LPG equipment and accessories - Sealing caps and plugs for LPG cylinder and pressure vessel valves - Specification and testing

This document specifies the design, testing and marking requirements for caps and plugs used to form a pressure tight seal with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder valves and pressure vessel valves. Sealing caps and plugs provide an additional seal for self-closing and manually operated valves.
Dust caps or plugs and tamper evident seals that do not form an additional seal as part of their design are excluded from the scope of this document.
Cylinder valve caps and plugs may be used with valves for liquid and vapour manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 14245 and EN ISO 15995.
Pressure vessel valve caps and plugs may be used with valves for liquid and vapour manufactured in accordance with EN 13175. Occasional liquid withdrawal valve caps and plugs are excluded from the scope of this document.
Reusable and single use sealing caps and plugs are included in this document.
This document does not exclude the use of other designs that provide an equivalent level of safety.
NOTE   The term “pressure vessel” does not include LPG tank vehicles, also called “road tankers”, in CEN/TC 286 standards.

Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstungsteile - Dichtkappen und Dichtstopfen für Flaschen und Behälter für Flüssiggas (LPG) - Spezifikation und Prüfungen

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Auslegung, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung von Kappen und Stopfen fest, die zur Herstellung einer druckdichten Abdichtung für Ventile für Gasflaschen und Druckbehälter für Flüssiggas (LPG, en: Liquefied Petroleum Gas) verwendet werden. Dichtkappen und Dichtstopfen stellen eine zusätzliche Abdichtung für selbstschließende und handbetätigte Ventile sicher.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Schmutzkappen oder  stopfen und Originalverschlüsse, bei denen die Herstellung einer zusätzlichen Abdichtung nicht Bestandteil ihrer Auslegung ist.
Flaschenventilkappen und  stopfen können für nach EN ISO 14245 und EN ISO 15995 hergestellte Ventile für die Flüssigphase und Gasphase verwendet werden.
Druckbehälterventilkappen und  stopfen können für nach EN 13175 hergestellte Ventile für die Flüssigphase und Gasphase verwendet werden. Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Kappen und Stopfen für Ventile für die gelegentliche Entnahme aus der Flüssigphase.
Dieses Dokument gilt für wiederverwendbare Einwegdichtkappen und  dichtstopfen.
Dieses Dokument schließt die Verwendung anderer Auslegungen, die ein gleichwertiges Sicherheitsniveau sicherstellen, nicht aus.
ANMERKUNG   Der Begriff "Druckbehälter" umfasst keine LPG-Tankfahrzeuge, in Normen des CEN/TC 286 auch "Straßentankwagen" genannt.

Équipements pour GPL et leurs accessoires - Bouchons et obturateurs d'étanchéité pour robinets de bouteilles et vannes de réservoirs sous pression - Spécifications et essais

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de conception, d'essai et de marquage applicables aux bouchons et obturateurs utilisés pour former un joint étanche à la pression au niveau des robinets de bouteilles et des vannes de réservoirs sous pression de gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL). Les bouchons et obturateurs d'étanchéité assurent une étanchéité supplémentaire sur les robinets et vannes à fermeture automatique et manuelle.
Les bouchons et obturateurs anti-poussière et les garanties d'inviolabilité qui, de par leur conception, ne sont pas étanches n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application du présent document.
Les bouchons et obturateurs des robinets de bouteilles peuvent être utilisés avec des robinets pour liquides et gaz fabriqués conformément à l'EN ISO 14245 et à l'EN ISO 15995.
Les bouchons et obturateurs des vannes de réservoirs sous pression peuvent être utilisés avec des vannes pour liquides et gaz fabriquées conformément à l'EN 13175. Le présent document ne traite pas des bouchons et obturateurs des clapets de reprise liquide.
Le présent document couvre à la fois les bouchons et obturateurs d'étanchéité réutilisables et à usage unique.
Le présent document n'exclut pas l'utilisation d'autres conceptions assurant un niveau de sécurité équivalent.
NOTE   Le terme « réservoir sous pression » n'inclut pas les véhicules-citernes pour GPL, également appelés « camions-citernes » dans les normes du CEN/TC 286.

European foreword

This document (prEN 16119:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “LPG

equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16119:2013.

Introduction

This document calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the

environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not

absolve the user from legal obligations at any stage.

Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. Protection of the

environment is taken in a very broad sense. What is meant is the total life cycle aspects of, e.g. a product

on the environment, including expenditure of energy and during all phases from mining of raw materials,

fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc.

NOTE Annex C indicates the clauses in this document that address environmental issues.

Provisions need to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws.

It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance, see

the EN ISO 14000 series.

It has been assumed in the drafting of this document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to

appropriately qualified and experienced people.
All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.

This document requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such

measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment etc. It

may be beneficial to refer to the leaflet 'Measurement uncertainty leaflet SP INFO 2000 27' [3].

1 Scope

This document specifies the design, testing and marking requirements for caps and plugs used to form a

pressure tight seal with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder valves and pressure vessel valves. Sealing

caps and plugs provide an additional seal for self-closing and manually operated valves.

Dust caps or plugs and tamper evident seals that do not form an additional seal as part of their design are

excluded from the scope of this document.

Cylinder valve caps and plugs can be used with valves for liquid and vapour manufactured in accordance

with EN ISO 14245 and EN ISO 15995.

Pressure vessel valve caps and plugs can be used with valves for liquid and vapour manufactured in

accordance with EN 13175. Occasional liquid withdrawal valve caps and plugs are excluded from the

scope of this document.
Reusable and single use sealing caps and plugs are included in this document.

This document does not exclude the use of other designs that provide an equivalent level of safety.

NOTE The term “pressure vessel” does not include LPG tank vehicles, also called “road tankers”, in CEN/TC 286

standards.
