31、uirements within the jurisdiction of local, state, provincial/territorial, and national regulatory authorities with laws or regulations that preempt the provisions of this standard. When such is the case, it is recom-mended that the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) be guided by this standard in d
32、etermining requirements. 1 References are shown by bracketed numbers and are listed in order of appearance in the reference section. PAGE 2 COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION, INC. CGA G-132015 This standard is not intended to replace or fulfill the requirements of a Risk Management Program (RMP) as mandate
33、d under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, generally referred to as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) RMP rule. A full RMP is comprised of a hazard assessment, a management system, a preven-tion program, and an emergency response program. Such programs and assessments shall be developed on
34、 a case-by-case basis in response to the requirements of the RMP and the circumstances found at each individual company where silane is stored or used. 2.2 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to prescribe the controls for the installation of silane systems and the recom-mended methods for storag
35、e or transfer of silane or its mixtures from a source of supply to a point of use to provide protection against injury, loss of life, and property damage. 2.3 Equivalency Nothing in this standard is intended to prevent the use of systems, methods, or devices of equivalent or superi-or quality, stren
36、gth, fire-resistance, effectiveness, durability, and safety over those prescribed by this standard. Systems, methods, or devices to be used as equivalents shall be supported by technical documentation that demonstrates equivalency. The use of equivalencies shall be subject to approval by the AHJ. 3
37、Definitions For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 Publication terminology 3.1.1 Shall Indicates that the procedure is mandatory. It is used wherever the criterion for conformance to specific recom-mendations allows no deviation. 3.1.2 Should Indicates that a procedur
38、e is recommended. 3.1.3 May Indicates that the procedure is optional. 3.1.4 Will Is used only to indicate the future, not a degree of requirement. 3.1.5 Can Indicates a possibility or ability. 3.2 Technical definitions 3.2.1 Barricade construction Room, building, or enclosed structure of such type,
39、size, and construction as to limit in a prescribed manner the effect of an explosion on nearby buildings or within the building in which an explosion occurs. 3.2.2 Barrier, shield Partition constructed of materials to isolate the hazard from contact with personnel. NOTEBarriers are designed with str
40、uctural strength and arranged to resist physical forces. NOTESee Appendix A for information on personnel protection. 3.2.3 Burning velocity Intrinsic property of burning gases or vapors expressed as the motion of the flame relative to the motion of the unburned gas.

41、IATION, INC. PAGE 3 3.2.4 Container 3.2.4.1 Cylinder Seamless pressure vessel having a nominal water capacity up to 50 L. 3.2.4.1.1 Cylinder packs Arrangement of cylinders into a cluster where the cylinders are confined into a grouping or arrangement with a strapping or frame system and connections
42、are made to a common manifold. For silane service, each cylinder shall be fitted with an individual shutoff valve. The frame system is allowed to be on skids or wheels to permit movement. 3.2.4.1.2 ISO module Multi-modal assembly of cylinders, tubes, or bundles of cylinders that are interconnected b
43、y a manifold and assembled within a framework. NOTEThe ISO module includes service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport of gases. The frame of an ISO module and its corner castings are specially designed and dimensioned for use in multi-modal transporta-tion service on cont
44、ainer ships, special highway chassis, and container-on-flatcar railroad equipment. An ISO module may also be referred to in regulations as a MEGC and its equivalent. 3.2.4.1.3 Multiple-element gas container (MEGC) Assembly of cylinders, tubes, or bundles of cylinders that are interconnected by a man
45、ifold and are assembled within a framework. NOTEThe MEGC module includes service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport of gases. 3.2.4.2 Packages greater than 50 L Any individual or manifolded collection of seamless pressure vessel(s) having a collective nominal water capac-
46、ity greater than 50 L. NOTEThese can include an ISO module, multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs), tubes, tube trailers, cylinder packs, nominal 450 L (ton tank), or other packages as defined by regulations or codes. 3.2.4.2.1 Ton tank(s) Seamless pressure vessel having a nominal water capacity of
47、 450 L. 3.2.4.2.2 Tube trailers Truck or semitrailer on which a number of tubes have been mounted and manifolded into a common piping system. 3.2.4.2.3 Tubes Seamless pressure vessel having a nominal water capacity exceeding 150 L but not more than 3000 L. 3.2.5 Deflagration Exothermic reaction such
48、 as extremely rapid oxidation of a flammable dust or vapor in air in which the reaction progresses through the unburned material at a rate less than the velocity of sound. NOTEA deflagration will have an explosive effect. 3.2.6 Detonation Exothermic reaction characterized by the pressure of a shock
49、wave in material that establishes and maintains the reaction. NOTEThe reaction zone progresses through the material at a rate greater than the velocity of sound. The principal heating mechanism is one of shock compression. A detonation will have an explosive effect. 3.2.7 Emergency response containment vessel (ERCV) Nationally or regionally approved pressure vessel used to contain leaking gas cylinders for transportation.
