The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
23、 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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with
24、 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 main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft Intern
25、ational 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. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may

ISO 15996 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 2, Cylinder fittings. ENISO15996:2005 vIntroduction Gas cylinders are fitted with valves, to conta
27、in and control the discharge of their contents. Increased requirements about avoidance of contamination of gases and gas cylinders has led to the development of gas cylinder valves incorporating residual pressure devices. These devices are designed to maintain a small positive differential pressure
28、between the inlet and the outlet of the cylinder valve. This prevents the gas cylinder from being completely empty in customer use and stops ingress of atmospheric contamination. Many of these devices include a non-return function that protects the cylinder from back flow from downstream processes.
29、BS EN ISO 15996:2005+A1:2007blankINTENRATIONAL TSANDADR IS:69951 O5002(E)1Gas cylinders Residual pressure valves General requirements and type testing 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for residual pressure valves, with or without a non-return function, for gas cylinders and
30、 the methods of testing such valves, for type approval. This International Standard is applicable to valves to be fitted to gas cylinders of up to 150 l water capacity, intended to contain compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases. This International Standard does not cover valves for fire extinguish
31、ers, cryogenic equipment or liquefied petroleum gas. These requirements are in addition to those laid down in ISO 10297. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

36、ts to open NOTE Due to the effects of manufacturing tolerances this is normally expressed as a range of pressures. 3.6 closing off pressure differential pressure between upstream and downstream pressures at which the residual pressure device closes NOTE Due to the effects of manufacturing tolerances
37、 this is normally expressed as a range of pressures. 4 Valve requirements 4.1 General Valves shall operate satisfactorily over the full range of service temperatures, normally from 20 C to + 65 C. The range may be exceeded for short periods (e.g. during filling). Where higher or lower service temper
38、atures are required for longer periods, the purchaser shall specify them accordingly. Valves shall be capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses or chemical attack they may experience during normal service e.g. during storage, valving into cylinders, filling processes, transportation and end us
39、e of the cylinder. Valves shall be cleaned to meet the requirements of the intended service. However, valves to be tested shall be in a condition that the manufacturer intends to supply, prior to any test or test preparation. 4.2 Description There are currently two main types of residual pressure va
40、lves (see Figures A.1 and A.2). The valve shown in Figure A.1 leaves a small positive or residual pressure in the cylinder. The valve shown in Figure A.2 not only leaves a small positive pressure, but also incorporates a non-return function to prevent back-flow into the cylinder from a higher pressu
41、re source. The valve shown in Figure A.2 requires either an adapter or a manual adjustment to overcome the non-return function for filling, whereas the valve shown in Figure A.1 usually does not. Two other schematic designs are shown in Annex A. 4.3 Valve outlet geometry The residual pressure device
42、, if placed in a valve outlet, shall be designed so that it does not interfere with a gas withdrawal connection made in accordance with the relevant national or international standard. The diameter of the gas passage between the valve outlet and the body of the valve is permitted to be larger than i
43、s quoted in the relevant standard provided safety is not compromised. BS EN ISO 15996:2005+A1:2007 34.4 Performance requirements of the residual pressure device 4.4.1 Leakage tightness The leak rate for residual pressure devices shall not exceed 6 cm 3 /h at 20 C and 1 013 mbar when tested at 0,5 ba
44、r and a room temperature normally between 15 C and 30 C. NOTE Leakage rate may vary at extremes of temperature. Therefore it should be considered for acceptability for individual applications. Test details are given in 5.4.2. 4.4.2 Endurance Residual pressure devices shall perform to the manufacture
45、rs specification for opening and closing-off pressures over a life of at least 100 000 cycles. This requirement is in addition to any cycle tests required to satisfy the endurance test specified in ISO 10297, where the cylinder valve is to be tested with the residual pressure device neutralized usin
46、g the manufacturers recommended method or by using a valve not fitted with the residual pressure device. The test cycle is described in 5.4.3. Leakage rate at the end of the test cycle shall not exceed 6 cm 3 /h at 20 C and 1 013 mbar when tested at 0,5 bar and a room temperature normally between 15
47、 C and 30 C. 4.4.3 Resistance against reverse over pressure Where a residual pressure valve incorporates a non-return function, this shall be able to resist a reverse pressure of 1,5 p vt . The test is described in 5.4.4. 4.4.4 Resistance to ignition Residual pressure valves for oxygen and highly ox
48、idizing gases as defined in ISO 10156 shall be subjected to an oxygen pressure surge test in accordance with the requirements of 5.4.5. After the test, valves shall show no evidence of ignition. NOTE In addition, the design should ensure that the valve will resist ignition in normal service conditions, in particular under certain flow conditions vibration (noise) can occur which may be a cause of ignition. 5 Type testing 5.1 General Before valves are introduced into service, they shall be submitted for t
