In South Africa, the inspection and test periods indicated in annex A are replaced by those given in SANS 1825. Whilst the shape and colour of test rings shown i
7、n this standard are identical to those used in South Africa, a different approach is followed in their use. The ISO standard states that when a cylinder undergoes periodic inspection and testing, the test station will affix the test ring that, according to the chart, corresponds to the next test dat
8、e for that particular cylinder. For example, if an oxygen cylinder undergoes a periodic inspection and test in 2006, then the test ring affixed under the valve will correspond to the colour and shape shown in the chart in the ISO standard for the year 2016 (since oxygen cylinders are tested every 10
9、 years.) In South Africa we have adopted the opposite practice, i.e. that of affixing under the valve the test ring applicable to the year in which the current test was carried out. Therefore, in the above example, the test ring applicable to the year 2006 would be affixed under the valve. This edit

21、dies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizatio
22、ns, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the
23、ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of th
24、e member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10461 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinder
25、s, Subcommittee SC 4, Operational requirements for gas cylinders. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10461:1993), which has been technically revised. ISO 10461:2005(E) ISO 2005 All rights reserved vIntroduction The principal aim of a periodic inspection and testing proce
26、dure is to be satisfied that at the completion of the inspection and test, the cylinders (single or those from bundles) can be reintroduced into service for a further period of time. The inspection and test are to be carried out only by persons who are authorized under the relevant regulations and c
27、ompetent in the subject to assure all concerned that the cylinders are fit for continued safe use. The results of inspection and testing for the cylinders that are specified in this International Standard determine whether a cylinder should be returned to service.

28、05(E) ISO 2005 All rights reserved 1Gas cylinders Seamless aluminium-alloy gas cylinders Periodic inspection and testing 1 Scope This International Standard deals with seamless aluminium-alloy transportable gas cylinders intended for compressed and liquefied gases under pressure, of water capacity f
29、rom 0,5 l to 150 l; it also applies, as far as practical, to cylinders of less than 0,5 l water capacity. This International Standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing to verify the integrity of such gas cylinders for further service. This International Standard does not
30、 apply to periodic inspection and testing of acetylene cylinders or composite cylinders with aluminium-alloy liners. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated ref
31、erences, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

33、ts first receipt by a filler after the expiry of the interval in accordance with the requirements of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations or as specified by national or international authorities (see examples in Annex A). Provided the cylinder has
34、 been subjected to normal conditions of use and has not been subjected to abusive and abnormal conditions rendering the cylinder unsafe, there is no general requirement for the user to return a gas cylinder before the contents have been used even though the periodic inspection and test interval may
35、have lapsed. It is the responsibility of the owner or user to submit the cylinder for a periodic inspection and test within the interval specified by national or international authorities, or as specified in the relevant cylinder design standard if this is shorter. ISO 10461:2005(E) 2 ISO 2005 All r
36、ights reserved4 List of procedures for periodic inspections and tests Each cylinder shall be submitted to periodic inspections and tests. The following procedures, where applicable, form the requirements for such inspections and tests and are explained more fully in later clauses: a) identification
37、of cylinder and preparation for inspections and tests (Clause 5); b) depressurization and de-valving procedures (Clause 6); c) external visual inspection (Clause 7); d) check of internal condition (Clause 8); e) supplementary tests (Clause 9); f) inspection of cylinder neck (Clause 10); g) pressure
38、test or ultrasonic examination (Clause 11); h) inspection of valve and other accessories (Clause 12); i) cylinder repairs (Clause 13); j) final operations (Clause 14); k) rejection and rendering cylinders unserviceable (Clause 15). It is recommended that these procedures be performed in the sequence
39、 listed. In particular, the check of internal condition (Clause 8) should be carried out before the pressure test or, although not required, before the ultrasonic examination (Clause 11). Cylinders that fail an inspection or test shall be rejected (see Clause 15). Where a cylinder passes the above p
40、rocedures, but when the condition of the cylinder remains in doubt, additional tests shall be performed to confirm its suitability for continued service (see Clause 9) or the cylinder shall be rendered unserviceable. Depending on the reason for the rejection, some cylinders may be recovered (see Ann
41、ex B). The inspections and tests shall be carried out only by persons who are competent in the subject and authorized under the relevant regulations. Mechanical properties of aluminium-alloy cylinders can be affected by heat exposure. Therefore, the maximum temperature for any operation shall be lim
42、ited according to the manufacturers recommendations (see 14.2.2). 5 Identification of cylinder and preparation for inspections and tests Before any work is carried out, the relevant cylinder data (e.g. see ISO 13769) and its contents and ownership shall be identified (e.g. from the labelling and sta
43、mping). Cylinders with incorrect or illegible markings or unknown gas contents shall be set aside for special handling. 6 Depressurization and de-valving procedures 6.1 General Cylinders to be internally inspected or tested by a pressure test are required to be depressurized and de-valved. Cylinders
44、 not internally visually inspected and tested by ultrasonic examination do not require complete depressurization and de-valving unless the ultrasonic examination indicates there is an unacceptable flaw present and the inspector wishes to further investigate (see 11.4.6). ISO 10461:2005(E) ISO 2005 A
45、ll rights reserved 36.2 Cylinders requiring depressurization Cylinders shall be depressurized in a safe, controlled manner before proceeding. Particular attention shall be given to cylinders containing flammable, oxidizing, corrosive or toxic gases to eliminate risks at the internal inspection stage
46、. Before removing any pressure-retaining accessory (valve, flange, etc.), a positive check shall be performed to ensure that the cylinder does not contain any gas under pressure. This can be performed as described in Annex C using a device such as shown in Figure C.1. Cylinders with inoperative or b
47、locked valves shall be treated as outlined in Annex C. Similarly in the case of cylinders disassembled from bundles not equipped with cylinder valves, the connecting tee junctions shall also be checked to determine whether the gas is able to pass freely from the cylinders using for example the devic
48、e shown in Figure C.1. Provided the requirements previously stated have been complied with, the cylinder shall be depressurized safely and the valve shall be removed. 6.3 Cylinders not requiring de-valving Cylinders shall be depressurized below 5 bar to perform ultrasonic examination. For cylinders
49、being inspected by the ultrasonic method, refer to Clause 8. 7 External visual inspection 7.1 Preparation for external visual inspection If a cylinders external condition prevents or hinders a proper visual inspection of the surface, then the cylinder shall be prepared before the inspection. The cylinder shall be cleaned and have all loose coatings, corrosion products, tar, oil or other foreign matter removed from its external surface by a suitable method, e.g. brushing, water jet abrasive cleaning, chemical cleanin
