Introduction
This document contains data and information about monolithic porous materials for acetylene
cylinders.
It does not contain information about non-monolithic porous materials.
In International Standards, weight is equivalent to a force, expressed in newton. However, in common
parlance the word “weight” continues to be used to mean “mass”, but this practice is deprecated
(ISO 80000-4).
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 according SI unit for pressure is Pa
5 5 2
(1 bar = 10 Pa = 10 N/m ).
Pressure values given in this document are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric
pressure) unless noted otherwise.

1 Scope
This document contains information about monolithic porous materials used in individual acetylene
cylinders and in acetylene cylinder bundles in Europe. It does not claim to be exhaustive.
NOTE Where there is any conflict between this document and any applicable regulation, the regulation
always takes precedence.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
4 Source and nature of the data about the listed porous materials
The data contained in the tables in Clauses 7 and 8 are derived from the documentation based on which
the acetylene cylinders were placed or still are on the market (type approval by the competent
authority or conformity assessment in accordance with TPED) and according to which they are
operated. In some cases a type approval or a TPED-certificate might no longer be valid but the cylinders
that are already on the market still may be used. For this purpose, information on old porous materials
is provided.
NOTE 1 The documentation provided was examined carefully before including the according information into
this Technical Report. Nevertheless, there might be discrepancies to the actual approval, e.g. because more recent
amendments exist which were not made available at the time of preparing this document. In some cases not all
information was available in the documents provided and consequently the according information is missing (for
example the maximum top clearance or the working pressure).
Acetylene cylinders that were reassessed in accordance with TPED may be filled with the filling values
conforming to the reassessment certificate throughout the EU. It should be noted that these values
might deviate from those of prior national approvals which still apply to those cylinders that were not
reassessed according to TPED.
Where no official documentation could be made available to CEN/TC 23/WG 31, the data for the porous
material is added with a note, that this information is shared by expert/porous material manufacturer
as extracted from the official documentation, but has not been presented to the working group. This is
of especial note in the case of reassessed acetylene cylinders, since every user can ask for a specific
reassessment.
Clause 7 contains information on porous materials for acetylene cylinders approved to TPED. It also
contains information on filling conditions for acetylene cylinder bundles in accordance with
EN ISO 13088:2012. The same filling ratio applies for the whole EU.
Clause 9 contains information on porous materials used in individual acetylene cylinders and cylinder
bundles that were type approved based on national regulations and/or standards.
If several years are indicated for the approval or certification, they refer to according amendments in
addition.

7 Data for porous materials for acetylene cylinders approved to TPED
evaluation of conformity at time of manufacture
Clause 7 contains information on porous materials for pi-marked acetylene cylinders which were
placed or still are on the market. Such porous materials are type tested in most cases according to
EN ISO 3807, EN 1800 or ISO 3807-1. It also contains information on filling conditions for acetylene
cylinder bundles in accordance with EN 12755 or EN ISO 13088:2012.
NOTE 1 According to ADR:2019, EN 1800 was used for type approvals until December 2016. ISO 3807-1
(applicable until 31 December 2020) or ISO 3807 are used at time of publication of this Technical Report for the
type approval of UN-Cylinders and EN ISO 3807 is used for non-UN-Cylinders.
NOTE 2 EN 1800 and ISO 3807-1 were superseded by EN ISO 3807 in 2013. Nevertheless type approvals for
the monolithic materials listed in this Technical Report were conducted according to these standards.
NOTE 3 EN 12755 was superseded by EN ISO 13088:2012. Nevertheless the filling conditions for bundles listed
in this Technical Report are determined/calculated according to these standards.
Tables 4 to 15 provide data of porous materials for single cylinders and bundles with TPED evaluation
of conformity. For an overview, refer to Table 1.
The following information is given for each porous material:
— the cylinder water capacity, in l, to which the filling conditions (solvent content, acetylene content,
working pressure) are applicable;
— the specified solvent content, in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder shall contain per litre water
capacity in accordance with the type tests;
— the maximum acetylene content (including saturation acetylene), in kg/l, that the acetylene
cylinder shall contain per litre water capacity in accordance with the type tests. Filling tolerances,
especially depending on the scale, have to be taken into account to avoid overfilling.
— the working pressure (always given as gauge pressure [bar]) of the acetylene cylinder. For bundles
it gives the maximum number of consecutive fillings before the bundle has to be dismantled and
solvent has to be replenished in the individual cylinders.

