NOTE These materials correspond to the materials received by the manufacturer, before having been submitted to any manufacturing process. 4.1.2 Materials supplied for boss shall conform to EN 10083-1 or EN 10084. 4.1.3 The welding consumables shall be such that they are capable of giving consistent welds. The material characteristics on the welds shall be considered by design. 4.1.4 Grades of steel used for the cylinder manufacture shall be compatible with the intended gas service, e.g. corrosive gases, embrittling gases according to EN ISO 11114-1. 4.1.5 The manufacturer shall be able to guarantee cylinder steel casting traceability for each pressure retaining part. 4.1.6 All parts welded or in contact with the cylinder shall be made of compatible material with the cylinder without harming its characteristics or favouring corrosion processes. 4.1.7 The cylinder manufacturer shall obtain and provide certificates of the ladle analysis of the steel supplied for the construction of the pressure retaining parts of the cylinder and of welding consumables. 4.2 Heat treatment When the manufacturer considers that heat treatment is necessary, it should be in accordance with EN 10052. When no heat treatment is performed, because there is a risk of strain ageing, especially for SIST EN 14638-3:2010
Figure 1 — Weld clearance 6.2 Welding procedures Each manufacturer, before proceeding with the production of a given design of cylinder, shall qualify the welding procedures and welders according to EN ISO 15614-1 and EN 287-1 or EN 1418. Records of such qualification shall be kept on file by the manufacturer. 6.3 Pressure-retaining welded joints Except for the boss weldments, all welded joints shall be either of a butt or a joggle configuration (see Figure 2). For cylindrical shapes, longitudinal joints shall be butt welded. 6.4 Non-pressure-containing attachments 6.4.1 Non-pressure-containing parts such as footrings, handles and neckrings which are not submitted to pressure shall be made in accordance with 4.1.6. 6.4.2 Each attachment shall be designed to permit inspection of the welds, which shall be clear of longitudinal and circumferential joints, and so designed as to avoid trapping water. 6.4.3 A footring or other suitable supports shall be fitted when applicable to the cylinder to provide stability, and attached so as to permit inspection of the welds. The footring, if attached, shall have drainage and the space enclosed by the footring shall be ventilated. 6.4.4 In the case of cylinders subjected to a cold-forming, the non-pressure retaining attachments shall be welded to the cylinder preform before cold forming or cryoforming. 6.5 Valve protection 6.5.1 Valves of cylinders of more than 5 l water capacity shall be effectively protected from damage that could cause release of gas, either by the design of the cylinder (for example protective shroud) or by a valve protection device (see EN ISO 11117). 6.5.2 When a protective shroud is used, it shall fulfil the requirements of the drop test (see
EN ISO 11117).

where
F
is the energy, in Joules; M
is the maximum operating mass of the cylinder, in kg. The striking velocity, v, shall be between 7 m/s and 8 m/s. Two un-pressurised cylinders shall be impacted at five different positions in accordance with 7.2.4.1.4. The tests shall be repeated with two further cylinders. These cylinders shall be pressurised with compressed air or any other inert gas to the maximum working pressure or 5 bar, whichever is the lower. NOTE Appropriate measures should be taken (e.g. in a cage) to ensure safe operation and to contain any energy that may be released, which is considerably more than that in the hydraulic test. If the cylinders withstand all of the impacts without leakage and with damage in excess of the criteria listed in EN 1803, then on completion of the impacts, both cylinders shall be subjected only to a burst test. The results shall be satisfactory when the burst pressure pba > 1,3 ph. If the cylinders withstand all of the impacts with visible damage below the rejection criteria (see EN 1803), then on completion of the impacts, one cylinder subject to a fatigue test in accordance with 7.2.3 but with only 6 000 cycles and one cylinder shall be subjected to a burst test in accordance with 8.2.1. 7.2.4.3 Edge impact test The impact energy, F, shall be determined by F = 12 M

