The work
18、of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-government
19、al, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The mai
20、n task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Att
21、ention 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 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 11372 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 4, Operational r
22、equirements for gas cylinders. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 11372:2005), with the following main technical revisions: a) ISO 11372:2005 was revised taking into account EN 12754 and EN 1801. b) The clauses concerning filling inspection were restructured in order to
23、better reflect the actual proceeding of the filling inspection. c) A new subclause 3.3 with requirements and information regarding the solvent content was added. d) A new Clause 4 concerning the specific filling inspection of solvent-free acetylene cylinders was added. e) A new informative Annex A i
24、ntroducing the Safe operating diagram was added in order to improve the understanding of the importance of correct filling conditions for acetylene cylinders. f) A new normative Annex B outlining the calculations necessary for determination of the solvent content was added.

25、1372:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard aims at the harmonization of the different operating and filling conditions of individual acetylene cylinders and covers requirements that reflect current practice and experience regarding the inspection at the time
26、of filling. ISO 11372 is intended to be used under a variety of national regulatory regimes but has been written so that it is suitable for the application of the UN Model Regulations1. Where there is any conflict between this International Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation alwa
27、ys takes precedence. In International Standards, weight 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”, but this practice is deprecated (see ISO 80000-4). In
28、this International Standard the unit bar is used, due to its universal use in the field of technical gases. It should, however, be noted that bar is not an SI unit, and that the corresponding SI unit for pressure is pascals (Pa). Pressure values given in this International Standard are given as gaug
29、e pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric pressure) unless noted otherwise.

30、specifies minimum requirements for the filling conditions and filling inspection of acetylene cylinders. This International Standard is not applicable to an assembly of cylinders connected by a manifold, e.g. bundles (see ISO 13088). 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the fol
31、lowing terms and definitions apply. 2.1 acetylene cylinder cylinder manufactured and suitable for the transport of acetylene, containing a porous material and solvent (where applicable) for acetylene, with a valve and other accessories affixed to the cylinder NOTE 1 For solvent-free acetylene cylind

43、 Filling inspection 3.1 General Each cylinder shall be submitted to an inspection prior to, during and immediately after filling. Filling of an acetylene cylinder includes determination of its solvent content and replenishment of its solvent, where applicable. The items described in 3.2 to 3.5 shall
44、 be covered by a filling inspection. Cylinders not fulfilling these requirements shall be clearly identified for further treatment according to the written procedures of the filling station. Cylinder owners may request that their authorization be obtained prior to their cylinders being filled. Such
45、ownership shall be established and this authorization obtained before filling the cylinders. The filling conditions of acetylene cylinders are established based on type testing according to ISO 3807 or other applicable regulations/standards. Filling conditions for acetylene cylinders are shown in th
46、e Safe operating diagram in Annex A, for information. 3.2 Pre-fill inspection 3.2.1 Verification of stamp-marking and necessary documentation The information required in the following lists shall be made available to the filler, for example, by providing him with appropriate documentation and by tra
47、ining. Before filling an acetylene cylinder, it shall be identified that: a) the cylinder is permitted for filling in the country of the filling station; b) the cylinder has not exceeded its due date for periodic inspection; c) the cylinder does not have a current history of problems; d) the stamp m
48、arking (in accordance with regional regulatory requirements and/or ISO 13769) and labelling (in accordance with regional regulatory requirements and/or ISO 7225) are appropriate to acetylene; NOTE For sovent-free acetylene cylinders, additional marking elements according to 4.1 need to be verified.
49、e) the colour coding (in accordance with regional regulatory requirements and/or regional industry practice), where applicable, is appropriate to acetylene. Before filling an acetylene cylinder, the following information shall be made available: 1) identification of the porous material; 2) type of solvent; 3) specified solvent content; 4) tare (with information whether tare A or tare S is used); 5) total weight and/or its maximum acetylene content (if tare A is used) or its maximum acetylene charge (if