8 Data for porous materials for acetylene cylinders reassessed in accordance
with TPED
TPED allows to reassess cylinders initially manufactured according to national regulations. Successfully
reassessed cylinders, after pi-marking, can be used with the same filling ratio, same solvent content and
same acetylene content in all European countries.
Clause 8 contains information on porous materials for acetylene cylinders reassessed in accordance
with TPED.
The following tables are ordered alphabetically according to the name of the porous material. Within
these tables the countries are ranked alphabetically according to the country codes as given in Clause 5.
The column “Cylinder water capacity” gives the cylinder water capacities, in l, to which the filling
conditions (solvent content, acetylene content, working pressure) as given in the subsequent columns
are applicable.
The column “Solvent content” lists the specified solvent content, in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder
shall contain per litre water capacity according to the national approval.
In case of bundle, the column “Solvent content” lists the minimum and the maximum solvent content,
in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder in a bundle shall contain per litre water capacity of the cylinder
according to the national approval. These values determine the solvent operating range.
The column “Acetylene content” lists the maximum acetylene content (including saturation ace

Introduction
This report contains data and information about monolithic porous materials for acetylene cylinders.
This report does not contain information about non-monolithic porous materials.
In International Standards, weight is equivalent to a force, expressed in Newton. However, in common
parlance the word “weight” continues to be used to mean “mass”, but this practice is deprecated
(ISO 80000-4).
In this European Technical Report 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 according SI unit for pressure
is Pa.
Pressure values given in this European Technical Report are given as gauge pressure (pressure
exceeding atmospheric pressure) unless noted otherwise.

1 Scope
This Technical Report contains information about monolithic porous materials used in individual
acetylene cylinders and in acetylene cylinder bundles. It does not claim to be exhaustive.
NOTE Where there is any conflict between this European Technical Report and any applicable regulation, the
regulation always takes precedence.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
4 Source and nature of the data about the listed porous materials
The data contained in the tables in Clauses 6, 7 and 8 are derived from the documentation based on
which the acetylene cylinders were placed or still are on the market (type approval by the competent
authority or conformity assessment in accordance with TPED) and according to which they are
operated. In some cases a type approval or a TPED-certificate might no longer be valid but the cylinders
that are already on the market still may be used. For this purpose, information on old porous materials
is provided.
NOTE 1 The documentation provided was examined carefully before including the according information into
this Report. Nevertheless, there might be discrepancies to the actual approval, e.g. because more recent
amendments exist which were not made available at the time of preparing this Report. In some cases not all
information was available in the documents provided and consequently the according information is missing (for
example the maximum top clearance or the working pressure).
Acetylene cylinders that were reassessed in accordance with TPED may be filled with the filling values
conforming to the reassessment certificate throughout the EU. It should be noted that these values
might deviate from those of prior national approvals which still apply to those cylinders that were not
reassessed according to TPED.
Where no official documentation could be made available to CEN/TC 23/WG 31, no information is
included in this technical report, meaning that the information is not exhaustive. This is of especial note
in the case of reassessed acetylene cylinders, since every user can ask for a specific reassessment.
Clause 6 contains information on porous materials for acetylene cylinders approved or reassessed to
TPED. It also contains information on filling conditions for acetylene cylinder bundles in accordance
with EN ISO 13088. The same filling ratio applies for the whole EU.
Clause 7 contains information on porous materials used in individual acetylene cylinders that were type
approved based on national regulations and/or standards.

