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.

4 Design and specification
4.1 General
4.1.1 The valve shall be capable of withstanding:
⎯ operating pressures and test pressures;
⎯ mechanical stresses, including dynamic loads such as pressure shocks or cyclic changes;
⎯ operating temperatures.
NOTE Pressures are gauged unless otherwise specified.
4.1.2 There shall be valve external and internal leak tightness for the full range of pressure and temperature
conditions.
4.1.3 The specific requirements relating to the functions, mechanical strength, pressure, operating
temperatures, external and internal leak tightness of the valve and its components, are detailed in the
following subclauses of this clause and/or in the relevant test of Clause 5.
4.2 Materials
4.2.1 General
Materials in contact with LPG shall be physically and chemically compatible with LPG under all operating
conditions for which the valve is designed (see ISO 11114-1 and ISO 11114-2).
In selecting an appropriate material for valve components, it is important to select not only for adequate
strength in service, but also to give consideration to other modes of failure due to atmospheric corrosion,
brass dezincification, stress corrosion, shock loads, and material failure.
4.2.2 Operating temperatures
Materials used shall be suitable for the temperatures for which the valve is designed.
The minimum operating temperature to which the valve is expected to be exposed during normal use is minus
20 °C. In service, temperatures below this may be encountered during short periods, for example, during filling.
Where necessary, e.g. in some countries and for certain applications, lower minimum operating temperatures
shall be used. When equipment is designed for a temperature of minus 40 °C, it shall also meet the
requirements of Annex D.
The maximum operating temperature to which the valve is expected to be exposed during normal operation is
65 °C. In service, this temperature may be exceeded for short periods.
4.2.3 Copper alloys
Valve bodies made from copper alloys shall be manufactured from materials in accordance with recognized
standards, e.g. EN 12164 and EN 12165, or from alloys of equivalent properties and standards.
4.2.4 Non-metallic materials
Non-metallic materials in contact with LPG shall be compatible with LPG, e.g. ISO 11114-2. They shall not
distort, harden or adhere to the body or seat face to such an extent as to impair the function of the valve.
4 © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 15995:2010
ISO 15995:2006(E)
In accordance with national or international standards, for example EN 549, non-metallic materials in contact
with LPG shall meet the requirements for resistance to:
⎯ gas (pentane test);
⎯ lubricants;
⎯ ageing;
⎯ low temperature;
⎯ high temperature;
⎯ compression;
⎯ ozone (where the material is exposed to the atmosphere).
4.3 Essential components
4.3.1 Valve operating mechanism
The valve operating mechanism normally includes a hand wheel.
The valve operating mechanism shall be designed in such a way that it remains captive and achieves direct
contact with the valve body in the absence of the sealing element, in order to limit the leakage rate of gas.
Under normal use, the valve shall operate without difficulty even after prolonged use and shall satisfy the
requirements of 5.17.
The operating mechanism shall withstand an opening and closing torque in accordance with 5.12 and 5.13.
When a torque is applied in excess of that given in 5.12 and 5.13 the operating mechanism shall not
disassemble from the valve body and create a leak. However, the operating mechanism may break or become
inoperable. The material of the valve operating mechanism shall withstand fire engulfment such that the valve
can still be closed during the early stage of an incident, and shall satisfy the requirements of 5.9.
The sealing element, to ensure internal leak tightness, shall be attached or otherwise assembled such that it
will not become dislocated under service conditions. The means to secure the sealing element shall not rely
only on cement or adhesive.
All valves shall close when turned clockwise and open when turned anti-clockwise. It is recommended that the
valve operating mechanism should be visibly marked with a portion of circle terminating by two arrows. One
arrow marked “–“(closure) and the other arrow marked “+”(opening) to indicate the result of the rotation (see
Figure 1).

Figure 1 — Hand wheel marking
4.3.2 Valve body
If the valve body is made of more than one part, precautions shall be taken to ensure that there can be no
unintentional dismantling. Disassembly shall require specialized equipment.

---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 15995:2010
ISO 15995:2006(E)
4.3.3 Sealing mechanism
The sealing mechanism shall ensure internal leak tightness.
4.3.4 Valve stem
The connection between the valve and the LPG cylinder shall be a threaded sealing system in accordance with
ISO 10920, ISO 11116-1 or any other connection system that provides an equivalent level of safety.
The design of the valve stem shall prevent leakage, loosening in service, and meet the requirements of 5.7.
The valve stem shall withstand the torque identified in Table 3, without causing such damage as to affect
performance, operating mechanism, internal tightness and external tightness. However, it should be noted
that such torque values should not be used for normal operational application.
4.3.5 Valve outlet
Valve outlets should conform to a standard such as ISO 5145, EN 12864, or any other connection system that
provides an equivalent level of safety.
In the case of a vapour/liquid dual valve, the following requirements shall apply:
⎯ The valve shall have separate vapour and liquid outlet connections. The wall thickness between the
passageways through the valve body shall not be less than 1 mm.
⎯ The liquid outlet shall be a different design from that of the vapour outlet. Valves with liquid and vapour
outlets shall have clear identification to distinguish between them, such as different connection geometry
and/or marking the outlet connections.
⎯ It shall not be possible to obtain a flow from the liquid outlet before a leak tight connection has been made.
4.3.6 Excess flow device (flow limiter)
Valves with passageways of cross-sectional area equivalent to or greater than a 3 mm diameter hole for liquid,
or an 8 mm diameter hole for vapour, shall be protected by an excess flow device (see 4.4.4).
4.4 Optional components
4.4.1 Pressure relief valve
A pressure relief valve shall be designed to operate in the vapour phase. Pressure relief valves for LPG
cylinders shall fulfil the requirements of a regional or national standard, e.g. EN 13953.
4.4.2 Eduction tube
The eduction tube shall be securely fitted to the valve to ensure that it does not dismantle during operation, for
example using adhesive, press fitting or any other mechanical means.
When a valve with an eduction tube is fitted to a cylinder, its presence and orientation should be clearly
identified.
4.4.3 Fixed liquid level gauge
Fixed level gauges that operate by means of temporarily venting a limited quantity of LPG whereupon the
change from vapour to liquid is detected, shall meet the following requirements:
6 © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 18 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 15995:2010
ISO 15995:2006(E)
⎯ The cross-section of the passage way through the gauge body shall at some point be limited to an area
equivalent to or less than a 1,5 mm diameter hole.
⎯ The orifice shall be controlled by a vent screw.
⎯ The vent screw shall remain captive, or be permanently attached
