Gas cylinders — Refillable welded steel cylinders containing materials for sub-atmospheric gas packaging (excluding acetylene) — Design, construction, testing, use and periodic inspection

This document specifies minimum requirements for the material, design, construction, workmanship, examination and testing at manufacture of refillable welded steel cylinders for the sub-atmospheric pressure storage of liquefied and compressed gases. It only applies to the cylinders themselves, irrespective of the materials contained therein (e.g. adsorbents, media, materials and/or gases) and other related applications. The cylinders have a test pressure not greater than 42 bar and a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 12 l exposed to ambient temperatures for the purpose of facilitating the sub‑atmospheric pressure storage of liquefied and compressed gases as adsorbed gases. Minimum requirements for inspection at the time of fill and periodic inspection and testing are also specified.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

packing instruction P208 as this document is referenced in only P208 of the UN Model Regulations;
— the prohibition on the use of ultrasonic testing during periodic inspection and test has been removed
from Annex B;

Introduction
This document provides a specification for the design, manufacture, use and periodic inspection and
testing of a welded steel cylinder necessary to facilitate sub-atmospheric pressure gas packaging
technology on a worldwide basis. The specifications given are based on knowledge of, and experience
with, materials, design requirements, manufacturing processes and control at manufacture of cylinders
in common use in the countries of the ISO member bodies.
The pressure shell of the cylinder is fabricated by manufacturing a cylindrical shape with a base and
welding a machined plug (boss) or semi-ellipsoidal or torispherical shape onto the open end of the shell
to form the cylinder. This method of fabrication allows for insertion of material prior to sealing the
cylinder.
A further objective of this document is to balance design and economic efficiency against international
acceptance and universal utility. It aims to eliminate the concerns about climate, duplicate inspections
and restrictions currently existing because of lack of definitive International Standards.

This standard has been written so that it is suitable to be referenced in the UN Model Regulations .
