22、7 0870337 qb5 Page 4 EN 1920:2000 Introduction This standard covers requirements which reflect current practice and experience. Each transportable gas cylinder is inspected at time of filling in order to establish that: - it has no defects such that the cylinder is unsafe for filling or continued us
23、e; - it can be identified and complies with the relevant requirements with regard to marking, labelling, colour coding and completeness of its accessories; - its valve functions satisfactorily. The cylinder filling inspection shall be carried out only by persons who are trained and competent in the
24、subject, for the purpose of ensuring that a cylinder is safe for continued use. Annex A is for information only and is not a mandatory part of this standard. Q BSI 09-2000 - STDOBSI BS EN 1920-ENGL 2000 W LbZibb9 0870338 3Tl Page 5 EN 1920:2000 1 Scope This standard - specifies the inspection requir
25、ements at the time of filling and applies to seamless or welded transportable gas cylinders made of steel or aluminium alloy for compressed gases (excluding acetylene) of water capacity from 0,5 litre up to 150 litres. It also applies, as far as practicable, to cylinders of less than 0,5 litre water
26、 capacity; - does not apply to manifolded bundles or manifolded trailer cylinders. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

31、ries according to the gas temperature in the cylinder, which is dependent on the charging parameters and the ambient conditions.

34、ch cylinder shall be submitted to an inspection prior to, during and immediately after filling. The following items shall be covered by a filling inspection: - verification of serviceable condition (see 5.1); - identification of cylinder for suitability for filling (see 5.2); - identification of cyl
35、inder owner, if required (see 5.3); - verification of internal cylinder condition (see 5.4); - verification of integrity of neck ring/threaded boss (see 5.5); - verification of valve integrity and suitability (see 5.6); - check for correct filling pressure (see 5.7). 5 Description of inspection item
36、s 5.1 Verification of serviceable condition It shall be established that each cylinder, whether individual or palletized, is in a serviceable condition. Cylinders which have been found to be non-serviceable shall be clearly identified according to written procedures in the filling company. Q BSI 09-
37、2000 STD*BSI BS EN 1720-ENGL 2000 1b2+bbS 0870390 T5T Page 7 EN 1920:2000 a) Individual cylinder Before a cylinder is filled it shall be established that the cylinder is clean and fiee of foreign material (Le. such that the cylinder can be assessed for mechanical damage that would prevent it fiom be
38、ing filled safely) and does not exhibit any abnormalities such as arc burns, bulging, severe corrosion, heavfire damage or significant mechanical damage. In case of doubt, rejection criteria described in prEN 1968: 1998, prEN 1802: 1998 or prEN 1803: 1998, as appropriate, shall be applied. NOTE: It
39、is particularly important that the base of each welded cylinder is inspected for corrosion or rusting. Cylinders exhibiting such evidence should not be filled until properly evacuated, cleaned and painted. b) Palietized cylinder A filler may only submit a pallet for filling, without unloading the cy
40、linders, if a written procedure exists within the filling company and its representatives which ensures that only cylinders in a serviceable condition are filled see a). 5.2 Identification of cylinder for suitability for filling Before filling a cylinder, it shall be established that: - the cylinder
41、 has not passed its due date for retest; - the cylinder is compatible with the intended gas content and filling pressure; - the cylinder is permitted for filling in the country of the filling station; - the proposed contents correspond with any identification label and shoulder colour on the cylinde
42、r. If there is any disagreement between the proposed content and such identification, the cylinder shall not be filled. 5.3 Identification of cylinder owner If required, before filling, the identity of the cylinders owner shall be established and his authorization to fill the cylinder obtained. 5.4
43、Verification of internal cylinder condition In case of liquid ingress for some gadcylinder material combinations, internal corrosion can occur (see EN IS0 11 114-1). For such gases (e.g. 02/02 mixtures, Cch mixtures), filling stations shall follow a written procedure which shall be based upon experi
44、ence, dependent upon service conditions. For example, such cylinders without special valves which prevent ingress of contamination, e.g. non-returdpositive pressure valves, or where there is a risk of internal corrosion of the cylinder material, shall be checked for liquid ingress, when there are do
45、ubts about its internal condition. Q BSI 09-2000 Page 8 EN 1920:2000 This check shall be carried out by using a residual pressure check, or check weighing, or moisture analysis or other method which confirms the presence of liquid contamination. If liquid is detected, a visual internal inspection sh
46、all be performed by a competent person, according to prEN 1968:1998, prEN 1802:1998 or prEN 1803:1998, as appropriate. 5.5 Verification of integrity of neck rinuthreaded boss Before filling a cylinder, it shall be established that the neck rindthreaded boss and guard (if fitted) are fit for the inte
47、nded purpose and that the neck ring, if one exists, is not loose. If there is a permanent valve guard or a welded-on shroud, it shall be checked to ensure that it is properly attached. 5.6 Verification of valve integrity and suitability 5.6.1 Prior to each fill, it shall be established that the inst
48、alled valve is suitable for the intended gas (see EN IS0 1 11 14-1 and prEN IS0 Il 114-2: 1999) and is in a satisfactory condition. As a minimum it shall be established that: - the valve is easy to operate; - the valve is fkee from contaminants; - the handwheel, or key operated spindle, is operable;
49、 - the safety device, if present, is undamaged; - the outlet threads and body are undamaged; - the valve attaches correctly to the filling connector. 5.6.2 During the filling cycle of a cylinder, the filler shall determine: - that the valve is not blocked (see annex A) and that the operation is progressing satisfactorily (e.g. temperature rise checks of cylinder); - that the valve does not leak in the open position (e.g. by the use of a gas compatible leak test fluid). If leakage is suspected check for example at the bonnet or at the gland
