Gas cylinders. Cylinder bundles. Design, manufacture, testing and inspection
1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements for the design, construction, testing and initial inspection of a transportable cylinder bundle . It is applicable to cylinder bundles containing compressed gas , liquefied gas and mixtures thereof. It is also applicable to cylinder bundles for acetylene. This International Standard does not apply to packages in which cylinders are manifolded together in a support frame which is designed to be fixed permanently to a road vehicle, to a railway wagon or to the ground as a customer storage vessel. It does not apply to cylinder bundles which are designed for use in extreme environmental or operational conditions when additional and extraordinary requirements are imposed to maintain safety standards, reliability and performance, e.g. offshore cylinder bundles . Some special applications (e.g. electronics) require an alternative design approach. With the agreement of the inspection body , the manifold and its piping components may be designed and tested at a pressure which is appropriate to the service conditions. Specific requirements for acetylene cylinder bundles containing acetylene in a solvent are included in Annex B. This International Standard does not, however, cover acetylene cylinder bundles with solvent-free acetylene cylinders. This International Standard is intended primarily for industrial gases other tha...
