This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endo
20、rsement, at the latest by September 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for

This document supersedes EN 14912:2005. The main changes between this version of this standard and the previous version are: ali
22、gnment with the requirement of paragraph 12 of Packing Instruction P200 of ADR; introduction of inspection and refurbishment requirements for pressure relief valves. It is recommended that users develop an environmental management policy. For guidance, see EN ISO 14000 series, see 1, 2 and 3. Users
23、of this standard should consult FprCEN/TS 16765 4 while implementing its requirements. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the technical annexes of the ADR 5. NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this European Standard. It is emphasized that ADR is regul

DINEN 14912:2015-05EN 14912:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared to reflect the current methods for periodically inspecting LPG cylinder valves, and is based upon the operating experience of millions of cylinder years of service ov
27、er a period of more than 50 years. The primary objective of the periodic inspection of transportable refillable LPG cylinder valves is that, at the completion of the tests, the cylinder valve can be re-introduced into service for a further period of time. The valve inspection is an integral part of
28、the periodic inspection of an LPG cylinder. Periodic inspections/tests shall be carried out by a competent person under the authorization of an inspection body based on a written scheme of examination. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to hea
29、lth if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriat
30、ely qualified and experienced people. Where judgements are called for, it has been assumed that they are made by competent persons who have been trained specifically for the tasks. DINEN 14912:2015-05EN 14912:2015(E)5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for inspection and maint
31、enance of LPG cylinder valves, either manually operated or self-closing, for reuse. It applies when the valve is either inspected or refurbished at the time of periodic inspection of the cylinder. This European Standard may also be applied at any other time, for example, when maintenance of the valv
32、e is necessary. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (inc

35、owing terms and definitions apply. 3.1 liquefied petroleum gas LPG low pressure liquefied gas composed of one or more light hydrocarbons which are assigned to UN 1011, UN 1075, UN 1965, UN 1969 or UN 1978 only and which consists mainly of propane, propene, butane, butane isomers, butene with traces
36、of other hydrocarbon gases 3.2 periodic inspection activities carried out at defined intervals, such as examining, measuring, testing or gauging the characteristics of a pressure vessel and comparing these with specified requirements 3.3 dismantling separation into component parts 3.4 minor repair o
37、perations that include cleaning and replacement of components accessible without any dismantling of the valve (e.g. outlet seal, excess flow device) 3.5 refurbishment operation that includes complete dismantling of the valve, evaluation and replacement of internal components, and reassembly DIN EN 1
38、4912:2015-05 EN 14912:2015(E)6 3.6 competent person person which by combination of appropriate qualification, training, experience and resources, is able to make objective judgments on the subject 3.7 external leak tightness resistance to leakage through the fitting to or from the atmosphere when th
39、e valve/fitting is open 3.8 internal leak tightness resistance to leakage across the valve or fitting seat or other internal sealing components when the valve is closed 3.9 written scheme document, prepared by an inspection body, containing inspection information 3.10 self-closing valve normally clo
40、sed valve that provides a leak tight seal, opens by the engagement of a special connector or by fluid passing through it and closes automatically upon removal of the connector or by stopping the fluid flow 3.11 working pressure pressure under normal operating conditions 4 General requirements 4.1 Ge
41、neral The valve shall be cleaned externally to facilitate inspection. The inspection shall determine if: the valve is suitable for service; maintenance is required; or the valve shall be scrapped. 4.2 Cleaning Contaminants, foreign matter and corrosion products shall be removed from the valve to fac
42、ilitate inspection, taking care not to damage any sealing surfaces. If any cleaning materials are used, they shall be: completely removed after use; or suitable for and compatible with LPG and the materials of construction of the valve, the LPG cylinder and the associated downstream equipment. 4.3 P
43、ersonnel Valves shall be inspected and maintained by a competent person. Where valve removal is required, it shall only be removed from LPG cylinders by competent personnel, or under the responsibility of a competent person. DIN EN 14912:2015-05 EN 14912:2015 (E) 7 4.4 Safety concerns Prior to manua
44、lly removing a valve, it shall be verified that the cylinder does not contain liquid and is not under pressure. An additional check shall be made to ensure that the valve is not obstructed or blocked. Cylinders that contained liquid shall be emptied and depressurized in a safe and controlled manner.
45、 Cylinders with inoperative or blocked valves shall be set aside for safe valve removal. To confirm if an LPG cylinder contains residual liquid LPG, when its valve is suspected to be inoperative or blocked, it can be weighed and this weight compared to the tare mass. Valves shall only be removed fro
46、m and refitted safely to a pressurized LPG cylinder provided the facility includes suitable equipment. External inspection and minor repairs may be carried out on valves while they are connected to a pressurized LPG cylinder, e.g. at time of filing, but this may require special procedures and equipm
47、ent. Refurbishment shall only be performed on valves that have been removed. 5 Inspections 5.1 General All valves shall be inspected in accordance with 5.2. If the valves have been removed from the cylinders, additional inspections shall be performed in accordance with 5.3. Valves fitted with dip-tu
48、bes, eduction tubes, sediment tubes, inlet filters, level indicating devices or overfill protection devices shall be removed from the cylinders. Valves with excess flow devices fitted onto the stems of manually operated valves shall also be removed from the cylinders unless the correct operation of the flow devices is checked after each filling. Valves fitted with pressure relief valves shall also be tested in accordance with 5.4. 5.2 External inspection All valves shall be externally inspected f
