ou de construction composite (Type 2, Type 3 et Type 4), et sont appelés « récipients sous pression » dans la suite du document.
NOTE   Le présent document ne couvre pas les exigences supplémentaires relatives aux assemblages (bouteilles et tubes reliés entre eux par une rampe et autres récipients sous pression).
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux récipients de Type 2 et de Type 3 avec liner soudé.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux récipients sous pression utilisés pour le stockage de l’hydrogène solide, de l’hydrogène liquide ou les applications hybrides de stockage cryogénique à haute pression de l’hydrogène.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux tuyauteries extérieures qui peuvent être conçues conformément à des normes reconnues.
