ISO/TC 58/SC 2/WG 11 - Allocations of valve outlets

This document is applicable to pin-index yoke-type valve connections for medical gas cylinders, with a working pressure up to a maximum of 200 bar or test pressure up to a maximum of 300 bar, or both. NOTE 1   This type of connection is primarily used for small cylinders (5 l or below). NOTE 2   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 (1 bar = 105 Pa = 105 N/m2). This document specifies: —   basic dimensions; —   requirements for alternative designs of the yoke-type valve connections; —   dimensions and positions for the holes and pins for the outlet connections. It also specifies the dimensions and positions for the holes and pins for the outlet connections for gases and gas mixtures.

ISO 5145:2017 establishes practical criteria for determining valve outlet connections for gas cylinders. It applies to the selection of gas cylinder valve outlet connections and specifies the dimensions for a number of them. ISO 5145:2017 is not applicable to connections used for cryogenic gas withdrawal or gases for breathing equipment, which are the subjects of other International Standards. NOTE Other safeguard provisions like labelling or colour coding are not affected by this document.

ISO 5145:2014 establishes practical criteria for determining valve outlet connections for gas cylinders. It applies to the selection of gas cylinder valve outlet connections and specifies the dimensions for a number of them. It does not apply to connections used for cryogenic gas withdrawal or gases for breathing equipment, which are the subjects of other International Standards.

ISO 5145:2004 establishes practical criteria for determining valve outlet connections for gas cylinders. It applies to the selection of gas cylinder valve outlet connections and specifies the dimensions of a number of them. ISO 5145:2004 does not apply to connections used for cryogenic gas withdrawal or gases for breathing equipment which are the subject of other International Standards.
