19、pection and maintenance of cylinder valves, including valves with integrated pressure regulators (VIPR) (see ISO 22435). This International Standard may be applied to cylinder valves at the time of the periodic inspection of gas cylinders, bundles, drums and trailers, and at any other time, e.g. at
20、change of gas service (see ISO 11621). It does not apply to routine inspection of cylinder valves carried out at the time of cylinder filling. NOTE National standards and regulations may apply to maintenance of cylinder valves. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensa

27、owing terms and definitions apply. 3.1 inspection procedure to determine if a cylinder valve is suitable for further service 3.2 dismantling separation of the cylinder valve into its component parts, such that the main pressure barrier of the valve is breached 3.3 removal disconnection of the cylind
28、er valve from the gas cylinder 3.4 maintenance operations required to keep the cylinder valve in working condition NOTE This covers minor repairs, major repairs and refurbishment. 3.4.1 minor repair operation including cleaning, and replacement of non-pressure-retaining components, e.g. handwheel, o
29、utlet flow restrictor, residual pressure device fitted in the valve outlet 3.4.2 major repair operation including replacement of valve accessories which are incorporated within the pressure boundary, but do not require dismantling of the cylinder valve, e.g. pressure relief device (PRD), pressure ga
30、uges, flowmeter 3.4.3 refurbishment operation involving dismantling of the cylinder valve, evaluation of its internal components, and reassembly to make it suitable for further service 4 General requirements 4.1 Occurrence If a cylinder valve is deemed to require maintenance at any time, e.g. at tim
31、e of periodic test of the gas cylinder, it shall either be scrapped, or be subject to the procedures given below. 4.2 Personnel Cylinder valves shall be inspected, maintained and removed from gas cylinders by competent personnel only. 4.3 Safety concerns Prior to removing the cylinder valve from a g
32、as cylinder it shall be verified that no pressure remains in the cylinder. See ISO 6406:2005, Annex D. NOTE Special techniques and equipment exist in some industries, e.g. LPG, for removing valves safely from cylinders under pressure. BS EN ISO 22434:2011EN ISO 22434:2011 (E)Licensed Copy: Wang Bin,

Major repairs and refurbishment shall only be performed
34、 on a cylinder valve in a de-pressurized cylinder or on a removed valve. 5 Inspection and maintenance Inspection will determine if a cylinder valve is suitable for continued service or if maintenance is required, and the level of that maintenance. 5.1 Inspection Inspection of cylinder valves compris
35、es external examination preceded by cleaning, where necessary. 5.1.1 Cleaning The cylinder valve shall be clean externally to facilitate inspection. a) Contamination, foreign bodies and corrosion products shall be removed from the valve outlet taking care not to damage any sealing surfaces. b) If an
36、y cleaning media are used, they are to be suitable for the intended gas service (e.g. medical), the materials of construction of the cylinder valve, the gas cylinder and the associated downstream equipment. Cleaning media shall be completely removed. 5.1.2 External examination valve remaining in the
37、 gas cylinder Cylinder valves shall be examined for defects including the following: a) the spindle does not move smoothly or is difficult to turn; b) bent, deformed, corroded, badly marked and scored bodies or those with cracks; c) bent or damaged spindles; d) cross-threaded, damaged, worn, corrode
38、d or stripped valve outlet and filling connections; e) damaged, corroded or worn outlet sealing surfaces and/or any non-metallic sealing element; f) any indication of having been subjected to excessive heat or having been in a fire; g) foreign matter obstructing or blocking ports; h) distorted wrenc
39、hing flats on key operated valves; i) evidence of abuse or tampering; j) evidence of damaged gauges; k) damage to handwheels; l) missing or damaged residual pressure valve unit; m) incorrect rating of pressure relief device; n) inappropriate valve for the gas service; o) contamination or suspect imp
40、roper lubrication or sealant at the valve to cylinder interface; p) loose gland nuts.

43、xcess flow prevention device. 5.1.4 Acceptance criteria Cylinder valves not exhibiting defects listed in 5.1.2 (and 5.1.3 if applicable) may re-enter service. Cylinder valves with any of the defects listed above shall either be subject to maintenance in accordance with 5.2, or scrapped in accordance
44、 with Clause 9. 5.2 Maintenance 5.2.1 Minor repairs Hand wheels and other non-pressure retaining parts shall be assessed for reuse, repair or replacement as appropriate. 5.2.2 Major repairs If required, gland nuts shall be re-torqued to the original manufacturing value and using the recommended proc
45、edures. For cylinder valves equipped with pressure relief devices (PRD), if the PRD is to be replaced, it shall be replaced by items to the manufacturers original specification and in accordance with their instructions. Other accessories requiring replacement are to meet the original valve manufactu
46、rers specification and are to be replaced according to their instructions. 5.2.3 Refurbishment 5.2.3.1 General Cylinder valves may only be refurbished if they are designed to be dismantled and reassembled. Refurbishment shall be carried out after decontamination, as appropriate. Where replacement pa
47、rts are used, they shall be in accordance with the cylinder valve manufacturers specification for the intended gas service. Cylinder valves shall be dismantled in accordance with the original manufacturers specifications, using appropriate tools and in a work area specially set aside for this activi
48、ty.
