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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
This document covers the function of a self-closing cylinder valve as a closure (defined by the UN Model
Regulations). Additional features of self-closing cylinder valves (e.g. pressure relief devices) might be
covered by other standards and/or regulations.
Self-closing cylinder valves conforming to this document can be expected to perform satisfactorily
under normal service conditions.
This document pays particular attention to:
a) suitability of materials;
b) safety (mechanical strength, impact strength, endurance, leak tightness, resistance to ignition,
resistance to acetylene flashback);
c) testing;
d) marking;
e) manufacturing tests and examinations.
In this document, 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 corresponding SI unit for pressure is Pa
5 5 2
(1 bar = 10 Pa = 10 N/m ).
Pressure values in this document are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric
pressure) unless noted otherwise.

5 Valve design requirements
5.1 General
Valves shall operate within specification and be leak tight over a range of service temperatures, from at
least −20 °C to +65 °C in indoor and outdoor environments.
Closed valves shall be internally leak tight during transport and storage (see test 4 in Table 2) for
temperatures down to −40 °C.
Where higher or lower service temperatures are required, any additional requirements and tests shall
be agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser.
5.2 Materials
Metallic and non-metallic materials in contact with the gas shall be chemically and physically compatible
with the gas, in accordance with ISO 11114-1 and ISO 11114-2, under all intended operating conditions.
For valves used for dissolved gases, the compatibility of the materials in contact with the solvent shall
also be considered. For valves used with gas mixtures, the compatibility of the gas wetted materials
with each component of the gas mixture shall be considered.
Copper alloys in contact with oxygen or other oxidizing gases or gas mixtures shall have a maximum
aluminium content of no more than 2,5 %.
4 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 17879:2018
ISO 17879:2017(E)
When using plated or coated components in gas wetted areas, the material compatibility of both
the plating/coating material and the substrate material shall be taken into account. In addition,
consideration should be given to avoid flaking or particle generation, especially for oxygen, other
oxidizing gases (as defined in ISO 10156) and gas mixtures containing oxygen or other oxidizing gases.
The material used for the valve body shall be of either:
a) a material not showing a ductile to brittle transition (e.g. copper alloys, austenitic stainless steels,
aluminium alloys and nickel alloys), or;
b) a ferritic material (e.g. carbon steel) having an impact value greater than 27 J at −40 °C when
submitted to the Charpy pendulum impact test as specified in ISO 148-1.
The ignition resistance of non-metallic materials, lubricants and adhesives used in the gas wetted
area of valves requiring oxygen pressure surge testing (see 5.7) should be considered (e.g. using an
appropriate test procedure such as ISO 11114-3 for auto ignition temperature (AIT) testing and
ISO 21010:2014, Annex C for oxygen pressure surge testing of materials). Non-metallic materials used
in oxygen wetted areas should have an AIT of at least 100 °C above the maximum service temperature
of the valve, tested at a pressure of at least 100 bar (see ISO 15001 or ASTM G63).
Lubricants used in the gas wetted area of valves for gases requiring oxygen pressure surge testing (see
5.7) shall either:
1) be rated for:
— at least p in cases of single gases, or;
vt
— a pressure not less than the corresponding oxygen partial pressure in case of gas mixtures
containing other oxidizing gases than air with a partial pressure greater than 30 bar, or;
NOTE This rated pressure is the maximum pressure at which the lubricant passed the oxygen pressure
surge test described in ISO 21010:2014, Annex C.
2) be permitted only if the corresponding valve passes the oxygen pressure surge test after being pre-
conditioned via the endurance cycling procedure but without subsequent leak tightness tests and
final visual examination being performed.
For medical and breathing applications, ISO 15001 should be considered, especially when selecting
materials to reduce the risk of toxic products of combustion/decomposition from non-metallic materials
including lubricants.
5.3 Valve connections
Valve inlet and outlet connections shall conform to the requirements of an International Standard,
other regional or national standards or proprietary designs that have been qualified to an acceptable
industry standard.
NOTE 1 International valve inlet connection standards are, for example, ISO 11363-1 and ISO 15245-1.
NOTE 2 International valve outlet connection standards are, for example, ISO 5145 and ISO 10692-1. A partial
compilation of regional and national standards is given in ISO/TR 7470.
NOTE 3 Qualification procedures for proprietary valve inlet connection designs are, for example, given in
ISO 10692-2.
NOTE 4 Qualification procedures for proprietary valve outlet connection designs are, for example, given in
CGA V-1.
If the valve filling connection is separate to the valve outlet connection and not equipped with a non-
return valve or isolating valve, it shall be provided with a pressure-tight device (e.g. a plug or cap which
can be operated or removed only by the use of a special tool). Where applicable, such a pressure-tight
device shall be designed to vent gas before becoming disengaged.
