22、ntroduction Transportable gas cylinder bundles require inspection at time of filling, both before and after the filling process, in order to ensure that all components are suitable for the intended filling conditions and are free of serious defects and contamination that can affect the integrity of
23、the bundle. EN 13365:2002 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for inspection before, during and after the time of filling for cylinder bundles, also referred to as bundles. This standard does not apply to acetylene bundles which are covered in EN 12755. This standard does
24、 not cover bundles when they are a part of a battery vehicle. 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 listed here
25、after. 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 (including amendments). EN 1802, Tra

28、ich is designed for being routinely lifted and which consists of a frame and two or more cylinders each of capacity up to 150 litres connected to a manifold by cylinder valves or fittings such that the cylinders are filled, transported and emptied without disassembly 3.2 frame structural and non str
29、uctural members of a bundle which combine all other components together, whilst providing protection for the bundles cylinders, valves and manifold and which enable the bundle to be transported 3.3 cylinder valve valve which is fitted into a cylinder and to which a manifold is connected 3.4 cylinder
30、 fitting device with no gas shut-off capability which serves as a method for connecting the manifold of a bundle to its individual cylinders when cylinder valves are not fitted to the cylinders 3.5 manifold system for connecting the cylinder valves or cylinder fittings to the main outlet valve(s) or
31、 outlet connection(s) of the bundle EN 13365:2002 (E) 6 3.6 main outlet valve valve which is fitted to the manifold of the bundle isolating it from the outlet connection(s) 3.7 liquefied gas gas which has a critical temperature of 20 oC or above 3.8 maximum permissible filling weight the product of
32、the minimum guaranteed water capacity of the cylinders of the cylinder bundle and the filling ratio of the gas contained 4 Inspection at time of filling 4.1 Inspection prior to filling Before filling a bundle it shall be verified by visual examination that: the bundle is permitted to be filled in th
33、e country of the filling station; the bundle has an unexpired periodic inspection date; the bundle is compatible with the nature of the gas and filling pressure or filling weight; the frame is free from damage which may affect its mechanical integrity; the restraining systems that prevent the cylind
34、ers from moving are secure and the cylinders have not moved whilst in service; any lifting attachments and/or fork lift slots are free from damage, that may affect the integrity of the bundle; the manifold and pipework are securely attached to the frame and are undamaged; flexible hoses, where fitte
35、d, are free from damage to any reinforcement braiding; the visible surfaces of the cylinders are free from any signs of dents, cuts, gouges, fire damage or any other signs of damage. Rejection criteria shall be applied in accordance with EN 1968, EN 1802 or prEN ISO 11623, as appropriate. Where any
36、cylinder is damaged the cylinder bundle shall not be filled but shall be identified and shall be removed from service for corrective action. In the case of fire damage the bundle shall be disassembled and all cylinders shall be inspected and any suspect cylinders shall be revalidated or rejected; th
37、e bundle does not show any signs of having been immersed in water or other liquids (e.g. cylinders covered in mud or seaweed) or any signs of tampering (e.g. loosened bolts, missing panels); the cylinder valves if fitted are all in the open position; the main outlet valve is free from contamination
38、and is undamaged and is the correct thread for the gas to be filled; where appropriate any safety devices such as relief valves or bursting discs are in place and have not been damaged; the necessary data specified in prEN 13769 is permanently marked or labelled on the bundle; in the case of liquefi
39、ed gases the tare weight and maximum permissible filling weight are legible. Additionally a check of the main outlet valve shall be carried out to ensure that the valve operates properly. EN 13365:2002 (E) 7 Before filling it shall be verified that the bundle is free from any internal contamination
40、which may affect its integrity by ensuring that the bundle has a positive residual pressure and, for liquefied gases, by checking the weight against the tare weight of the bundle. 4.2 Inspection during filling During filling of the bundle it shall be verified that no apparent leaks exist. Particular
41、 attention shall be paid to bundles containing toxic, flammable or pyrophoric gases. ! For bundles for liquefied gases equipped with closable cylinder valves, in order to ensure that no individual cylinder within the bundle or the bundle as a whole is overfilled, either all cylinders of a bundle sha
42、ll be dismantled and only each cylinder may be individually filled at a time, or each cylinder in a bundle shall be equipped with a filling control device to ensure that they are not overfilled.“ 4.3 Inspection after filling Upon completion of the filling of the bundle it shall be verified that: ! t
43、he bundle and no single cylinder with a closable cylinder valve has been overfilled.“ For bundles filled by pressure the pressure shall be corrected against the reference temperature. For bundles filled by weight, the weight of the full bundle shall be checked against the maximum permissible weight
44、by the use of a scale suitable for the weight of the bundle; the cylinder bundle has been correctly labelled; the main outlet valve is not leaking; no apparent leaks exist from the bundle; cylinder valves that need to be closed for transport in accordance with transport regulations, have been closed