Clause 8 contains information on porous materials used in acetylene cylinder bundles that were
approved based on national regulations and/or standards.
If several years are indicated for the approval or certification they refer to according amendments in
addition.
NOTE 2 The initial agreements of the French porous materials have been delivered on the basis of a data pair
“porous material/cylinder manufacturer”. Therefore, the name of the cylinder manufacturer has been detailed:
Chevalier Bertrand (CB), Schneider Industrie (SI), Pecquet Tesson (PTC), Société Métallurgique de Gerzat (SMG)
and Siebel (S).
NOTE 3 Every user (owner) of a cylinder can decide on its own commercial acetylene load, provided that this
load is less or equal to the maximum load given in the agreement.
5 Country codes
In this Technical Report countries are identified in accordance with their distinguishing signs for motor
vehicles according to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic which is also the basis for marking of
cylinders according to the ADR (see Annex A to the ADR, 6.2.2.7) as follows:
A Austria F France L Luxembourg
B Belgium FIN Finland N Norway
BG Bulgaria GB United Kingdom NL Netherlands
CH Switzerland GR Greece P Portugal

6 Data for porous materials for acetylene cylinders approved to TPED
6.1 Data for porous materials for acetylene cylinders with TPED evaluation of
conformity at time of manufacture
Sub-clause 6.1 contains information on porous materials for pi-marked acetylene cylinders which were
placed or still are on the market. Such porous materials are type tested in most cases according to
EN ISO 3807, EN 1800 or ISO 3807-1. It also contains information on filling conditions for acetylene
cylinder bundles in accordance with EN 12755 or EN ISO 13088.
NOTE 1 according to ADR:2015 EN 1800 was used for type approvals until December 2016. ISO 3807-1 is used
for the type approval of UN-Cylinders and EN ISO 3807 is used for non-UN-Cylinders.
NOTE 2 EN 1800 and ISO 3807-1 were superseded by EN ISO 3807 in 2013. Nevertheless type approvals for
the monolithic materials were conducted according to these standards.
NOTE 3 EN 12755 was superseded by EN ISO 13088 in 2012. Nevertheless type approvals for the monolithic
materials were conducted according to these standards.
The following tables are ordered alphabetically according to the name of the porous material.
Column 1 gives the cylinder water capacities, in l, to which the filling conditions (solvent content,
acetylene content, working pressure) as given in the subsequent columns are applicable.

Column 2 lists the specified solvent content, in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder shall contain per litre
water capacity in accordance with the type tests according to EN ISO 3807, EN 1800 or ISO 3807-1.
Column 3 lists the maximum acetylene content (including saturation acetylene), in kg/l, that the
acetylene cylinder shall contain per litre water capacity in accordance with the type tests according to
EN ISO 3807, EN 1800 or ISO 3807-1. Filling tolerances, especially depending on the scale, have to be
taken into account to avoid overfilling.
Column 4 lists the working pressure (always given as gauge pressure [bar]) of the acetylene cylinder as
calculated in accordance with EN ISO 3807, EN 1800 or ISO 3807-1. For bundles it gives the maximum
no. of consecutive fillings before the bundle has to be dismantled and solvent has to be replenished in
the individual cylinders.

7 Data for porous materials for individual acetylene cylinders and that are type
approved based on national regulations
Clause 7 contains information on porous materials for individual acetylene cylinders which were type
approved based on national regulations and/or standards.
The following tables are ordered alphabetically according to the name of the porous material. Within
these tables the countries are ranked alphabetically according to the country codes as given in Clause 5.
Column 4 gives the cylinder water capacities, in l, to which the filling conditions (solvent content,
acetylene content, working pressure) as given in the subsequent columns are applicable.
Column 5 lists the specified solvent content, in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder shall contain per litre
water capacity according to the national approval.
Column 6 lists the maximum acetylene content (including saturation acetylene except where mentioned
otherwise), in kg/l, that the acetylene cylinder shall contain per litre water capacity according to the
national approval.
Column 7 lists the working pressure of the acetylene cylinder according to the national approval (based
on a settled pressure at 15 °C).
