Gas cylinders - High pressure cylinders for the on-board storage of natural gas as a fuel for automotive vehicles (ISO 11439:2013)

This International Standard specifies minimum requirements for light-weight refillable gas cylinders intended only for the on-board storage of high pressure compressed natural gas as a fuel for automotive vehicles to which the cylinders are to be fixed. The service conditions do not cover external loadings that can arise from vehicle collisions, etc. This International Standard covers cylinders of any seamless steel, seamless aluminium alloy or nonmetallic material construction, using any design or method of manufacture suitable for the specified service conditions. This International Standard does not cover cylinders of stainless steel. Although this standard uses 200 bar as a reference working pressure, other working pressures can be used. Cylinders covered by this International Standard are designated Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4.

Gasflaschen - Hochdruck-Flaschen für die fahrzeuginterne Speicherung von Erdgas als Treibstoff für Kraftfahrzeuge (ISO 11439:2013)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Mindestanforderungen für serienmäßig produzierte wiederbefüllbare Gasflaschen in Leichtbauweise fest. Diese Flaschen sind ausschließlich für die Mitführung von unter hohem Druck verdichtetem Erdgas als Treibstoff für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit denen sie fest verbunden sind, bestimmt. Die Betriebsbedingungen berücksichtigen keine äußeren Belastungen, die als Folge von Fahrzeugzusammen-stößen usw. resultieren können.
Diese Internationale Norm deckt Flaschen beliebiger Konstruktion aus Stahl, Aluminium oder nicht¬metallischen Werkstoffen ab, die nach einer beliebigen Auslegung oder Herstellungsmethode gefertigt sind, die für die festgelegten Betriebsbedingungen geeignet ist. Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für Flaschen aus Edelstahl oder geschweißte Flaschenkonstruktionen. Obwohl diese Norm einen Betriebsdruck von 200 bar als Bezugsdruck verwendet, können andere Betriebsdrücke verwendet werden.
Die von dieser Internationale Norm erfassten Flaschen werden folgendermaßen bezeichnet:
Typ 1 -   metallische Flasche
Typ 2 -   metallischer Liner mit Verbund-Verstärkung ausschließlich im zylindrischen Bereich (umfangs-umwickelte Flasche)
Typ 3 -   metallischer Liner mit Belastungsverteilung mit Verbund-Verstärkung im zylindrischen Bereich und in den Enden (vollumwickelte Flasche)
Typ 4 -   nichtmetallischer Liner ohne Belastungsverteilung oder Flasche ohne Liner mit Verbund-Verstärkung im zylindrischen Bereich und in den Enden (vollumwickelte Flasche)
ANMERKUNG   Flaschenauslegungen in Übereinstimmung mit ISO 9809-1, ISO 9809-2, ISO 9809-3 und ISO 7866 können für den Fahrzeugbetrieb verwendet werden, vorausgesetzt, dass diese Auslegungen die in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten zusätzlichen Anforderungen erfüllen.

Bouteilles à gaz - Bouteilles haute pression pour le stockage de gaz naturel utilisé comme carburant à bord des véhicules automobiles (ISO 11439:2013)

L'ISO 11439:2013 spécifie les exigences minimales concernant les bouteilles à gaz rechargeables, légères, conçues uniquement pour le stockage de gaz naturel comprimé haute pression, utilisé comme carburant à bord des véhicules automobiles sur lesquels elles sont montées. Les conditions de services ne couvrent pas les charges externes que peuvent provoquer des collisions entre véhicules, etc.
L'ISO 11439:2013 couvre les bouteilles fabriquées en n'importe quel type d'acier sans soudure, d'alliage d'aluminium sans soudure ou de matériau non métallique, de tout type de conception ou méthode de fabrication approprié aux conditions d'utilisation spécifiées. Elle ne couvre pas les bouteilles en acier inoxydable. Bien que la présente Norme internationale utilise une pression de service de référence de 200 bar, d'autres pressions de service peuvent être utilisées.
Les bouteilles couvertes par l'ISO 11439:2013 sont désignées par Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 et Type 4.

Plinske jeklenke - Visokotlačne jeklenke za zemeljski plin za pogon motornih vozil, vgrajene na vozilo (ISO 11439:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard določa minimalne zahteve za lahke ponovno polnljive plinske jeklenke, obvezno vgrajene v vozilo, za visokotlačni stisnjeni zemeljski plin kot gorivo za avtomobilska vozila, v katera se namestijo jeklenke. Pogoji obratovanja ne zajemajo zunanjih obremenitev, ki lahko nastanejo zaradi trka vozil itd. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava jeklenke kakršne koli izdelave iz jekla, aluminijeve zlitine ali nekovinskega materiala, z uporabo kakršnega koli konstruiranja ali metode proizvodnje, primerne za navedene pogoje obratovanja. Ta mednarodni standard ne zajema jeklenk iz nerjavnega jekla. Čeprav je v tem standardu referenčni delovni tlak 200 barov, je mogoče uporabiti tudi druge delovne tlake. Jeklenke iz tega mednarodnega standarda so označene kot tip 1, tip 2, tip 3 in tip 4.

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.
ISO 11439 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 3,
Cylinder design.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11439:2000), which has been technically
revised. In addition to editorial improvements, the principal technical difference between the first and
second editions is the clarification and alteration of the “Change of Design” requirements for the various
cylinder types.

Introduction
Cylinders for the on-board storage of fuel for natural gas vehicle service are required to be light-weight, at
the same time maintaining or improving on the level of safety currently existing for other pressure vessels.
Owners or users of cylinders designed to this International Standard should note that the cylinders are
designed to operate safely if used in accordance with specified service conditions for a specified finite
service life only. The expiry date is marked on each cylinder and it is the responsibility of owners and
users to ensure that cylinders are not used after that date, and that they are inspected in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Users of this International Standard are encouraged to consider the environmental impacts associated
with performing certain tests.
