SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2006, an amendment from CEN for transportable gas cylinders made of stainless steel. It updates the design and construction rules for refillable welded steel gas cylinders, with the main technical change in radiographic examination of welds.
What does SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 specify?
SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 specifies changes to the European standard EN 13322-2:2003 for transportable gas cylinders made of stainless steel. In practice, this amendment tells manufacturers and inspectors how the base standard is updated, especially for weld inspection during cylinder production.
The document is organized as a short amendment. It has a foreword and a section called “Details of the amendment”. The technical content focuses on the title correction in the English version and on replacing Table A.1, which covers radiographic examination requirements.
The amendment works together with the base standard EN 13322-2:2003. For buyers, engineers and quality teams, that means the amendment is not a stand-alone design code: it changes specific parts of the original standard and should be read with it.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 13322-2:2007/A1?
The main technical effect of SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 is the revised Table A.1 for radiographic examination. That table sets out how weld inspection is applied depending on cylinder construction and weld type, so production and inspection plans need to match the cylinder design.
Radiographic examination depends on cylinder type
Table A.1 separates cases for 2-piece and 3-piece cylinders. It distinguishes circumferential weld cases with a joggle joint or a butt weld, and it also covers longitudinal welds and bung butt weld cases. In practice, this means the inspection method is not one-size-fits-all: the weld geometry drives the sampling or coverage level.
Inspection frequency is tied to production conditions
The table gives different control frequencies for the start and end of a shift period, for each machine, and for a percentage of cylinders in some cases. That matters for production because the quality plan has to show when cylinders are taken off the line for X-ray inspection, not just which weld is checked.
The inspection zone is defined by weld type
For some cylinder types, the zone of inspection is the overlapping part of the circumferential weld; for others, the zone is shown in Figure B.1. In practice, the radiographic set-up must cover the weld area that the standard identifies, otherwise the check is not aimed at the right part of the joint.
Continuous production has a specific control note
The note under Table A.1 allows the examination rate to be limited in continuous production, but it also requires a new examination when welding machines or machine parameters are adjusted. For manufacturers, this means process changes trigger renewed verification, not just routine sampling.
The amendment also corrects the English title
The details of the amendment correct the English spelling of “refillable” in the title. While that is editorial, it matters for controlled documents, labeling of standards lists and internal document management.
What terms does SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 define?
- Transportable gas cylinders - gas containers intended to be moved and used outside a fixed installation.
- Refillable welded steel gas cylinders - steel cylinders made by welding and designed to be filled again after use.
- Stainless steel - the material focus of Part 2, used where corrosion resistance is needed.
- Radiographic examination - an inspection method using X-rays or gamma rays to check weld quality without cutting the cylinder.
- Circumferential weld - a weld that goes around the cylinder body.
- Longitudinal weld - a weld that runs along the length of the cylinder.
- Joggle joint - a joint form used in some two-piece or three-piece cylinder constructions.
- Bung butt weld - the weld used to join the bung area in the cylinder.
Who uses SIST EN 13322-2:2007/A1?
SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 is used by gas cylinder manufacturers, welding engineers, inspection staff and quality managers. They use it to set up radiographic inspection plans, choose the correct examination frequency, and document weld control for stainless steel cylinders.
It is also relevant to conformity assessment bodies and buyers who need to verify that stainless steel gas cylinders are built and inspected under the updated European requirements.
What changed in SIST EN 13322-2:2007/A1 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 13322-2:2003/A1:2007 modifies EN 13322-2:2003. The amendment corrects the English title spelling and replaces Table A.1 with updated radiographic examination requirements for different cylinder and weld configurations.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 13322-2:2007/A1?
- EN 13322-2:2003 - the base European standard for refillable welded steel gas cylinders, which this amendment updates.
What does the SIST EN 13322-2:2007/A1 document contain?
The document contains a foreword and a “Details of the amendment” section. Its technical content is centered on Table A.1, which links cylinder type, weld type, control frequency and inspection zone for radiographic examination.
It also refers to Figure B.1 for some inspection zones, so the amended standard still depends on visual and procedural detail from the underlying document. For production teams, that means the amendment is used to plan inspection coverage and shift-based checks, not to redesign the cylinder itself.
