Foreword
This document (CR 14473:2002) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 23, "Transportable gas
cylinders", the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This report is an agreed document containing data, information and other material for high porosity masses
(monolithic) for acetylene cylinders which is nor appropriate to an EN or HD but relates to the aims and work of
CEN/TC 23.
This report has not included information and data sheets about non-monolithic porous masses.
Introduction
The information contained in this report was originally proposed as an informative annex to European Standard
EN 1801, "Transportable Gas Cylinders
Filling conditions for single acetylene cylinders" and EN 12755,
"Transportable gas cylinders
Filling conditions for acetylene bundles".
The Technical Committee CEN/TC 23 decided that due to the commercial nature of the information and the
possible difficulties in maintaining an up-to-date standard, the information should be published as a CEN report.
This report has therefore been produced for reference purposes.
1 Scope
This report contains information regarding high porosity masses (monolithic) produced after 1988 and having
received type approval from the competent authorities in the countries of the CEN members. The data is based on
information provided by manufacturers as at 2000-02-29. This list does not claim to be exhaustive
For additional entries to the lists or a change of data, an application has to be made, to the CEN/TC 23 Secretariat
with a copy of the type approval issued by the competent body.
A revision of the report in a two-year period, or after a certain number of new applications for an amendment or
change of data, is envisaged. Any decisions will be taken at a plenary meeting of CEN/TC 23.
NOTE For further information contact the relevant national representative, e.g. for Germany contact Bundesanstalt für
Materialforschung und - prüfung (BAM), D-12200 Berlin (Germany)
2 Data about high porosity masses
The filling conditions for the various high porosity masses for acetylene cylinders and acetylene bundles for the
countries in Europe which are listed below are the result of the type approval of the porous masses made by the
competent authority in the relevant country.
Basis for a new type approval by a competent authority is the European Standard EN 1800 + AC1 "Transportable
gas cylinders - Acetylene cylinders - Basic requirements and definitions".
3 Country abbreviations
Countries approving a particular mass are identified in the list as follows:
AT AUSTRIA GR GREECE
BE BELGIUM HR CROATIA
CH SWITZERLAND IE IRELAND
CZ CZECH REPUBLIC IT ITALY
DE GERMANY IS ICELAND
DK DENMARK LU LUXEMBOURG
ES SPAIN NL NETHERLANDS
FI FINLAND NO NORWAY
FR FRANCE PT PORTUGAL
GB UNITED KINGDOM SE SWEDEN
4 Data sheets for individual acetylene cylinders
Data sheets numbers 1 to 27 for individual acetylene cylinders are listed in table 1.
The countries are ranked alphabetically in accordance with country abbreviation of clause 2.
The data contained in columns 2 to 6 was the basis for the type approval of the mass.
The values for 'weight of acetylene' (kg/I) include the total amount of acetylene, including saturation gas.
The weight of solvent in column 2 is specified weight of solvent (kg/I) of water capacity of the cylinder shell as given
in the approval.
Column 3 lists the maximum weight of acetylene in (kg/I) of water capacity of the cylinder shell when the cylinder is
'empty'.
Data with question mark could not be clarified during the preparation of the technical report and is uncertain data.
