For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1964-1, Transportable gas cylinders — Specification for the design and construction of refillable transportable seamless steel gas cylinders of water capacities from 0,5 litre up to and including 150 litres — Part 1: Cylinders made from seamless steel with an Rm value of less than 1 100 MPa EN 1975, Transportable gas cylinders — Specification for the design and construction of refillable transportable seamless aluminium and aluminium alloy gas cylinders of capacity from 0,5 litre up to 150 litres EN 13322-1, Transportable gas cylinders — Refillable welded steel gas cylinders — Design and construction — Part 1: Carbon steel EN ISO 10297, Transportable gas cylinders — Cylinder valves — Specification and type testing (ISO 10297:2006) prEN ISO 11117, Gas cylinders — Valve protection caps and valve guards — Design, construction and tests (ISO/DIS 11117:2006) EN ISO 13769, Gas cylinders — Stamp marking (ISO 13769:2002) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 acetylene cylinder cylinder containing a porous material with or without solvent for the storage of acetylene NOTE For solvent free acetylene cylinders see Clause 6. 3.2 tare weight see EN ISO 13769 and 4.5
EN 1800:2006 (E) 5 3.2.1 for acetylene cylinders with solvent the tare weight is expressed by indicating two weights (in kilograms) TARE A and TARE S. TARE A is the sum of the empty weight of the cylinder shell, the weight of the porous material, the specified weight of solvent content, the weight of the valve and the weight of all other parts which are permanently attached (e.g. by clamping or nut bolt fixing) to the cylinder when it is going to be filled, TARE S is TARE A plus the weight of acetylene required to saturate the solvent at atmospheric pressure at 15 °C 3.2.2 for solvent free acetylene cylinders the tare weight is expressed by indicating TARE F, where TARE F is TARE A minus the weight of solvent 3.3 total weight for cylinders with solvent, total weight is TARE A plus the weight of the maximum acetylene content, for solvent free cylinders, total weight is TARE F plus the weight of maximum acetylene content 3.4 water capacity capacity of the empty shell (excluding porous material) when filled with water 3.5 maximum acetylene content specified maximum weight of acetylene in the cylinder (in kilograms). When a solvent is used it includes the weight of saturation gas 3.6 porous material single or multi-component material introduced or formed in the cylinder in order to fill it and which due to its porosity allows the absorption of the solvent/acetylene gas solution NOTE The porous material may be either; a) monolithic, consisting of a solid product obtained by reacting materials or by materials connected together with a binder, or b) non-monolithic, consisting of granular, fibrous or similar materials without addition of a binder. 3.7 porosity ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the volume of solvent which can be filled into the cylinder, complete with porous material, to the water capacity of the cylinder shell without porous material (see Annex B) 3.8 solvent liquid which is absorbed by the porous material and is capable of dissolving and releasing the acetylene 3.9 acetylene solvent ratio ratio of the maximum acetylene content to the specified weight of solvent content
EN 1800:2006 (E) 6 3.10 working pressure maximum settled pressure in bar (gauge) at a uniform temperature of 15 °C in a cylinder containing the maximum acetylene content and the specified weight of solvent content 3.11 manufacturer company which fills the cylinder shell with porous material and which generally prepares it for charging with acetylene 4 Basic requirements 4.1 Cylinder shell 4.1.1 The acetylene cylinder shell shall conform to the requirements of the appropriate European Standard for design and construction of the cylinders, e.g.: a) for seamless steel, EN 1964-1; b) for seamless aluminium alloy, EN 1975; c) for welded steel, EN 13322-1. NOTE 1 Other standards for the design and construction of cylinders are in preparation and appropriate standards should be conformed to when published. NOTE 2 This requirement does not exclude continued use and replacing of porous materials of cylinder shells conforming to national requirements. 4.1.2 The minimum test pressure for the cylinder shell shall be 60 bar (gauge). 4.2 Porous material 4.2.1 The porous material in the cylinder shall be of such quality that it enables the completed cylinder to pass the safety tests included in Annex A. For safety reasons the porous material shall be able to prevent or inhibit a dangerous decomposition of the acetylene. 4.2.2 There shall be no hazardous reaction between the shell, the porous material, the acetylene, the solvent and any parts in contact with them, at any time. 4.2.3 To ensure the quality of the porous material and the solvent, production/batch test procedures for the preparation of the porous material shall be established by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex D. 4.2.4 Where joggle welds are used for the cylinder shell it shall be verified that no voids are left in the joggle region and that there is no movement between the porous material and the cylinder wall in the region of the joggle, which could lead to damage of the porous material (for joggle welds, see EN 13322-1). 4.3 Solvent The specified weight of solvent content shall be such that the cylinder can meet the requirements of the tests included in Annex A.
EN 1800:2006 (E) 7 4.4 Settled pressure When the cylinder has been charged to the maximum acetylene content and the pressure has reached equilibrium at a uniform temperature of 15 °C, the pressure in the cylinder shall not exceed the working pressure for the type of cylinder (calculated in accordance with Annex C). 4.5 Cylinder identification The identification shall conform to the requirements of EN ISO 13769. NOTE EN 1089-1:1996, has been revised as EN ISO 13769, is in conflict with the actual transport regulations. For safety reasons it is recommended to calculate the tare weight under consideration of the following points: a) rounding down to three significant figures but at least one digit after the decimal point; b) including any kind of coating (e.g. painting). 4.6 Accessories Valves for use with acetylene cylinders shall conform to the requirements of EN ISO 10297.
Valve guards and caps for use with acetylene cylinders shall conform to the requirements of prEN ISO 11117. NOTE Other accessories should conform to the requirements of appropriate European Standards, when available. 5 Approval procedures 5.1 General Representative cylinders, selected according to 5.3 by or on behalf of the approving organisation shall withstand successfully the type tests as required in 5.4 prior to type approval being granted to the request made by the manufacturer of the porous material (see 5.2). 5.2 Requests for approval 5.2.1 A request for the approval of acetylene cylinders may cover a range of different volumes provided that: a) the construction is similar (either seamless cylinders or cylinders with circumferential joggle welds or cylinders with butt welds only); b) the nominal outside diameter of the cylinder falls within the range of either: 1) up to and inclusive of 270 mm or 2) greater than 270 mm; c) the acetylene solvent ratios are the same; d) the maximum acetylene content per litre water capacity is the same; e) the cylinders contain the same porous material from the same factory and, the same solvent; f) the cylinder shells are made from the same type of material (steel or aluminium etc.).
EN 1800:2006 (E) 8 5.2.2 Each request for approval shall include the following information: a) a schedule of the different types of acetylene cylinder (as defined in 5.3.2) which form the subject of the request for approval and which includes, for each size of cylinder, the following information: 1) nominal water capacity in litres; 2)solvent to be used; 3) specified weight of solvent content in kg; 4) maximum weight of acetylene content in kg; 5) test pressure of the cylinder in bar (gauge); 6) the working pressure at 15 °C; 7) name of manufacturer or place of production of porous material; 8) identification of porous material (trade name) to be stamped; 9) rejection criteria (e.g. maximum top clearance between porous material and shell); b) a description of the porous material as it exists in the cylinder, which gives sufficient information concerning production process and quality control procedure to verify conformance to Annex D; c) a report on the porosity determinations
