16、S EN ISO 13341:2010ISO 13341:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technic
17、al 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 organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely wi
18、th the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft Inte
19、rnational 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 the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document ma
20、y be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13341 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13341:1997), which has been technically revised.
21、 It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 13341:1997/Cor.1:1998.

22、SO 13341:2010INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13341:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved 1Gas cylinders Fitting of valves to gas cylinders 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the procedures to be followed when connecting cylinder valves to gas cylinders. It specifically applies to all valve and
23、cylinder combinations connected with ISO screw threads as specified in ISO 10920 and ISO 11363-1. It defines routines for inspection and preparation prior to valving for both taper and parallel screw threads. Torque values are given in Annex A for steel and aluminium gas cylinders including composit
24、e cylinders with steel or aluminium boss. NOTE The procedures and practices specified in this International Standard can be beneficially applied to other valve to cylinder screw thread connection systems. ISO/TR 113644lists the valve to gas cylinder threads in use worldwide. It gives details of the
25、thread identification codes, whether the threads are interchangeable with ISO threads and if the taping procedure and torque values specified in this International Standard can be used. ISO/TR 113644gives clear guidance for the method and torque for all listed inlet threads, which are not interchang
26、eable. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

29、ion 3 General requirements and recommendations Gas cylinders and valves shall be connected so that when in use the combination is gas tight and the valve cannot be removed inadvertently from the cylinder. The tools used to screw the valve into the gas cylinder shall fit the valve properly and the ga
30、s cylinder shall be secured against rotation during the torquing process. The tools shall not cause damage to either the valve or the cylinder. Minor marks to the valve and the cylinder are acceptable. The cylinder and the valving tool axes shall be aligned. In addition, some composite cylinders nee
31、d special treatment for the valving process, for example fixing the neck/metal boss during torquing. Any special instructions given by the cylinder manufacturer shall be followed.

32、SO 13341:2010(E) 2 ISO 2010 All rights reservedSealing materials used between the valve stem and cylinder neck threads shall be compatible with the gas to be contained in the cylinder (e.g. oxygen), in accordance with ISO 11114-2. Except as described in 7.3, the torque applied to the valve shall be
33、within the relevant range given in Annex A. Valve manufacturers shall make available instructions if their specific recommendations regarding their product differ from those included in this International Standard (e.g. if their maximum torque recommendation is less than the maximum allowed in the r
34、elevant range included in Annex A). For all threads, the maximum level of torque should not be exceeded as this will give rise to a high stress in the valve stem and/or cylinder neck. Care shall be taken with aluminium alloy cylinders, for which valving torques are lower than for steel cylinders. Al
35、uminium alloy cylinders shall not be valved at temperatures above ambient because, on cooling, differential contraction between the cylinder and the valve will give rise to a high stress in the cylinder neck. High difference of temperature between cylinder neck and valve should be avoided. Some valv
36、e designs can be unsuitable to be valved at elevated temperatures (e.g. above 65 C). All tools and equipment used for valving cylinders shall be periodically validated for accuracy. Accuracy shall be established by measuring the torque applied to the valve of a valved cylinder as indicated in 5.4.3
37、for taper threads and in 6.5 for parallel threads. NOTE Some machine tools rely on the friction between the valve and gas cylinder threads to stop the machine turning once the correct torque has been reached. For fast running machines, the inertia to be absorbed before the machine stops can result i
38、n valving torques being in practice far higher than the machine set point. 4 Preparation 4.1 Each valve and cylinder thread shall be examined to ensure that they are to the same dimensional standard, for example ISO 11363-1 or ISO 15245-1. NOTE 1 Equivalent dimensional standards will make up the sub
39、ject of the future ISO/TR 11364. NOTE 2 Some standards require that valve and cylinder threads be identified by marking (e.g. ISO 10297 and ISO 13769). 4.2 The valve and cylinder threads shall be visually inspected for integrity and, where applicable, for damaged O-ring sealing surfaces. In particul
40、ar, when valving aluminium alloy cylinders, the bottom threads on the stem of valves and the lower threads within the cylinder neck shall be fully formed at the root of the thread and free from ragged edges or burrs. Similar care is required when fitting stainless steel valves to all cylinders. Acce
41、ptance criteria for used valves are given in ISO 22434. 4.3 Threads and sealing surface on both valve and cylinder shall be checked for cleanliness. Any remnants of old PTFE sealing tape or other sealants, paints and other contaminants shall be completely removed. Care should be taken to prevent any
42、 debris falling into the cylinder. Depending on the gas service and application, before fitting the valve, it shall be ensured that the internal surface of the cylinder is clean and dry. 4.4 The top face of the cylinder, where a parallel thread is used, shall be free of paint, debris or other contam
43、ination so that the valve flange can rest directly on it when the cylinder has been valved.

44、lves 5.1 General Thread sealing can be achieved using sealant tape in accordance with 5.2 or soft metal caps in accordance with 5.3. Alternative sealing methods may be used, for example paste (see Annex B) or PTFE caps (in which case refer to the manufacturers instructions). 5.2 Wrapping with sealan
45、t tape 5.2.1 Wrapping of the valve stem with tape shall commence at the small end of the taper; the sealant tape shall be wound clockwise when looking from the base of the valve. 5.2.2 Wrapping shall be such that it protrudes beyond the small end of the valve stem by a maximum of 3 mm and a minimum
46、of 1 mm. At the small end, there shall be a minimum of three layers of tape (see 5.2.5). Tape shall then be overlapped during wrapping to give an even double thickness all the way up to include the top thread of the valve stem. The number of layers may be adjusted depending on thickness of tape. Exc
47、essive tape thickness may increase the stress or push the tape out. 5.2.3 The tape shall not be excessively stretched during wrapping and shall be carefully torn or cut. 5.2.4 Tape shall be carefully worked into the valve thread profile. Adherence between the tape and the valve stem thread form shou
48、ld be established. 5.2.5 Roll back the tape which protrudes beyond the bottom of the valve stem to leave the bottom face of the valve stem clear of tape; this will result in a doubling of the layers of tape covering the first valve stem thread at the small end. The valve shall then be fitted to the
49、cylinder by hand prior to torquing. 5.3 Application of soft metal caps 5.3.1 Soft metal caps containing lead shall not be used with aluminium alloy cylinders. 5.3.2 The soft metal cap used shall be of the correct size. 5.3.3 After the cap is pulled over the valve stem, it shall be carefully worked into the valve thread profile with a suitable tool or a leather glove, to prevent the bottom end of the soft metal cap being cut off when the valve is fitted. 5.3.4 Valves shall be fitted to the cylinder by hand prior to torquing. 5.4 Valve tor
