CSA 12.6-04 Canadian Standards Association viii February 2004 Foreword The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) develops standards un
17、der the name Canadian Standards Association, and provides certification and testing under the name CSA International. CSA International provides certification services for manufacturers who, under license from CSA, wish to use the appropriate registered CSA Marks on certain products of their manufac
18、ture to indicate conformity with CSA Standards. CSA Certification for a number of products is provided in the interest of maintaining agreed-upon standards of quality, performance, interchangeability and/or safety, as appropriate. Where applicable, certification may form the basis for acceptance by
19、inspection authorities responsible for enforcement of regulations. Where feasible, programs will be developed for additional products for which certification is desired by producers, consumers, or other interests. In performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, CSA does not assume or
20、undertake to discharge any responsibility of the manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of the Association represent its professional judgement given with due consideration to the necessary limitations of practical operation and state of the art at the time the Standard is proces
21、sed. Products in substantial accord with this Standard but which exhibit a minor difference or a new feature may be deemed to meet the Standard providing the feature or difference is found acceptable utilizing appropriate CSA International Operating Procedures. Products that comply with this Standar
22、d shall not be certified if they are found to have additional features which are inconsistent with the intent of this Standard. Products shall not be certifiable if they are discovered to contravene applicable laws or regulations. Testing techniques, test procedures, and instrumentation frequently m
23、ust be prescribed by CSA International in addition to the technical requirements contained in Standards of CSA. In addition to markings specified in the Standard, CSA International may require special cautions, markings, and instructions that are not specified by the Standard. Some tests required by
24、 CSA Standards may be inherently hazardous. The Association neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed, whether performed in whole or in part by the manufacturer or the Association, and whether or not an
25、y equipment, facility, or personnel for or in connection with the test is furnished by the manufacturer or the Association. Manufacturers should note that, in the event of the failure of CSA International to resolve an issue arising from the interpretation of requirements, there is an appeal procedu
26、re: the complainant should submit the matter, in writing, to the Secretary of the Canadian Standards Association. If this Standard is to be used in obtaining CSA Certification please remember, when making application for certification, to request all current Amendments, Bulletins, Notices, and Techn
27、ical Information Letters that may be applicable and for which there may be a nominal charge. For such information or for further information concerning CSA Certification, please address your inquiry to Applications and Customer Service, CSA International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario, Can

Canadian Standards Association Vehicle Refuelling Appliances February 2004 1 CSA 12.6-04 Vehicle Refuelling Appliances 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard applies to independently operating gas compressor packages designed for installation in accordance with (a) CAN/CSA-B149.1 when used for filli
29、ng vehicles; or (b) CSA B108 when used for filling gas storage or piping systems. 1.2 This Standard applies to independently operating gas compressor packages that are (a) intended to be used for natural gas only; (b) intended for installation only in non-hazardous locations; and (c) designed so as
30、not to create a hazard through leakage. 1.3 This Standard applies to gas compressor packages that are (a) certified as a system for the direct fuelling of vehicles. In this package the system includes components necessary to transfer fuel to a vehicle such as breakaway devices, delivery hoses, and f
31、uel transfer nozzles. Nozzles, hose assemblies, and breakaway devices are not interchangeable between the P30 system and other pressure systems; or (b) certified for use with a piping system or to fill gas storage but not connected to a vehicle. In such cases, the certification need not include comp
32、onents such as the breakaway device, delivery hose, or fuel transfer nozzle. 1.4 This Standard applies to multiple-hose gas compressor packages and multiple accessories (as covered under the Scope) that form a part of the system. 1.5 This Standard applies to compressor packages intended for use on a
33、 system voltage of 600 V or less, designed to be used in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. 1.6 A compressor package is investigated under this Standard for reliable and safe operation at ambient temperatures of 40 C (40F) and the manufacturers declared maximum ambient temperature
34、 rating; this declared rating is not less than 40 C (104F). 1.7 This Standard is written in SI (metric) units. The yard/pound units in parentheses are for information only.

40、ssociation Vehicle Refuelling Appliances February 2004 3 3 Definitions The following definitions apply in this Standard: Blowdown system an integral component system of the VRA designed to reduce the delivery side pressure (up to and including the fuelling probe and the space between the vehicle rec
41、eptacle and check valve) from operating level to 517 kPa (75 psig) or less at the end of every fuelling cycle. Note: This allows for safe and easy disconnection of the refuelling hose from the vehicle by the VRA user. The system may also depressurize the compressor to allow easier starting. The syst
42、em includes means to contain the expanded volume of high pressure gas necessary to achieve the pressure reduction. Declared maximum ambient temperature rating (DMATR) the allowable maximum ambient temperature during operation, as declared by the manufacturer. Hazard a condition in which there is a p
43、ossibility of having a flammable or explosive atmosphere. Non-hazardous condition a condition in which there is no possibility of having a flammable or explosive atmosphere. Pressure Delivery pressure (as applied to NGV refuelling systems) the settled pressure of the delivered gas. See Clause 4.7.2
44、for applicable equations. Design pressure (as applied to a pressure piping system or part of a pressure piping system) the pressure used to determine the minimum permissible thicknesses or pressure rating of all piping, tubing, fittings, and pressure vessels in the system. Note: The set-to-open pres
45、sure of pressure-relieving devices protecting the system is not to be greater than the design pressure. Operating pressure (as applied to a pressure piping system or part of a pressure piping system) the highest pressure at which the system, or the specified part of a system, normally operates. Note
46、: It should be at a suitable level below the set-to-open pressure of the pressure-relieving means, protecting the system so as to prevent frequent opening of the pressure-relieving means. Service pressure the settled pressure at a uniform gas temperature of 21 C (70F) and full gas content. Note: Ser
47、vice pressure is the pressure for which the equipment has been constructed, under normal conditions. It is also referred to as nominal service pressure or working pressure. Nominal service pressures are P30, 20 700 kPa (3000 psi), or P36, 24 800 kPa (3600 psi), at 21 C (70F). Settled pressure the ga
48、s pressure at which a given settled temperature is reached. Pressure-relieving means an automatic device that opens a relief vent when the pressure is above a predetermined value. Settled temperature the uniform gas temperature after any change in temperature caused by filling has dissipated. Vehicl
49、e refuelling appliance (VRA) a natural gas compressor package not containing gas storage, having a flow rate not in excess of 0.3 m3/min (10 CFM) (corrected to standard conditions of 101.3 kPa at 15 C (30 in Hg and 60F) and intended for unattended refuelling of vehicles, filling of gas storage facilities, or supplying a piping manifold system.