F
is the energy, in Joules; M
is the maximum operating mass of the cylinder, in kg. The striking velocity, v, shall be between 4 m/s and 5 m/s. Two un-pressurised cylinders shall each be impacted with the edge parallel to the cylinder axis (see Figure 3). The cylinders shall then be impacted with the edge perpendicular to the cylinder axis. The tests shall be repeated with two further cylinders. These cylinders shall be pressurised with compressed air, or any other inert gas, to the maximum working pressure or 5 bar, whichever is the lower. NOTE Appropriate measures should be taken (e.g. in a cage) to ensure safe operation and to contain any energy that may be released, which is considerably more than that in the hydraulic test. If the cylinders withstand all of the impacts without leakage and with damage in excess of the criteria listed in EN 1803, then on completion of the impacts, both cylinders shall be subjected only to a burst test.

For the purpose of acceptance testing, the manufacturer shall provide: the type approval certificate (7.2.5); the certificates stating the cast analyses of the steel supplied for the construction of the cylinder; a list of cylinders, stating serial numbers and stamp markings as required; information that the threads are in accordance with 6.7. The manufacturer shall carry out the following tests on the cylinders selected: mechanical testing specified in 8.1.3; 8.1.4; 8.1.5; SIST EN 14638-3:2010
Tables 1 to 3, shall be taken from each batch. 8.1.2.2 For acceptance purposes, the batch shall be divided into inspection lots not exceeding
1 000 cylinders. 8.1.2.3 For selection of sample cylinders for either burst or mechanical tests, each lot shall be sub-divided into batches of 250 cylinders during the first 3 000 cylinders and batches of 500 or
1 000 cylinders, depending on burst pressure, thereafter. 8.1.2.4 The reduced rate of sampling (see Tables 2 and 3) after the first 3 000 cylinders shall be subject to the manufacturer demonstrating that the batch production test results and manufacturing processes are consistently reliable without any major interruption of manufacture (see 8.1.2.7). This shall be considered as demonstrated if the corresponding tests on the first 3 000 cylinders are acceptable without having to repeat any test, except when the repetition is due to failure in the test performance (see 4.4.2). 8.1.2.5 In the case of unsatisfactory results in any of the tests, batch controls shall be carried out as it is done at the beginning of a fabrication, although the test repetitions are correct and the batch is accepted. 8.1.2.6 For a batch of less than 3 000 cylinders and for the first 3 000 cylinders of a batch greater than 3 000 cylinders, see Table 1: Table 1 — Cylinders per batch size Batch size Cylinders taken as samples Cylinder subjected to the Lots of 1 000 cylinders mechanical tests burst tests 1st

At the beginning and the end of each shift, or alignment of the welding machine, an additional bursting test or NDT examination shall be carried out. In the case of continuous production, this may be limited to one test per shift. 8.1.3 Tensile test 8.1.3.1 The tensile test on final material shall be carried out on a test sample from a finished cylinder in accordance with EN ISO 6892-1. The tensile test transverse to the weld shall be carried out on a test sample having a reduced section 25 mm wide over a length of 15 mm beyond the edge of the weld. Outside this central part, the width of the test sample shall increase gradually. The two faces of the test sample formed by the inside and the outside of the cylinder shall not be machined. 8.1.3.2 The values obtained for the yield strength, tensile strength, shall be not less than 95 % of those actually recorded by the cylinder manufacturer at the prototype test for each determined area “i” in accordance with 5.2, and in no case be less than those given in EN 10028-1 and EN 10028-3, or EN 10028-1 and EN 10028-5, or EN 10120 or EN 10268 or other carbon steel standards, provided that they meet the requirements of this part of EN 14638. Lower values for mechanical properties shall result in a new prototype test from cylinders so affected. The minimum percentage elongation values shall be those guaranteed by the cylinder manufacturer for each determined area “i” given in the technical specification for the cylinder (see 7.1.1) and shall not be less than 14 %. However, a lower value than 14 % may also be applied, provided that appropriate measures (e.g. no fragmentation during burst testing, possible use of a safety relief device) are taken to compensate for these lower values and the specific requirements are verifiable in accordance with
