28、the contents of an individual gas cylinder may not satisfy the gas demand, in which case assemblies of cylinders can be used to supply larger volumes of gas in a single unit. The single unit, which contains a number of cylinders, is known as a cylinder bundle. A cylinder bundle is a portable assembl
29、y which is designed to be routinely lifted and which consists of a frame and two or more cylinders connected to a manifold by cylinder valves or fittings so that the cylinders can be filled, transported and emptied without disassembly. A cylinder bundle can be subjected to rough handling in the cour
30、se of normal operations. There are types of gas cylinder assemblies which use cylinder bundle components, but which are designed to be disassembled at each filling to enable the cylinders to be filled individually. Although these assemblies do not conform to the basic definition of a cylinder bundle
31、, they are commonly referred to as bundles. Their special requirements are included in Annex A. Acetylene cylinder bundles are often filled without disassembly. However, in order to confirm their solvent content, they are disassembled after a defined number of fillings. In International Standards, w
32、eight is equivalent to a force, expressed in newtons. However, in common parlance (as used in terms defined in this International Standard), the word “weight” continues to be used to mean “mass”, even though this practice is deprecated (see ISO 80000-4). 4DIN EN ISO 10961:2012-06 EN ISO 10961:2012 (
33、E) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements for the design, construction, testing and initial inspection of a transportable cylinder bundle. It is applicable to cylinder bundles containing compressed gas, liquefied gas and mixtures thereof. It is also applicable to cylinder bun
34、dles for acetylene. This International Standard does not apply to packages in which cylinders are manifolded together in a support frame which is designed to be fixed permanently to a road vehicle, to a railway wagon or to the ground as a customer storage vessel. It does not apply to cylinder bundle
35、s which are designed for use in extreme environmental or operational conditions when additional and extraordinary requirements are imposed to maintain safety standards, reliability and performance, e.g. offshore cylinder bundles. Some special applications (e.g. electronics) require an alternative de
36、sign approach. With the agreement of the inspection body, the manifold and its piping components may be designed and tested at a pressure which is appropriate to the service conditions. Specific requirements for acetylene cylinder bundles containing acetylene in a solvent are included in Annex B. Th
37、is International Standard does not, however, cover acetylene cylinder bundles with solvent-free acetylene cylinders. This International Standard is intended primarily for industrial gases other than liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs), but it may also be used for LPGs. Unless otherwise stated, individu
38、al cylinders within cylinder bundles will have to conform to applicable standards for single cylinders. This International Standard specifies the additional requirements that apply when individual cylinders are assembled into a bundle. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are in
