Gas cylinders - Acetylene cylinder bundles - Filling conditions and filling inspection (ISO 13088:2011)
This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the filling conditions and filling inspection of acetylene cylinder bundles. It applies both to bundles which are filled while the cylinders are assembled in the bundle and to bundles of which the cylinders are filled as individual cylinders and are assembled into a bundle after filling. It does not apply to bundles containing solvent-free acetylene cylinders. This International Standard is not applicable to individual acetylene cylinders that are not intended to be assembled into a bundle (see ISO 11372).
Gasflaschen - Flaschenbündel für Acetylen - Füllbedingungen und Inspektion beim Füllen (ISO 13088:2011)
Diese Internationale Norm legt die Mindestanforderungen für die Füllbedingungen und die Inspektion beim Füllen von Acetylenflaschenbündeln fest. Sie gilt sowohl für Bündel, welche gefüllt werden während die Flaschen im Bündel eingebaut sind als auch für Bündel, bei denen die Flaschen als Einzelflaschen gefüllt und nach dem Füllen in ein Bündel eingebaut werden. Sie gilt nicht für Bündel, die lösemittelfreie Acetylenflaschen enthalten. Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für einzelne Acetylenflaschen, die nicht für den Einbau in ein Bündel vorgesehen sind (siehe ISO 11372).
Bouteilles à gaz - Cadres de bouteilles d'acétylène - Conditions de remplissage et contrôle de remplissage (ISO 13088:2011)
L'ISO 13088:2011 spécifie les exigences minimales relatives aux conditions de remplissage et au contrôle au remplissage des cadres de bouteilles d'acétylène. Elle s'applique et aux cadres dont les bouteilles sont remplies quand elles sont placées dans le cadre, et aux cadres dont les bouteilles sont remplies individuellement puis placées dans le cadre après remplissage. Elle ne s'applique pas aux cadres contenant des bouteilles d'acétylène sans solvant.
L'ISO 13088:2011 ne s'applique pas aux bouteilles d'acétylène individuelles qui ne sont pas destinées à être montées dans un cadre (voir l'ISO 11372).
Plinske jeklenke - Snopi jeklenk za acetilen - Pogoji in kontrola polnjenja (ISO 13088:2011)
Ta mednarodni standard določa minimalne zahteve za pogoje in kontrolo polnjenja snopov jeklenk za acetilen. Velja za snope, ki se polnijo med sestavljanjem jeklenk v snop, in za snope, v katerih se jeklenke polnijo posamično in so sestavljene v snop po polnjenju. Ne velja za snope, ki vsebujejo jeklenke za acetilen brez topila. Ta mednarodni standard ne velja za posamezne jeklenke za acetilen, ki niso namenjene za sestavljanje v snope (glejte ISO 11372).

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.

Introduction
This International Standard aims at the harmonization of the different operating and filling conditions of
acetylene cylinder bundles and covers requirements that reflect current practice and experience regarding
inspection at the time of filling.
Where there is any conflict between this International Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation
always takes precedence.
In International Standards, weight is equivalent to a force, expressed in newtons. However, in common
parlance (as used in terms defined in this International Standard), the word “weight” continues to be used to
mean “mass”, but this practice is deprecated (see ISO 80000-4).
In this International Standard the unit bar is used, due to its universal use in the field of technical gases. It
should, however, be noted that bar is not an SI unit, and that the according SI unit for pressure is pascal (Pa).
Pressure values given in this International Standard are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding
atmospheric pressure) unless noted otherwise.

3.16
working pressure
acetylene cylinders settled pressure at a uniform reference temperature of 15 °C in a cylinder containing the
specified solvent content and the maximum acetylene content
NOTE It is equal to the working pressure which is stamped on the individual cylinder.
4 Basic requirements for acetylene cylinder bundles
4.1 General
Acetylene cylinders in accordance with ISO 3807 or an equivalent applicable regulation/standard may be filled
simultaneously without dismantling the bundle, provided that the conditions of this standard are fulfilled.
Acetylene cylinders in a bundle shall have the same nominal dimensions, nominal water capacity, solvent and
working pressure. Only one porous material shall be used (covered by one type approval).
This clause and Annex A apply to bundles which are filled while the cylinders are assembled in the bundle.
Clause 7 applies to bundles of which the cylinders are individually filled and then assembled into a bundle.
4.2 Filling conditions
4.2.1 Maximum acetylene content
The maximum acetylene content for cylinders in a bundle is specified by the manufacturer and is lower than
that of individual cylinders to allow for a solvent operating range.
NOTE Often the acetylene content in acetylene cylinder bundles is 90 % of that of its individual cylinders. However,
other values for the maximum acetylene content of cylinders in a bundle can be used. As a result, different values for the
maximum and minimum solvent content and the maximum number of consecutive fillings have to be applied (see 4.2.2,
4.2.3 and Annex A).
4.2.2 Solvent content
The maximum and minimum solvent content are a function of the amount of the reduced maximum acetylene
content to be used in the bundle (see 4.2.1) and the filling conditions for the individual acetylene cylinder and
shall be derived in accordance with Annex A.
NOTE The result of the calculations is used for initially fixing tare BA and tare BA (when tare A is used) or tare
min max
BS and tare BS (when tare S is used). These calculations do not have to be carried out for every filling of the bundle.
min max
4.2.3 Maximum number of consecutive fillings
The maximum number of consecutive fillings before the bundle has to be dismantled and the cylinders have to
be checked individually and replenished with solvent is a function of the solvent operating range and shall be
derived in accordance with Annex A.
NOTE In practice, the number of times that a bundle with acetone as solvent may be filled without dismantling
generally does not exceed 6 when derived in accordance with Annex A.
In the case of a bundle with DMF as solvent, the need to dismantle the bundle to replenish the solvent usually
coincides with the periodic inspection of the cylinders for this bundle. The number of fills before the bundle is
dismantled shall not exceed 100.
