11、2006vForeword 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 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for whic
12、h 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 with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all ma
13、tters 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 International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circ
14、ulated 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 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held respons
15、ible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 20703 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 3, Cylinder design. This International Standard has been prepared to address the general requirements in Section 6.2.1 of the UN model regulations for the trans
16、portation of dangerous goods ST/SG/AC.10/1/Rev.13. It is intended to be used under a variety of regulatory regimes but has been written so that it is suitable for use with the conformity assessment system in paragraph 6.2.2.5 of the above mentioned model regulations. BS ISO 20703:2006vi Introduction
17、 The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection and approval of refillable, transportable, welded aluminium-alloy gas cylinders. The specifications given are based on knowledge of, and experience with, materials, design requirements,
18、manufacturing processes and control during manufacture of cylinders in common use in the countries of the participating members.

BS ISO 20703:20064 4 Materials 4.1 General provisions 4.1.1 Aluminium alloys may be used to produce gas cylinders provided that they satisfy the requirements of the corrosion resistance tests defined in Annex A,
40、 and meet all other requirements of this International Standard. 4.1.2 Examples of the alloys most commonly used for the fabrication of gas cylinders are given in Table 1. 4.1.3 After the completion of all welding (including that of the attachments) and before the hydraulic test, each cylinder shall
41、 be heat treated if required to meet the design criteria. 4.2 Heat treatment 4.2.1 General Any welding on the pressure-bearing part shall take place before any final heat treatment (see 6.2). 4.2.2 Heat-treatable alloys The manufacturer shall specify on the new design type testing documentation, whe
42、re required, the solution heat treatment and artificial ageing temperatures and the times for which the cylinders have been held at those temperatures. The medium used for quenching after solution heat treatment shall be identified. Unless the alloy is subjected to a temperature in excess of 400 C d
43、uring the forming process, a stabilizing treatment shall be carried out and the temperature, and time at temperature, shall be identified by the manufacturer. However, the stabilizing treatment is not necessary for a cylinder of which the wall thickness in 5.2 is calculated with the minimum guarante
44、ed yield stress value of the O-tempered alloy (or the alloy annealed for complete re-crystallization before forming of cylinder, as defined in ISO 2107). If the cylinder is intended for dissolved-gas service it shall only be used in the fully annealed condition, i.e. the minimum guaranteed propertie
45、s used for the material shall consider the heat treatment to be applied, e.g. during the massing operation. 4.2.3 Non-heat-treatable alloys The manufacturer shall specify on the new design type testing documentation, where required, the type of metal forming operation carried out (extrusion, drawing
46、, ironing, head forming, etc.). Unless the alloy is subjected to a temperature in excess of 400 C during the forming process, a stabilizing treatment shall be carried out and the temperature, and time at temperature, shall be identified by the manufacturer. 4.2.4 Control of specified heat treatment
47、During the heat treatment, the manufacturer shall comply with the specified temperatures and durations, within the following ranges: a) Temperatures Solution temperature: maximum range 20 C Artificial ageing temperature: maximum range 20 C Stabilizing temperature: maximum range 20 C BS ISO 20703:200
48、65b) Durations Time cylinders actually spend at temperature during treatments: All treatments: maximum range 20 % 4.3 Gas/material compatibility Gas/material compatibility shall be verified as specified in ISO 11114-1. 5 Design 5.1 General provisions 5.1.1 The calculation of the wall thickness of th
49、e pressure-bearing parts shall be related to the yield stress (Re) of the material to ensure elastic behaviour. 5.1.2 For calculation purposes, the value of the yield stress (Re) is limited to a maximum of 0,9 Rgfor aluminium alloys. 5.1.3 The internal pressure upon which the calculation of wall thickness is based shall be hydraulic test pressure (ph). 5.1.4 For dissolved gases, the manufacturing process of the porous mass can modify the characteristics of the aluminium all
