Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstungsteile - Sicherheitsventile für ortsbewegliche, wiederbefüllbare Flaschen für Flüssiggas (LPG)
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Konstruktion, Herstellung, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung von handelsüblichen, federbelasteten Sicherheitsventilen fest, die in Flüssiggas-Flaschen eingebaut werden.
Diese Ventile können entweder ein integraler Bestandteil des Flaschenventils (siehe EN 13152 und EN 13153) oder eine eigenständige Einrichtung sein.
Diese Europäische Norm schließt die Verwendung anderer Konstruktionen von Sicherheitsventilen nicht aus, wenn ein vergleichbares Sicherheitsniveau sichergestellt ist.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies the design, testing and marking requirements for spring loaded pressure relief valves, for use in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. These valves can be either an integral part of a cylinder valve (see EN 13152 and EN 13153) or a separate device. This European Standard does not exclude the use of other designs of pressure relief devices that provide a similar level of safety. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

The main components are propane, propene, butane and butene isomers 3.1.2 pressure relief valve valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the fluid concerned, discharges a quantity of fluid so as to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and which is designed to re-close and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal pressure conditions of service have been restored. The loading due to the fluid pressure underneath the valve-sealing element is opposed by a spring SIST EN 13953:2003+A1:2007

NOTE 2 All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise specified. 3.1.3.1 nominal set pressure predetermined pressure of the pressure relief valve at which the valve is set to start to discharge 3.1.3.2 start to discharge pressure inlet pressure at which the first of a stream of bubbles appears at the outlet of a pressure relief valve through a water seal of not more than 50 mm water column, or other equivalent method 3.1.3.3 pop action rapid opening of the valve sealing element to achieve full lift, resulting from an increase of inlet pressure creating a sudden increase in force and compression of the spring 3.1.3.4 overpressure pressure range between the nominal set pressure and the flow rating pressure
3.1.3.5 re-seat pressure inlet pressure at which the sealing element effects a seal with the valve seat after the valve has been subjected to pop action 3.1.3.6 flow rating pressure inlet pressure at which the discharge capacity is measured
3.1.4 nominal discharge capacity minimum discharge capacity at the flow rating pressure expressed in cubic metres per minute of free air at STP rounded down to one decimal place 3.1.5 discharge capacity capacity at the flow rating pressure of a pressure relief valve expressed in cubic metres per minute of free air at STP
3.1.6 sealing element non-metallic resilient component which effects the seal by contact with the pressure relief valve seat 3.1.7 valve seat normally raised area of the pressure relief valve body on to which the sealing element effects a seal 3.1.8 cylinder valve valve fitted to transportable refillable LPG cylinders from 0,5 l up to 150 l water capacity intended to convey LPG only 3.1.9 leak tightness resistance to leakage to atmosphere across the valve seat or any other pressure containing component when the valve is closed SIST EN 13953:2003+A1:2007
