19、ification of gases. One relates to Dangerous Substances and Preparations, the other to the Transport of Dangerous Goods (ADR). These Directives have several conflicting classifications, e.g. toxicity is expressed in volume parts per million (p.p.m.V) in the ADR Directive and in milligrams per litre
20、(mg/l) in the Substances and Preparations Directive. The purpose of this standard is to list the properties of individual gases to facilitate the selection of valve outlets. This is different from the scope of the two Directives mentioned above, which are concerned with hazard identification and tra
21、nsport matters respectively. Consequently this standard is not in conflict with either of the two above Directives as it specifically addresses the risks of misconnection of equipment e.g. Chlorine is not an oxidant according to Transport Regulations, but the risk of mixing this gas with flammable g
22、as is well known and is addressed in this standard. 1 Scope The purpose of this part of EN 720 is to define the properties of gases on the basis of four main physicalchemical criteria i.e. fire potential, toxicity, state of gas and corrosiveness (see clause 3) for the purpose of the selection of sui
23、table valve outlets. NOTE See 3.4 for the definition of corrosiveness. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are lis
24、ted hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 720-2, Classification of
25、 gases and gas mixtures Part 2: Gases and gas mixtures Determination of fire potential and oxidizing ability. EN ISO 11114-1, Transportable gas cylinders Compatibility of cylinder and valve materials with gas contents Part 1: Metallic materials. 3 Definitions For the purpose of this European Standar
26、d, the following definitions apply. 3.1 fire potential a gas or gas mixture is said to be flammable in air if it will ignite in air at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 208C. The minimum content of gas or gas mixture at which it ignites is called the lower flammability limit in air. This
27、limit is determined at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 208C a gas or a gas mixture which is less oxidizing than air is not able, at atmospheric pressure, to support the combustion of substances, which are flammable in air 3.2 toxicity toxicity is characterized by the 50 % lethal concent
28、ration. In this standard the 50 % lethal concentration (LC 50 ) is the concentration of a gas in air, expressed in p.p.m.V., administered in a single exposure during a short period of time (24 h or less) to a group of young adult albino rats (males and females) which results in the death of half of
29、the animals in a period of at least 14 days (see 5.2) 3.3 state of gas the physical state in which gases may be stored and transported in cylinders. Four categories are adopted: deeply refrigerated liquefied; liquefied; compressed; dissolved 3.4 corrosiveness ability of the gas to damage or to destr
30、oy external living tissues (eyes and skin). Gases are assigned a corrosiveness category. This is not to be confused with corrositivity of gases with metallic materials (see EN ISO 11114-1) 4 Properties of gas mixtures From the properties of the various components given in clause 6, the properties of
31、 the gas mixtures may be determined by using the appropriate standard on gas mixtures concerning each of the physico-chemical criteria indicated in clause 1 (see EN 720-2 for the fire potential).Page 4 EN 720-1:1999 BSI 08-1999 5 Code number To be able to recognize the properties of a gas, a code nu
32、mber (FTSC) is given. This code number assigned to each gas is based on the following four physico-chemical criteria: Category I: fire potential, defining the gas behaviour with respect to flammability (see 3.1); Category II: toxicity determined by the 50 % lethal concentration (see 3.2); Category I
33、II: gas state, defining the physical state of the contents in the cylinder at 158C within a given pressure range (see 3.3); Category IV: corrosiveness (see 3.4). Each category is composed of different sub-divisions, each identified by a different digit. In this way a gas, in a given state, is charac
34、terized by a series of four digits (one digit per category) as shown in 5.1 to 5.5. 5.1 Fire potential (category I) For fire potential, gases are divided in 6 subdivisions: Subdivision 0: inert (any gas not classified under subdivisions 1 to 5 below); Subdivision 1: supports combustion (oxidizing ga
35、s having an oxidant potential equal to or less than that of air); Subdivision 2: flammable (gas having flammable limits in air) (see 3.1); Subdivision 3: spontaneously flammable; Subdivision 4: highly oxidizing (see 3.1) (oxidizing gas having an oxidant potential greater than that of air); Subdivisi
36、on 5: flammable and subject to decomposition or polymerization. 5.2 Toxicity (category II) For toxicity, gases are divided into five subdivisions: Subdivision 0: life supporting; Subdivision 1: asphyxiant (when LC 50 is greater than 15 000 p.p.m.V); Subdivision 2: toxic and asphyxiant (when 200 p.p.
37、m.V# LC 50 # 5 000 p.p.m.V); Subdivision 3: very toxic and asphyxiant (when LC 50 # 200 p.p.m.V); Subdivision 9: harmful and asphyxiant (when 5 000 p.p.m.V# LC 50 15 000 p.p.m.V) where LC 50 values correspond to 1 h exposure and mortality in 14 days and with p.p.m.V corresponding to the parts per mi
38、llion by volume. 5.3 State of the gas in the cylinder at 158C (category III) For state of the gas, gases are divided into 8 subdivisions: Subdivision 0: liquefied gas at 35 bar or less; Subdivision 1: liquefied gas at over 35 bar; Subdivision 2: liquid withdrawal liquefied gas (optional); Subdivisio
39、n 3: dissolved gas; Subdivision 4: 35 bar or less gas only (including cryogenic gas withdrawal); Subdivision 5: medium pressure range, compressed gases from 35 bar up to and including 250 bar; Subdivision 7: high pressure range, above 250 bar and up to and including 400 bar; Subdivision 8: very high
40、 pressure, above 400 bar. NOTE Subdivision 6 is not used here because it is used by the U.S. 5.4 Corrosiveness (category IV) For corrosiveness, gases are divided into 4 subdivisions: Subdivision 0: non-corrosive; Subdivision 1: non-halogen acid forming; Subdivision 2: basic; Subdivision 3: halogen a
41、cid forming. 5.5 Designation of the code This code is called FTSC code: F: for fire potential, defining the gas behaviour with respect to flammability; T: for toxicity; S: for gas state, defining the physical state of the contents in the cylinder at 158C within a given pressure range; C: for corrosi
42、veness. 6 List of gases NOTE For compressed gases the third digit used in this standard is a 5. Most of these gases may be filled at higher pressure and consequently the relevant digit 7 or 8 shall then be used. For liquefied gases the third digit used in this standard is 0 or 1 (depending on the pr
43、essure). Most of these gases may be used with liquid withdrawal and consequently the relevant digit 2 shall then be used (irrespective of the pressure).Page 5 EN 720-1:1999 BSI 08-1999 Gas Synonym Code Number Acetylene Ethyne 5130 Air 1050 Allene Propadiene 2100 Ammonia R717 2902 Antimony pentafluor
